Department of State (072) federal obligations in Pennsylvania
7 Department of State awards tagged to Pennsylvania sum to $85,700,555.55 on USAspending.gov. Awarding-agency 072 and Pennsylvania (PA) are the pair.

The implied mean is about $12.24 million per award — a packet quotient, not a typical invoice. USAspending.gov is the source. Obligations are not outlays.

Seven 072 awards tagged to Pennsylvania
Department of State as awarding agency, Pennsylvania as place-of-performance: 7 records summing to $85,700,555.55. A Department of State award coded outside PA is out. An award in Pennsylvania from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Pennsylvania (PA) excludes New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia. A Newark-coded award is New Jersey even if the traveler lives in Pennsylvania.
Seven awards against $85,700,555.55 is a one-digit 072 file: far thinner than the 445-award Pennsylvania 019 cell, a still-larger implied mean. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 7 as 7 unique visa counts, passport volumes, or named overseas posts. Department of State in Pennsylvania is the both-keys table. Pennsylvania federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of State is the agency book without a PA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
This slug is the Pennsylvania × agency-072 duplicate. Code 072 is the disambiguator. Do not add these seven rows into the 019 overlay. Named posts are unpublished. This slug is the Pennsylvania × agency-072 duplicate. Code 072 belongs in the title and heading. Shared display names do not merge 072 with another awarding code that uses the same agency label. Correlation is not causation: Pennsylvania did not cause $85,700,555.55 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 072 × PA only.
Code 072 is not the 445-row 019 cell
$85,700,555.55 does not measure visa counts, passport volumes, or named overseas posts. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 072 and a PA place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 7 awards as a census of visa counts, passport volumes, or named overseas posts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Pennsylvania federal spending or Department of State matched $85,700,555.55 and 7, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. New Jersey, New York, and the Pennsylvania 019 overlay are other pairs, not addends.
Pennsylvania statewide, not a two-city consular map
Place of performance PA is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Pennsylvania (PA) excludes New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia. A Newark-coded award is New Jersey even if the traveler lives in Pennsylvania. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
This packet does not split $85,700,555.55 by city, county, or named facility. 7 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.
A one-digit 072 file is still obligations
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $85,700,555.55 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Pennsylvania confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
Pennsylvania’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 7-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $85,700,555.55.
How to cite State Dept 072 × Pennsylvania
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of State (agency 072) obligated $85,700,555.55 on 7 awards coded to Pennsylvania. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as visa counts, passport volumes, or named overseas posts.
Prefer Department of State in Pennsylvania if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Pennsylvania federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to PA. Department of State is the 072 parent without the PA filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $85,700,555.55.
A usable footnote names Department of State, Pennsylvania, $85,700,555.55, and 7. The compact headline $85.7M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $12.24 million is $85,700,555.55 divided by 7. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system. Post names, visa counts, and contractor identities are unpublished on this packet.
