Department of State federal obligations in Pennsylvania

Four hundred forty-five 019 awards tagged to Pennsylvania

Department of State as awarding agency, Pennsylvania as place-of-performance: 445 records summing to $158,538,989.86. 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.

Four hundred forty-five awards against $158,538,989.86 is the thickest 019 cell in this slice: more rows than Arizona’s 322, still not a loan-action flood. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 445 as 445 unique passport volumes, unique posts, or named overseas missions. 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.

Do not merge this PA × 019 cell with the Pennsylvania-2 overlay on agency 072. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh shares are unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Pennsylvania did not cause $158,538,989.86 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 019 × PA only.

Not a Philadelphia-versus-Pittsburgh consular map

$158,538,989.86 does not measure passport volumes, unique posts, or named overseas missions. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 019 and a PA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 445 awards as a census of passport volumes, unique posts, or named overseas missions. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Pennsylvania federal spending or Department of State matched $158,538,989.86 and 445, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. New Jersey, New York, and Maryland State Dept 019 joins are other pairs, not addends.

Pennsylvania statewide, not a two-city rollup

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 $158,538,989.86 by city, county, or named facility. 445 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

A thicker 019 file still records obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $158,538,989.86 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 445-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 $158,538,989.86.

Citing State Dept 019 × Pennsylvania

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of State (agency 019) obligated $158,538,989.86 on 445 awards coded to Pennsylvania. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as passport volumes, unique posts, or named overseas missions.

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 019 parent without the PA filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $158,538,989.86.

A usable footnote names Department of State, Pennsylvania, $158,538,989.86, and 445. The compact headline $158.5M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $356,267 is $158,538,989.86 divided by 445. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system. Post names, visa counts, and contractor identities are unpublished on this packet.
