A thicker State file on South Carolina

Department of State as awarding agency, South Carolina as place-of-performance: 403 records summing to $360,580,937.52. A Department of State award coded outside SC is out. An award in South Carolina from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. South Carolina (SC) excludes North Carolina and Georgia. A Charlotte-coded award is North Carolina even if the contractor sits in the Upstate.

Four hundred three awards is the thickest Department of State cell in this slice. Volume can rise on modifications without each row being a new post. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 403 as 403 unique consular appointments, port calls, or diplomatic staff. The overlay Department of State in South Carolina is the both-keys table. South Carolina federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of State is the agency book without an SC filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Charleston Harbor and Columbia do not get published shares of $360,580,937.52. The join stays statewide. Correlation is not causation: South Carolina did not “cause” $360,580,937.52 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 019 × SC only.

Not a Charleston versus Columbia split

$360,580,937.52 does not measure consular appointments, port calls, or diplomatic staff. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 019 and an SC place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 403 awards as a census of consular appointments, port calls, or diplomatic staff. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If South Carolina federal spending or Department of State matched $360,580,937.52 and 403, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. North Carolina and Georgia State joins are other pairs, not addends.

South Carolina, not a Carolinas rollup

Place of performance SC is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. South Carolina (SC) excludes North Carolina and Georgia. A Charlotte-coded award is North Carolina even if the contractor sits in the Upstate. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Charleston Harbor and Columbia do not get published shares of $360,580,937.52. The join stays statewide. This packet does not split $360,580,937.52 by city, county, or named facility. 403 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

More rows, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $360,580,937.52 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in South Carolina confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

South Carolina’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 403-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 $360,580,937.52. Sharing a state with State Dept does not mean campaign donations funded these awards.

Citing State in South Carolina

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of State (agency 019) obligated $360,580,937.52 on 403 awards coded to South Carolina. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as consular appointments, port calls, or diplomatic staff.

Prefer Department of State in South Carolina if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. South Carolina federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to SC. Department of State is the 019 parent without the SC filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $360,580,937.52.

A usable footnote names Department of State, South Carolina, $360,580,937.52, and 403. The compact headline $360.6 million is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $894,742 is $360,580,937.52 divided by 403. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
