Department of State (072) federal obligations in Texas

Awarding-agency 072 meeting Texas

Department of State as awarding agency, Texas as place-of-performance: 13 records summing to $58,932,410.13. A Department of State award coded outside TX is out. An award in Texas from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Texas (TX) excludes Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and New Mexico. A Texarkana-coded award with an Arkansas place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

13 awards against $58,932,410.13 is a 13-award foreign-affairs file for agency 072, not a different State Dept code. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 13 as 13 unique visa counts, passport volumes, or named overseas posts. Department of State in Texas is the both-keys table. Texas federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of State is the agency book without an TX filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This slug is the Texas × agency-072 duplicate. Code 072 is the disambiguator. Shared display names do not merge 072 with 019. Correlation is not causation: Texas did not cause $58,932,410.13 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 072 × TX only. This slug is the Texas × agency-072 duplicate. Code 072 is the disambiguator. Shared display names do not merge 072 with a different Department of State code.

Department of State 072 is not code 019

$58,932,410.13 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 an TX place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 13 awards as a census of visa counts, passport volumes, or named overseas posts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Texas federal spending or Department of State matched $58,932,410.13 and 13, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state State Dept joins are other pairs, not addends.

Texas, not a border-only map

Place of performance TX is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Texas (TX) excludes Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and New Mexico. An El Paso-coded award with a New Mexico place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $58,932,410.13 by city, county, or named facility. 13 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Thirteen obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $58,932,410.13 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Texas confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Texas’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 13 awards 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 $58,932,410.13. Sharing a geography with Department of State does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing Department of State 072 in Texas

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of State (agency 072) obligated $58,932,410.13 on 13 awards coded to Texas. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as visa counts, passport volumes, or named overseas posts.

Prefer Department of State in Texas if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Texas federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to TX. Department of State is the 072 parent without the TX filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $58,932,410.13.

A usable footnote names Department of State, Texas, $58,932,410.13, and 13. The compact headline $58.9M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $4,533,262.32 is $58,932,410.13 divided by 13. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

A duplicate slug keyed to agency 072

Texas’s State Dept overlay is 13 awards totaling $58,932,410.13. This slug is the Texas × agency-072 duplicate. Code 072 is the disambiguator. Shared display names do not merge 072 with 019. Adding parent hubs into $58,932,410.13 would invent a combined Texas total. Keep 072 × TX as the pair. No fiscal year is published in this packet. Keep the obligation label on $58,932,410.13. Unique recipients stay unpublished.
