Department of State federal obligations in Texas

Department of State dollars tagged to Texas

Department of State appears here as the awarding-agency label on a Texas overlay. The numeric agency key is 019. Readers who only remember the short name State still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $321,380,715.92. Gulf, border, and metro-corridor folklore does not substitute for those keys.

Treat 1,036 as a row count. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is why unique posts or vendors are not inferred from the count. The overlay table is the place to inspect instruments; this narrative stays with the two published facts.

Open Department of State in Texas for the filtered table, Texas federal spending for the next hub, Department of State for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

What $310,213.05 is and is not

If the overlay later shows many small modifications, the mean will look large relative to those rows. If it shows a handful of large actions, the mean will look closer to those actions. This file cannot choose between those readings because award type is unpublished.

Use Department of State in Texas when you need rows. Use this page when you need the join explained in prose. Both should keep the unit as obligations.

What dropping either filter does to the total

Houston, Dallas, and Austin are reader landmarks, not packet subtotals. The geography key is statewide Texas. Headquarters folklore about Houston does not move $321,380,715.92.

Do not add Oklahoma, Louisiana, New Mexico, or Arkansas into $321,380,715.92 by analogy. The extract is Texas only. Correlation is not causation.

What USAspending.gov is counting here

1,036 actions can include modifications that change a prior obligation. That is why a record count is not a unique-project census. Use Department of State in Texas for the live table.

De-obligations, if they exist in the underlying awards, are not broken out here. The packet gives one net-style obligation aggregate: $321,380,715.92.

What the join is not

Campaign-finance filings do not fund this USAspending cell. Department of State obligations in Texas and FEC receipts that mention similar words are separate public records. This page does not merge them.

If a headline needs a vendor, stop and open Department of State in Texas instead of extending this file. Inventing a recipient would break the packet contract.

A one-line caption that names both sides

A complete citation names Department of State, Texas, $321,380,715.92, 1,036, obligations, and USAspending.gov. Dropping the agency or the state turns the sentence into a different page.

All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $321,380,715.92. Department of State in Texas remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance Texas is statewide; it does not split Houston, Dallas, and Austin. Neighbor-coded activity in Oklahoma, Louisiana, New Mexico, or Arkansas stays out even if mail is handled in Houston. Correlation is not causation. Diplomatic, consular, and passport-support folklore can be a legitimate research question on another page. Here it is labeled folklore because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Gulf, border, and metro-corridor folklore is the same kind of reader path: useful for search, unused as math. Agency 019 on a different state's overlay is a sibling join, not a remainder that must add to a national State budget on this page. Texas's $321,380,715.92 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from Department of State and call the difference 'Texas versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none. Department of State is the awarding-agency label stored on the Texas overlay; the numeric key is 019. Readers who only remember the short name State still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $321,380,715.92. The 1,036 figure is not a count of unique posts or vendors and is not a count of distinct State programs. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $310,213.05 is not a typical diplomatic or passport-support award. Consular folklore does not split Houston from Dallas or Austin. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/tx/agencies/019/ and canonicalPath /ties/department-of-state-in-texas/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $321,380,715.92 or 1,036, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $321,380,715.92, 1,036 awards, agency 019, Department of State, Texas (TX), and the obligation unit.
