Department of State federal obligations in Vermont

Awarding-agency 072 overlapping Vermont

Department of State as awarding agency, Vermont as place-of-performance: 10 records summing to $60,017,094.71. A Department of State award coded outside VT is out. An award in Vermont from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Vermont (VT) excludes New York, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. A Burlington-coded award with a New York place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

10 awards against $60,017,094.71 is a 10-award foreign-affairs file, small in record count against a $60 million cell. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 10 as 10 unique visa counts, passport volumes, or named overseas posts. Department of State in Vermont is the both-keys table. Vermont federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of State is the agency book without an VT filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Named overseas posts and passport volumes stay unpublished. This Vermont overlay is not a -2 duplicate slug. Correlation is not causation: Vermont did not cause $60,017,094.71 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 072 × VT only.

State Dept is not a visa census

$60,017,094.71 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 VT place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 10 awards as a census of visa counts, passport volumes, or named overseas posts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Vermont federal spending or Department of State matched $60,017,094.71 and 10, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state State Dept joins are other pairs, not addends.

Vermont, not a Burlington-only tag

Place of performance VT is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Vermont (VT) excludes New York, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. A Brattleboro-coded award with a New Hampshire place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $60,017,094.71 by city, county, or named facility. 10 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Ten obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $60,017,094.71 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Vermont confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Vermont’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 10 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 $60,017,094.71. Sharing a geography with Department of State does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing Department of State in Vermont

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of State (agency 072) obligated $60,017,094.71 on 10 awards coded to Vermont. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as visa counts, passport volumes, or named overseas posts.

Prefer Department of State in Vermont if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Vermont federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to VT. Department of State is the 072 parent without the VT filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $60,017,094.71.

A usable footnote names Department of State, Vermont, $60,017,094.71, and 10. The compact headline $60.0M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $6,001,709.47 is $60,017,094.71 divided by 10. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

A compact foreign-affairs cell

Vermont’s State Dept overlay is 10 awards totaling $60,017,094.71. Named overseas posts and passport volumes stay unpublished. This Vermont overlay is not a -2 duplicate slug. Adding parent hubs into $60,017,094.71 would invent a combined Vermont total. Keep 072 × VT as the pair. No fiscal year is published in this packet. Keep the obligation label on $60,017,094.71. Unique recipients stay unpublished.
