Department of State federal obligations in Washington

Awarding-agency 019 meeting Washington state

Department of State as awarding agency, Washington as place-of-performance: 93 records summing to $174,851,094.17. A Department of State award coded outside WA is out. An award in Washington from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Washington (WA) excludes Oregon, Idaho, and the District of Columbia. Place of performance WA is the state key, not a Foggy Bottom catchment.

Ninety-three awards against $174,851,094.17 is a compact foreign-affairs file on agency 019, not the 072 duplicate that uses a different awarding code. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 93 as 93 unique visa counts, passport volumes, or named overseas posts. Department of State in Washington is the both-keys table. Washington federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of State is the agency book without a WA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Passport volume is not a packet field

$174,851,094.17 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 019 and a WA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 93 awards as a census of visa counts, passport volumes, or named overseas posts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Washington federal spending or Department of State matched $174,851,094.17 and 93, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Oregon, Idaho, and Arizona State Dept 019 joins are other pairs, not addends.

Washington state, not the District of Columbia

Place of performance WA is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Washington (WA) excludes Oregon, Idaho, and the District of Columbia. Place of performance WA is the state key, not a Foggy Bottom catchment. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $174,851,094.17 by city, county, or named facility. 93 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Ninety-three foreign-affairs rows still record obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $174,851,094.17 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Washington confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Citing State Dept 019 × Washington

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of State (agency 019) obligated $174,851,094.17 on 93 awards coded to Washington. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as visa counts, passport volumes, or named overseas posts.

Prefer Department of State in Washington if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Washington federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to WA. Department of State is the 019 parent without the WA filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $174,851,094.17.

A usable footnote names Department of State, Washington, $174,851,094.17, and 93. The compact headline $174.9M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $1.88 million is $174,851,094.17 divided by 93. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system. Post names, visa counts, and contractor identities are unpublished on this packet.

What State Dept × Washington is not

The pair is Department of State and Washington, not visa counts, passport volumes, or named overseas posts. Post names, visa counts, and contractor identities are unpublished on this packet. FEC contribution tables are a different public-record system; donations do not fund these USAspending obligations even when they share a geography. Keep the citation narrow: agency 019, place-of-performance WA, $174,851,094.17, 93 awards, obligations only.

Ninety-three awards against $174,851,094.17 is a compact foreign-affairs file on agency 019, not the 072 duplicate that uses a different awarding code. On this join the implied mean near $1.88 million should not be treated as a typical award size. Without a distribution, $174,851,094.17 can be dominated by a few rows even when 93 is large, or by those same few rows when 93 is small. This page will not pretend to know which pattern holds. It keeps repeating the two facts and the two keys: Department of State (019) and Washington (WA). Place of performance still does not mean every dollar was disbursed locally. Obligations still do not mean outlays. Do not merge this WA × 019 cell with the Washington-2 overlay on agency 072. Shared display names do not merge 019 with 072. Seattle and Spokane folklore is unpublished. Post names, visa counts, and contractor identities are unpublished on this packet.
