Interior obligations in New Mexico 2nd District (NM-02)

A place-of-performance join: Interior × NM-02

Awarding agency 014 and congressional district NM-02 meet here. $831,867,963.16 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of the Interior’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to New Mexico 2nd District (NM-02), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split Interior bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. 554 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a park census, a tribal roster, or a named-contractor file.

Dividing $831,867,963.16 by 554 yields about $1,501,566.72 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 554 awards is a thicker Interior file than OK-02’s 406, with a lower share of its own district total. Same agency code, different geography. Do not treat NM-02’s 014 cell as a synonym for every Interior account nationwide. Open New Mexico 2nd District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of the Interior for agency 014 without a NM-02 filter, New Mexico federal spending for every awarding agency in the New Mexico extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $831,867,963.16.

Department of the Interior as awarding agency, not as a named-vendor list

USAspending labels awarding agency 014 as Department of the Interior. That code produced $831,867,963.16 when crossed with New Mexico 2nd District (NM-02) place of performance. The agency-wide 014 hub does not require NM-02 geography. The district hub does not require Interior. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 554 awards. The packet does not split Interior bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: New Mexico 2nd District (NM-02) did not “cause” $831,867,963.16 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 014 × NM-02 only. It is not a park census, a tribal roster, or a named-contractor file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

Obligation math for this join

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $831,867,963.16 is that kind of sum for Department of the Interior inside NM-02 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $831,867,963.16 as given.

New Mexico’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 554-row Interior cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 554 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($1,501,566.72) is a concentration statistic, not a typical NM-02 Interior payment.

Using 7.1% and $1,501,566.72 without overclaiming

554 awards is a thicker Interior file than OK-02’s 406, with a lower share of its own district total. Same agency code, different geography. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $1,501,566.72) and the district share (7.1% of $11,704,536,221.40) are ratios of packet facts.

All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
