Department of the Interior obligations in Washington 8th District (WA-08)

A place-of-performance join: Interior × WA-08

Awarding agency 014 and congressional district WA-08 meet here. $273,772,680.02 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 Washington 8th District (WA-08), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split Interior bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. 206 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a park census, a land-acreage inventory, or a named-contractor file.

Dividing $273,772,680.02 by 206 yields about $1,328,993.59 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 206 awards is a compact-to-moderate Interior file. The implied mean is a ratio of two packet facts, not a posted land-management invoice. Do not treat WA-08’s 014 cell as a synonym for every Interior account nationwide. Open Washington 8th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of the Interior for agency 014 without the WA-08 filter, Washington federal spending for every awarding agency in the Washington extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $273,772,680.02.

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 $273,772,680.02 when crossed with Washington 8th District (WA-08) place of performance. The agency-wide 014 hub does not require WA-08 geography. The district hub does not require Interior. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 206 awards. The packet does not split Interior bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Washington 8th District (WA-08) did not “cause” $273,772,680.02 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 014 × WA-08 only. It is not a park census, a land-acreage inventory, 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. $273,772,680.02 is that kind of sum for Department of the Interior inside WA-08 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 $273,772,680.02 as given.

Washington’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 206-row Interior cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 206 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 ($1,328,993.59) is a concentration statistic, not a typical WA-08 Interior payment.
