Department of the Treasury (020) federal obligations in Alaska

The Department of the Treasury shows $1,287,897,519.88 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Alaska, across 329 awards. Awarding-agency 020 and Alaska (AK) are the pair. Three hundred twenty-nine records against $1,287,897,519.88 is a thin-to-mid Treasury file. Fiscal vehicles can mint few rows with large dollars. The implied mean is about $3.91 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

Key figures

  • Treasury in Alaska: $1,287,897,519.88 across 329 USAspending awards.
  • Implied mean about $3.91 million per record — a packet quotient, not a typical project.
  • Agency 020 × AK is not a measure of individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses.
  • Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

Treasury awards tagged to Alaska

Department of the Treasury as awarding agency, Alaska as place-of-performance: 329 records summing to $1,287,897,519.88. A Department of the Treasury award coded outside AK is out. An award in Alaska from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Alaska (AK) is a distinct place-of-performance key. Washington, Oregon, and Hawaii Treasury rows are other cells.

Three hundred twenty-nine records against $1,287,897,519.88 is a thin-to-mid Treasury file. Fiscal vehicles can mint few rows with large dollars. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 329 as 329 unique individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. The overlay Department of the Treasury in Alaska is the both-keys table. Alaska federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of the Treasury is the agency book without an AK filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Agency code 020 is the awarding key. Population size is not a packet fact. Do not argue that Alaska punches above its weight. Correlation is not causation: Alaska did not cause $1,287,897,519.88 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 020 × AK only.

Refunds are a different series

$1,287,897,519.88 does not measure individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 020 and an AK place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 329 awards as a census of individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Alaska federal spending or Department of the Treasury matched $1,287,897,519.88 and 329, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Washington and Oregon Treasury joins are other pairs, not addends.

Alaska is not the lower 48

Place of performance AK is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Alaska (AK) is a distinct place-of-performance key. Washington, Oregon, and Hawaii Treasury rows are other cells. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Agency code 020 is the awarding key. Population size is not a packet fact. Do not argue that Alaska punches above its weight. This packet does not split $1,287,897,519.88 by city, county, or named facility. 329 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Thin-to-mid files still record obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,287,897,519.88 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Alaska confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Alaska’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 329-award 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 $1,287,897,519.88.

How to cite Treasury in Alaska

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of the Treasury (agency 020) obligated $1,287,897,519.88 on 329 awards coded to Alaska. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as individual tax refunds, taxpayer counts, or named IRS campuses.

Prefer Department of the Treasury in Alaska if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Alaska federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to AK. Department of the Treasury is the 020 parent without the AK filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,287,897,519.88.

A usable footnote names Department of the Treasury, Alaska, $1,287,897,519.88, and 329. The compact headline $1.29 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $3.91 million is $1,287,897,519.88 divided by 329. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
