Department of the Treasury federal obligations in Alaska

Treasury awards tagged to Alaska

Department of the Treasury as awarding agency, Alaska as place-of-performance: 4,638 records summing to $2,964,577,468.84. 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. Montana’s Treasury join in this slice is a different geography entirely.

Four thousand six hundred thirty-eight awards against $2,964,577,468.84 is a mid-thick Treasury file, not a handful of fiscal vehicles. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 4,638 as 4,638 unique individual tax refunds, unique taxpayers, or named IRS campuses. 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.

Permanent Fund folklore is a state series, not USAspending. Do not mix it into $2,964,577,468.84. Agency 014 is Treasury, not FCC 027, which also has an Alaska join here. Correlation is not causation: Alaska did not cause $2,964,577,468.84 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 014 × AK only. Campaign contributions do not fund these USAspending awards.

Refunds and PFD folklore are different series

$2,964,577,468.84 does not measure individual tax refunds, unique taxpayers, or named IRS campuses. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 014 and an AK place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 4,638 awards as a census of individual tax refunds, unique taxpayers, or named IRS campuses. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Alaska federal spending or Department of the Treasury matched $2,964,577,468.84 and 4,638, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Washington and Montana 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. Montana’s Treasury join in this slice is a different geography entirely. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Permanent Fund folklore is a state series, not USAspending. Do not mix it into $2,964,577,468.84. Agency 014 is Treasury, not FCC 027, which also has an Alaska join here. This packet does not split $2,964,577,468.84 by city, county, or named facility. 4,638 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Fiscal vehicles versus cash already paid

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $2,964,577,468.84 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 4,638-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 $2,964,577,468.84. The compact headline $2.96 billion is that same dollar total rounded, not a second extract.

Citing Treasury in Alaska

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of the Treasury (agency 014) obligated $2,964,577,468.84 on 4,638 awards coded to Alaska. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as individual tax refunds, unique taxpayers, 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 014 parent without the AK filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,964,577,468.84. The implied mean near $639,193 is $2,964,577,468.84 divided by 4,638. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
