Department of the Treasury (020) federal obligations in Colorado
USAspending.gov records $820,921,964.14 in Department of the Treasury obligations coded to agency 020 with Colorado place of performance, across 514 awards. That pair is an awarding-agency filter crossed with a geography filter, not a national Treasury budget. Average obligation per award is about $1,597,124.44 — a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical Treasury contract. Agency 020 is the disambiguator on this slug. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

What the Treasury 020–Colorado join is
Awarding agency 020 and place-of-performance state CO meet here. $820,921,964.14 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of the Treasury's nationwide budget, not Colorado's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. Denver, Colorado Springs, and Boulder folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not packet NAICS and not a census of IRS campuses, unique fiscal-service sites, or a census of refunds.
514 award actions sit behind that dollar figure. Five hundred fourteen awards sit behind $820,921,964.14. That row count can mix large instruments with smaller modifications. The join does not rank Colorado against other states and does not name recipients inside the extract. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 514 as 514 unique IRS campuses, unique fiscal-service sites, or a census of refunds.
Open Department of the Treasury in Colorado for the filtered table, Colorado federal spending for the next hub, Department of the Treasury for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs. Treasury components under awarding-agency 020 can share the code without a published bureau pie. Correlation is not causation: Colorado did not cause $820,921,964.14 by existing as a large or small place.
514 Treasury 020 actions under one Colorado filter
Dividing $820,921,964.14 by 514 yields about $1,597,124.44 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical Treasury line. A second Treasury slice on another state can use a different agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Colorado's 020 total as a synonym for every Treasury bureau account.
Denver, Colorado Springs, and Boulder folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Agency names and recipient rows live on the overlay table, not in this narrative's extra columns. $820,921,964.14 does not measure IRS campuses, unique fiscal-service sites, or a census of refunds. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate.
Agency 020 without a Colorado overlay is a different total
The agency-wide Department of the Treasury page aggregates 020 without requiring CO geography. The Colorado federal spending page aggregates all agencies with Colorado place of performance. Only Department of the Treasury in Colorado applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 514 awards and $820,921,964.14.
Place of performance in Colorado is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list CO while later work occurs in Wyoming. A Cheyenne-coded award is Wyoming even if the Front Range story sounds similar. This packet does not split Denver, Colorado Springs, and Boulder. 514 awards stay statewide.
Obligations, not outlays
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $820,921,964.14 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as money already spent in Colorado over-reads the field. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one.
Award count 514 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use the Department of the Treasury in Colorado overlay. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug. Keep the obligation label on $820,921,964.14.
What this pair does not prove
A large Treasury total in Colorado does not mean the agency caused Colorado's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between Colorado geography and Treasury awards is expected; it is not a finding about IRS campuses, unique fiscal-service sites, or a census of refunds or waste.
Keep $820,921,964.14 labeled as agency 020 obligations with Colorado place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. An agency name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending.
How to cite the Colorado–Treasury 020 pair
A clean footnote names awarding agency 020 (Department of the Treasury), Colorado place of performance, $820,921,964.14 in obligations, and 514 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $820,921,964.14 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $1,597,124.44 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical Treasury contract.
Department of the Treasury in Colorado, Colorado federal spending, Department of the Treasury, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $820,921,964.14 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Denver, Colorado Springs, and Boulder folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Recipient names belong on the overlay if they appear; they are not extra packet dollars. Keep the obligation label in every reuse. Correlation is not causation.
