Department of the Treasury federal obligations in District of Columbia

Treasury 020 in the District, not 014

Department of the Treasury as awarding agency, District of Columbia as place-of-performance: 3,285 records summing to $5,709,627,460.76. A Department of the Treasury award coded outside DC is out. An award in District of Columbia from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. District of Columbia (DC) excludes Maryland and Virginia. A Bethesda-coded award is Maryland even if the commute is the same.

Three thousand two hundred eighty-five awards is a mid-count 020 file. A separate SpendingVault page already covers Treasury agency 014 in the District; this packet is 020. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 3,285 as 3,285 unique individual tax refunds, named bureaus, or a nationwide Treasury budget. The overlay Department of the Treasury in District of Columbia is the both-keys table. District of Columbia federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of the Treasury is the agency book without a DC filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

The -2 slug marks this 020 snapshot. Do not add 014 and 020 together unless you document a new combined extract. Correlation is not causation: District of Columbia did not “cause” $5,709,627,460.76 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 020 × DC only.

Headquarters tagging is not a nationwide total

$5,709,627,460.76 does not measure individual tax refunds, named bureaus, or a nationwide Treasury budget. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 020 and a DC place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 3,285 awards as a census of individual tax refunds, named bureaus, or a nationwide Treasury budget. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If District of Columbia federal spending or Department of the Treasury matched $5,709,627,460.76 and 3,285, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Maryland and Virginia Treasury joins are other pairs, not addends.

The District is not Maryland or Virginia

Place of performance DC is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. District of Columbia (DC) excludes Maryland and Virginia. A Bethesda-coded award is Maryland even if the commute is the same. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

The -2 slug marks this 020 snapshot. Do not add 014 and 020 together unless you document a new combined extract. This packet does not split $5,709,627,460.76 by city, county, or named facility. 3,285 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Capital-city vehicles still record obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $5,709,627,460.76 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in District of Columbia confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

District of Columbia’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 3,285-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 $5,709,627,460.76.

Citing Treasury 020 in D.C.

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of the Treasury (agency 020) obligated $5,709,627,460.76 on 3,285 awards coded to District of Columbia. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as individual tax refunds, named bureaus, or a nationwide Treasury budget.

Prefer Department of the Treasury in District of Columbia if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. District of Columbia federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to DC. Department of the Treasury is the 020 parent without the DC filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $5,709,627,460.76.

A usable footnote names Department of the Treasury, District of Columbia, $5,709,627,460.76, and 3,285. The compact headline $5.71 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $1.74 million is $5,709,627,460.76 divided by 3,285. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

Is $5,709,627,460.76 a measure of individual tax refunds, named bureaus, or a nationwide Treasury budget?
