Department of Transportation in Oklahoma 3rd District (OK-03)

What the Transportation–OK-03 join is

Agency 069 and Oklahoma 3rd District (OK-03) meet in one place-of-performance cell. $1,346,653,276.83 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum tagged to that pair. It is not the district's full $8,703,263,954.91 book, not every Transportation dollar in Oklahoma, and not an outlay. The Oklahoma 3rd District hub still lists other awarding agencies; the Department of Transportation hub still lists other districts. Only this intersection is reported here.

Surface-transportation speech often names highways, bridges, transit, and aviation in one breath. This packet does not split $1,346,653,276.83 among those modes, name primes, or count projects. A reader who assigns the cell to a single grant program or a single vendor adds a label the facts do not carry. Correlation with infrastructure news is not causation.

OK-03's district book beside agency 069

15.5% of $8,703,263,954.91 is tagged to Department of Transportation in this extract. The remainder sits on other awarding-agency rows for the same district. Adding those rows back into $1,346,653,276.83 would double-count. The Oklahoma 3rd District page at /districts/OK-03/ is the parent without an agency-069 filter.

Department of Transportation at /agencies/069/ is the parent without an OK-03 filter. Oklahoma federal spending at /states/ok/ drops the district cut. Do not treat $1,346,653,276.83 as statewide Transportation obligations. All spending ties at /ties/ indexes other district–agency pairs. Obligations remain commitments, not checks cleared.

1,293 award records are not a contractor census

1,293 is the award-record count published with this Department of Transportation × OK-03 cell, not a count of unique vendors and not a project inventory. Dividing $1,346,653,276.83 by 1,293 would invent a typical invoice the packet never computed. Modifications and multi-year vehicles can add lines without adding recipients. Named contractors are unpublished.

What the Transportation OK-03 table omits

No outlays, no mode split, no NAICS mix, no named primes. Campaign donations recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell. Place of performance is a geography tag, not proof that headquarters sit in OK-03. District 90/98 placeholders are omitted from this extract. Keep agency 069 and Oklahoma 3rd District on the same citation as $1,346,653,276.83.
