General Services Administration federal obligations in Alabama 5th District (AL-05)

Alabama 5th District × GSA is a place-of-performance join, not a building census

This page pairs awarding-agency 047, General Services Administration, with Alabama 5th District (AL-05) place of performance. The join is awarding-agency 047 crossed with Alabama 5th District (AL-05) place of performance, not Alabama’s statewide facilities book and not a census of buildings. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $2,949,140,626.72 on 131 awards. The extract does not list buildings, leases, or vendor names. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which district has more need, and not a claim that 131 awards equal 131 buildings or 131 leases.

Other GSA district pairs on this slice — MD-05 and FL-14 — are other geography keys. Mixing those listings into $2,949,140,626.72 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and federal floor space is not causation. Square-footage figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as Alabama 5th District (AL-05) locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $2,949,140,626.72 in a district treasury. Huntsville-versus-north Alabama folklore is not a county split in this packet. A Huntsville federal-campus story is not a packet fact and does not explain the cell.

131 GSA awards behind the AL-05 obligation sum

Mean obligation is about $22,512,523.87 if $2,949,140,626.72 were divided evenly across 131 lines. That ratio is not a published lease rate and not a cost per building. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of buildings, leases, or vendors. The 131 rows are a mid-volume facilities file.

One hundred thirty-one lines are a mid-volume facilities file. Sort the Alabama 5th District overlay by amount to see concentration. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Alabama 5th District for the stored table. Do not convert 131 into a map of north Alabama federal buildings. The $2,949,140,626.72 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a building census.

Agency 047 obligations in AL-05 are not rent already paid

GSA awards often obligate as schedules, leases, or assisted-acquisition actions and draw as periods of performance proceed. The $2,949,140,626.72 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of rent already paid and not a Treasury outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. A GSA inventory of owned and leased space dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses agency 047, Alabama 5th District (AL-05) geography, and the obligation metric.

The awarding-agency title is General Services Administration (code 047). This extract does not split leases from schedules, and it does not split owned from leased space. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 131 awards, agency 047, and Alabama 5th District (AL-05). This page will not invent a share. This page will not invent schedule vendors as recipients.

What the AL-05 × agency 047 table omits

The extract has no buildings, leases, or vendor names. Facts remain $2,949,140,626.72, 131 awards, agency 047, and Alabama 5th District (AL-05). This page will not invent a ranking against other districts’ agency-047 joins. AL-05’s all-agency district total is far larger than this GSA cell; do not quote the cell as the district book.

Alabama federal spending and Alabama 5th District place agency 047 among other listings. General Services Administration is the national agency hub. All spending ties indexes other district × agency pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of federal spending the packet never computed. The $2,949,140,626.72 figure is the tagged pair only. Campaign-finance filings are a different public-record system; this join does not claim donations funded these obligations.

Where the GSA × Alabama 5th District overlay lives

Start with Alabama 5th District for the 131-award table behind $2,949,140,626.72. General Services Administration is the nationwide General Services Administration hub. Alabama federal spending gives Alabama context. All spending ties is the shelf for other district-by-agency joins on the same obligation metric. One hundred thirty-one awards totaling $2,949,140,626.72 remain a mid-volume awarding-agency file, not a building census. Building addresses and vendor UEIs are not in this packet. The $2,949,140,626.72 total is the tagged pair only. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join. If a later extract revises the rollup, this page’s facts will be stale until the packet is rebuilt. Do not annualize $2,949,140,626.72: no fiscal year is in the facts.

How to read the AL-05 × GSA pair

A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is awarding agency 047 (General Services Administration). The other is congressional-district place of performance as Alabama 5th District (AL-05). The headline $2,949,140,626.72 is the obligation sum on that intersection, about 3.0 percent of the district’s $98,271,183,994.60 all-agency obligation book. It is not a forecast, not a budget request, and not an outlay. It is also not a claim that General Services Administration caused Alabama 5th District (AL-05)’s economy to grow. Correlation between geography and an awarding-agency code is the join — nothing more. Use the internal links to step off this pair. If you need award-level names, open the overlay rather than treating this narrative as a recipient directory.
