GSA federal obligations in California 34th District (CA-34)
Awarding agency 047 and California 34th District (CA-34) meet at $444,088,951.97 in USAspending.gov obligations, spread across 244 awards. Two hundred forty-four GSA-coded awards cover about eight percent of CA-34's district obligation total, a California general-services cell that is not California's Agriculture or Justice pairs. That pair is General Services Administration and California 34th District (CA-34) — not California's entire federal inflow, not General Services Administration nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 7.9% of this district's published obligation total ($5,593,584,063.74). Implied average obligation is about $1,820,036.69 ($444,088,951.97 ÷ 244). Correlation is not causation.

Reading agency 047 inside CA-34
Awarding agency 047 and congressional district CA-34 meet here. $444,088,951.97 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not General Services Administration's nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to California 34th District (CA-34), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split GSA schedules, leases, or contract versus assistance instruments. 244 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a federal building inventory, a lease catalog, or a named-vendor file.
This page reports general-services awarding activity USAspending tagged to this district. The headline $444,088,951.97 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $5,593,584,063.74; the 7.9% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of California districts as winners or losers. District 90 and 98 placeholders are omitted from this harvest. Obligations are not outlays.
Agency 047 without inventing a component pie
USAspending labels awarding agency 047 as General Services Administration. That code produced $444,088,951.97 when crossed with California 34th District (CA-34) place of performance. The agency-wide 047 hub does not require CA-34 geography. The district hub does not require GSA. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 244 awards. The packet does not split GSA schedules, leases, or contract versus assistance instruments.
Correlation is not causation: California 34th District (CA-34) did not cause $444,088,951.97 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 047 × CA-34 only. This cell is not a federal building inventory, a lease catalog, or a named-vendor file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.
How California 34th District is coded
California 34th District (CA-34) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list CA-34 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other California districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 047. California 34th District (CA-34) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside California. Other California districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 047. California 34th District (CA-34) is not other California districts that carry Agriculture or Justice filters. Same state, different awarding-agency codes.
California federal spending shows how agency 047 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $444,088,951.97 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split California 34th District (CA-34) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to General Services Administration. The district-wide obligation total published here is $5,593,584,063.74; $444,088,951.97 is the GSA slice of that denominator.
What the dollar figure is allowed to mean
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $444,088,951.97 is that kind of sum for General Services Administration inside CA-34 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $444,088,951.97 as given.
California's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 244-row GSA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 244 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($1,820,036.69) is a concentration statistic, not a typical CA-34 GSA payment.
Parents of this tie: district, agency, state
Cite USAspending.gov: General Services Administration (agency 047) obligated $444,088,951.97 on 244 awards coded to California 34th District (CA-34). Name General Services Administration and California 34th District (CA-34) together. Keep the obligation word. If California 34th District or General Services Administration has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a federal building inventory, a lease catalog, or a named-vendor file. 7.9% of $5,593,584,063.74 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Keep General Services Administration, California 34th District (CA-34), $444,088,951.97, and 244 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. General Services Administration is the 047 parent without a CA-34 filter. California federal spending is the California parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with GSA does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.
Limits of the CA-34 × 047 snapshot
244 awards is a mid-size GSA file. A compact GSA file and a mass-action GSA file on other geographies are not this cell. Other California districts can host Justice. Agency 015 is not agency 047. Do not mix those cells. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $1,820,036.69) and the district share (7.9% of $5,593,584,063.74) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer California 34th District and General Services Administration if the live tables moved.
Do not rank California 34th District (CA-34) as more GSA-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 047 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 047 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $444,088,951.97 and 244 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
Questions
- How much GSA spending is coded to California 34th District (CA-34)?
- USAspending.gov lists $444,088,951.97 in General Services Administration obligations across 244 awards with place of performance in California 34th District (CA-34). Agency 047 × CA-34 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not California's complete federal ledger. The cell is 7.9% of the district's published total ($5,593,584,063.74). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $1,820,036.69, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does $444,088,951.97 include every GSA program in CA-34?
- The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split GSA schedules, leases, or contract versus assistance instruments. $444,088,951.97 is the combined obligation sum for agency 047 inside CA-34 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open General Services Administration and California 34th District to inspect parent tables. 244 remains an action count, not a program count.
- Is $444,088,951.97 cash already paid in California 34th District (CA-34)?
- No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet's headline. Treating $444,088,951.97 as checks already cleared in California 34th District (CA-34) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 244 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.
- Do FEC donations fund these GSA awards in CA-34?
- No. FEC receipts and USAspending obligations are different datasets. Sharing California geography does not mean donations funded $444,088,951.97 in California 34th District (CA-34). This page reports USAspending.gov awarding-agency 047 crossed with place of performance CA-34. It does not report campaign finance. Keep General Services Administration and California 34th District (CA-34) on the same citation.
