GSA obligations in California 36th District (CA-36)

The California 36th District (CA-36) filter on GSA

Awarding agency 047 and congressional district CA-36 meet here. $728,564,446.22 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 36th District (CA-36), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split GSA schedules, leases, or contract versus assistance instruments. 88 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a federal building inventory, a lease catalog, or a named-vendor file.

Dividing $728,564,446.22 by 88 yields about $8,279,141.43 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 88 awards is a compact GSA file against a huge district book. A seven-hundred-million-dollar GSA cell can still be a small share of that denominator. Do not treat CA-36’s 047 cell as a synonym for every GSA account nationwide. Open California 36th District for the district table without this agency filter, General Services Administration for agency 047 without a CA-36 filter, California federal spending for every awarding agency in the California extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $728,564,446.22.

The General Services Administration awarding-agency rollup

USAspending labels awarding agency 047 as General Services Administration. That code produced $728,564,446.22 when crossed with California 36th District (CA-36) place of performance. The agency-wide 047 hub does not require CA-36 geography. The district hub does not require GSA. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 88 awards. The packet does not split GSA schedules, leases, or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: California 36th District (CA-36) did not “cause” $728,564,446.22 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 047 × CA-36 only. It 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.

Reading the CA-36 stamp

California 36th District (CA-36) 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-36 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other California districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 047. California 36th District (CA-36) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside California. Other California districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 047. California 36th District (CA-36) is a numbered place-of-performance stamp. CA-46, CA-11, and CA-28 carry HUD joins, not GSA. Do not mix those California pairs.

California federal spending shows how agency 047 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $728,564,446.22 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split California 36th District (CA-36) 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 $43,332,669,736.78; $728,564,446.22 is the GSA slice of that denominator.

USAspending obligations on this pair

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $728,564,446.22 is that kind of sum for General Services Administration inside CA-36 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 $728,564,446.22 as given.

California’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 88-row GSA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 88 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 ($8,279,141.43) is a concentration statistic, not a typical CA-36 GSA payment.

Row count versus dollar concentration

88 awards is a compact GSA file against a huge district book. A seven-hundred-million-dollar GSA cell can still be a small share of that denominator. 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 $8,279,141.43) and the district share (1.7% of $43,332,669,736.78) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer California 36th District and General Services Administration if the live tables moved.

Questions

How much GSA spending is coded to California 36th District (CA-36)?

USAspending.gov lists $728,564,446.22 in General Services Administration obligations across 88 awards with place of performance in California 36th District (CA-36). Agency 047 × CA-36 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not California’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 1.7% of the district’s published total ($43,332,669,736.78). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $8,279,141.43, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $728,564,446.22 include every GSA program in CA-36?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split GSA schedules, leases, or contract versus assistance instruments. $728,564,446.22 is the combined obligation sum for agency 047 inside CA-36 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open General Services Administration and California 36th District to inspect parent tables. 88 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $728,564,446.22 cash already paid in California 36th District (CA-36)?

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 $728,564,446.22 as checks already cleared in California 36th District (CA-36) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 88 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

Why is the implied average $8,279,141.43 not a typical award?

The average is $728,564,446.22 divided by 88 awards, about $8,279,141.43. Thick files pull the mean down; thin files pull it up. Neither case publishes a typical instrument. Modifications add rows. Recipients are unpublished. Use the ratio only as a concentration statistic.
