GSA obligations in Colorado 5th District (CO-05)

GSA obligations coded to Colorado 5th District (CO-05)

Awarding agency 047 and congressional district CO-05 meet here. $713,179,450.75 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 Colorado 5th District (CO-05), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split GSA schedules, leases, or contract versus assistance instruments. 7,419 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $713,179,450.75 by 7,419 yields about $96,128.78 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 7,419 awards is a thick GSA file. Orders and modifications multiply lines. The implied mean is pulled down by volume and is not a typical lease. Do not treat CO-05’s 047 cell as a synonym for every GSA account nationwide. Open Colorado 5th District for the district table without this agency filter, General Services Administration for agency 047 without a CO-05 filter, Colorado federal spending for every awarding agency in the Colorado extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $713,179,450.75.

What GSA contributes to this pair

USAspending labels awarding agency 047 as General Services Administration. That code produced $713,179,450.75 when crossed with Colorado 5th District (CO-05) place of performance. The agency-wide 047 hub does not require CO-05 geography. The district hub does not require GSA. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 7,419 awards. The packet does not split GSA schedules, leases, or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Colorado 5th District (CO-05) did not “cause” $713,179,450.75 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 047 × CO-05 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.

District geography versus Colorado statewide totals

Colorado 5th District (CO-05) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list CO-05 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Colorado districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 047. Colorado 5th District (CO-05) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Colorado. Other Colorado districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 047. Colorado 5th District (CO-05) is not CO-01 or CO-03. Agency 047 is General Services Administration, not Commerce and not Transportation.

Colorado federal spending shows how agency 047 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $713,179,450.75 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Colorado 5th District (CO-05) 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 $24,267,357,419.95; $713,179,450.75 is the GSA slice of that denominator.

Why this is not an outlay register

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $713,179,450.75 is that kind of sum for General Services Administration inside CO-05 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 $713,179,450.75 as given.

Colorado’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 7,419-row GSA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 7,419 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 ($96,128.78) is a concentration statistic, not a typical CO-05 GSA payment.

Keep General Services Administration, Colorado 5th District (CO-05), $713,179,450.75, and 7,419 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. General Services Administration is the 047 parent without a CO-05 filter. Colorado federal spending is the Colorado 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.

What this packet refuses to infer

7,419 awards is a thick GSA file. Orders and modifications multiply lines. The implied mean is pulled down by volume and is not a typical lease. 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 $96,128.78) and the district share (2.9% of $24,267,357,419.95) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Colorado 5th District and General Services Administration if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Colorado 5th District (CO-05) 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 $713,179,450.75 and 7,419 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 Colorado 5th District (CO-05)?

USAspending.gov lists $713,179,450.75 in General Services Administration obligations across 7,419 awards with place of performance in Colorado 5th District (CO-05). Agency 047 × CO-05 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Colorado’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 2.9% of the district’s published total ($24,267,357,419.95). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $96,128.78, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $713,179,450.75 include every GSA program in CO-05?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split GSA schedules, leases, or contract versus assistance instruments. $713,179,450.75 is the combined obligation sum for agency 047 inside CO-05 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open General Services Administration and Colorado 5th District to inspect parent tables. 7,419 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $713,179,450.75 cash already paid in Colorado 5th District (CO-05)?

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 $713,179,450.75 as checks already cleared in Colorado 5th District (CO-05) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 7,419 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

What share of CO-05 obligations is agency 047?

Agency 047 accounts for 2.9% of $24,267,357,419.95 in district-wide obligations on this packet. That share is $713,179,450.75 ÷ $24,267,357,419.95. It is not a ranking of Colorado districts and not an outlay share. Other awarding agencies occupy the remaining district total on other ties.
