GSA federal obligations in Michigan 12th District (MI-12)
Awarding agency 047 and Michigan 12th District (MI-12) meet at $611,627,403.33 in USAspending.gov obligations, spread across 8,406 awards. Eight thousand four hundred six GSA-coded awards cover about thirty-eight percent of MI-12's district obligation total — a large general-services column on a relatively small district denominator. That pair is General Services Administration and Michigan 12th District (MI-12) — not Michigan's entire federal inflow, not General Services Administration nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 37.6% of this district's published obligation total ($1,627,583,473.80). Implied average obligation is about $72,760.81 ($611,627,403.33 ÷ 8,406). Correlation is not causation.

Reading agency 047 inside MI-12
Awarding agency 047 and congressional district MI-12 meet here. $611,627,403.33 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 Michigan 12th District (MI-12), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split GSA schedules, leases, or contract versus assistance instruments. 8,406 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $611,627,403.33 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $1,627,583,473.80; the 37.6% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of Michigan 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 $611,627,403.33 when crossed with Michigan 12th District (MI-12) place of performance. The agency-wide 047 hub does not require MI-12 geography. The district hub does not require GSA. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 8,406 awards. The packet does not split GSA schedules, leases, or contract versus assistance instruments.
Correlation is not causation: Michigan 12th District (MI-12) did not cause $611,627,403.33 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 047 × MI-12 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 Michigan 12th District is coded
Michigan 12th District (MI-12) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list MI-12 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Michigan districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 047. Michigan 12th District (MI-12) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Michigan. Other Michigan districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 047. Michigan 12th District (MI-12) is not other Michigan districts that also carry GSA or NSF filters. Same awarding-agency code 047 on a different stamp is a different join.
Michigan federal spending shows how agency 047 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $611,627,403.33 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Michigan 12th District (MI-12) 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 $1,627,583,473.80; $611,627,403.33 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. $611,627,403.33 is that kind of sum for General Services Administration inside MI-12 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 $611,627,403.33 as given.
Michigan's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 8,406-row GSA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 8,406 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 ($72,760.81) is a concentration statistic, not a typical MI-12 GSA payment.
Parents of this tie: district, agency, state
Cite USAspending.gov: General Services Administration (agency 047) obligated $611,627,403.33 on 8,406 awards coded to Michigan 12th District (MI-12). Name General Services Administration and Michigan 12th District (MI-12) together. Keep the obligation word. If Michigan 12th 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. 37.6% of $1,627,583,473.80 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Keep General Services Administration, Michigan 12th District (MI-12), $611,627,403.33, and 8,406 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. General Services Administration is the 047 parent without a MI-12 filter. Michigan federal spending is the Michigan 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 MI-12 × 047 snapshot
8,406 rows is a thick GSA file: schedules, orders, and modifications multiply lines. The implied mean is pulled down by volume and is not a typical lease. Other Michigan districts can host GSA or NSF on their own ties. Those cells are not this join. 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 $72,760.81) and the district share (37.6% of $1,627,583,473.80) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Michigan 12th District and General Services Administration if the live tables moved.
Do not rank Michigan 12th District (MI-12) 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 $611,627,403.33 and 8,406 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 Michigan 12th District (MI-12)?
- USAspending.gov lists $611,627,403.33 in General Services Administration obligations across 8,406 awards with place of performance in Michigan 12th District (MI-12). Agency 047 × MI-12 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Michigan's complete federal ledger. The cell is 37.6% of the district's published total ($1,627,583,473.80). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $72,760.81, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does $611,627,403.33 include every GSA program in MI-12?
- The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split GSA schedules, leases, or contract versus assistance instruments. $611,627,403.33 is the combined obligation sum for agency 047 inside MI-12 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open General Services Administration and Michigan 12th District to inspect parent tables. 8,406 remains an action count, not a program count.
- Is $611,627,403.33 cash already paid in Michigan 12th District (MI-12)?
- 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 $611,627,403.33 as checks already cleared in Michigan 12th District (MI-12) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 8,406 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.
- Do FEC donations fund these GSA awards in MI-12?
- No. FEC receipts and USAspending obligations are different datasets. Sharing Michigan geography does not mean donations funded $611,627,403.33 in Michigan 12th District (MI-12). This page reports USAspending.gov awarding-agency 047 crossed with place of performance MI-12. It does not report campaign finance.
