Government Accountability Office federal obligations in District of Columbia

Both keys, one total: 005 and DC

Drop the District of Columbia filter and $54,457,046.40 is no longer this page. Drop the Government Accountability Office filter and $54,457,046.40 is no longer this page. The join is the product of both keys on USAspending.gov. A Government Accountability Office award coded outside DC is out. An award in District of Columbia from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. District of Columbia (DC) excludes Maryland and Virginia.

287 award actions sit under $54,457,046.40. That count is a mid-size award list, not a handful of flagship vehicles and not a mass-action file. It is not a roster of grantees. Treating the cell as a nationwide audit-budget scorecard or a list of named contractors over-reads the extract. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors.

A mean of $189,745.81 without a distribution

Arithmetic is allowed: $54,457,046.40 ÷ 287 ≈ $189,745.81. Interpretation as a typical Accountability Office award is not allowed, because the packet has no median, no quartiles, and no award-type split. The 287 figure is not a count of distinct programs.

Capitol hill, the federal triangle, and southwest waterfront offices may be reader landmarks, not published subtotals. DC place of performance is a jurisdiction tag, not a building-by-building census of legislative offices. Those place names are folklore paths for search, unused as math.

District of Columbia federal spending is the wider state book

District of Columbia federal spending includes every awarding agency tagged to District of Columbia.

Sibling overlays for agency 005 in other states are not remainders of this cell. This packet has no national Accountability Office total to subtract from. Do not subtract $54,457,046.40 from Government Accountability Office and call the difference 'District of Columbia versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none.

What the source note actually says

USAspending.gov aggregate of federal obligations by state and awarding agency. Obligations are not outlays. That sentence is the unit rule for every reuse of this page.

No fiscal year is in the facts. Inventing one would be a packet violation. Keep $54,457,046.40 unlabeled by FY until a later extract supplies one. Citing $54,457,046.40 as cash already sent in District of Columbia confuses obligations with outlays.

District of Columbia outcomes are not proven by $54,457,046.40

Correlation is not causation. $54,457,046.40 does not prove that Government Accountability Office activity caused District of Columbia economic results, and District of Columbia results do not prove why the cell equals $54,457,046.40.

FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Keep campaign-finance files on their own site. Keep $54,457,046.40 on USAspending.gov. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts.

Place-of-performance District of Columbia is statewide; DC place of performance is a jurisdiction tag, not a building-by-building census of legislative offices. Neighbor-coded activity in Maryland and Virginia stays out. Correlation is not causation. Treating the join as a nationwide audit-budget scorecard or a list of named contractors is labeled folklore here because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Capitol hill, the federal triangle, and southwest waterfront offices folklore is the same kind of reader path: useful for search, unused as math. Agency 005 on a different state's overlay is a sibling join, not a remainder that must add to a national Accountability Office budget on this page. District of Columbia's $54,457,046.40 cell stands alone. Government Accountability Office is the awarding-agency label stored on the District of Columbia overlay; the numeric key is 005. Readers who only remember the short name Accountability Office still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $54,457,046.40. The 287 figure is not a count of grantees and is not a count of distinct programs. That is another reason the mean of about $189,745.81 is not a typical Accountability Office award. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/dc/agencies/005/ and canonicalPath /ties/government-accountability-office-in-district-of-columbia/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $54,457,046.40 or 287, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $54,457,046.40, 287 awards, agency 005, Government Accountability Office, District of Columbia (DC), and the obligation unit. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $54,457,046.40. Government Accountability Office in District of Columbia remains the place to verify the live rows. Repeat the pair before any reuse: Government Accountability Office in District of Columbia. Repeat the source: USAspending.gov. Repeat the unit: obligations, not outlays. The overlay path /states/dc/agencies/005/ and the canonical path /ties/government-accountability-office-in-district-of-columbia/ describe the same join. Internal links stay limited to the four packet hrefs. No other URL is added. No recipient, contractor, or donor name is invented to fill space. The facts remain the dollar total, the award count, the agency code, the agency name, the state name, and the state code.
