NASA awards tagged to Alabama
National Aeronautics and Space Administration as awarding agency, Alabama as place-of-performance: 1,091 records summing to $21,375,786,997.22. A NASA award in Texas is a different cell. A Defense missile award in Alabama sits under agency 097, not 080.
The implied mean is about $19.6 million per award. Center-management and propulsion vehicles can share a 1,091-row file. This packet does not itemize programs.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Alabama is the overlay. Alabama federal spending is the all-agency state hub. All spending ties lists other pairs. One thousand ninety-one NASA records in Alabama are not a Marshall ledger. $21,375,786,997.22 is the obligation sum for agency 080 inside AL coding. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Alabama does not include Army missile awards under other agency codes even when Huntsville geography overlaps in ordinary speech.
Unnamed Huntsville geography
Marshall Space Flight Center and named propulsion campuses are not packet facts. This page does not assign $21,375,786,997.22 to a named Huntsville site. Place-of-performance on NASA awards often follows center geography, and 1,091 rows can be dominated by a few vehicles.
Rocket test counts and SLS milestones are not USAspending fields. $21,375,786,997.22 does not grade propulsion work. It sums obligations. Alabama did not cause the cell by hosting a center. The join is 080 × AL. Correlation is not causation. Rocket-test stories attach easily. Test counts are not packet facts. Linking $21,375,786,997.22 to a named vehicle is a new extract. Alabama federal spending still includes every other awarding agency.
Multi-year propulsion vehicles
Center and hardware contracts often obligate ahead of outlays. $21,375,786,997.22 can include amounts still unpaid. Citing it as cash already spent in Alabama misreads the award file.
Montgomery’s budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with 1,091 NASA awards leaves USAspending.gov. Alabama NASA’s 1,091 records are not a Marshall ledger. $21,375,786,997.22 is agency 080 inside AL coding. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Alabama does not include Army missile awards under other codes even when geography overlaps in ordinary speech. Rocket-test counts are unpublished. The implied mean near $19.6 million is a thin-file ratio.
Statewide AL, not a Huntsville map
This packet does not split $21,375,786,997.22 by metro. 1,091 awards stay statewide. A center-perimeter table would be a different extract.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the 080 hub without an Alabama filter. Use it for the agency book. On a 1,091-row file, one large modification can move the mean.
