National Aeronautics and Space Administration obligations in California 12th District (CA-12)

National Aeronautics and Space Administration and California 12th District (CA-12) as a USAspending pair

Awarding agency 080 and congressional district CA-12 meet here. $650,966,580.51 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to California 12th District (CA-12), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split NASA centers, missions, or contract versus assistance instruments. 188 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a center census, a mission catalog, a launch manifest, or a named-contractor file.

Dividing $650,966,580.51 by 188 yields about $3,462,588.19 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 188 awards is a moderate NASA file. Same agency code as other NASA district joins, different geography, different share of this district’s own total. Do not treat CA-12’s 080 cell as a synonym for every NASA account nationwide. Open California 12th District for the district table without this agency filter, National Aeronautics and Space Administration for agency 080 without the CA-12 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 $650,966,580.51.

How USAspending labels National Aeronautics and Space Administration

USAspending labels awarding agency 080 as National Aeronautics and Space Administration. That code produced $650,966,580.51 when crossed with California 12th District (CA-12) place of performance. The agency-wide 080 hub does not require CA-12 geography. The district hub does not require NASA. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 188 awards. The packet does not split NASA centers, missions, or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: California 12th District (CA-12) did not “cause” $650,966,580.51 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 080 × CA-12 only. It is not a center census, a mission catalog, a launch manifest, or a named-contractor 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.

Geography is CA-12, not a facility map

California 12th District (CA-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 CA-12 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other California districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 080. California 12th District (CA-12) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside California. Other California districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 080. California 12th District (CA-12) is a numbered place-of-performance geography. Other awarding-agency codes on CA-12 live on other ties. This page is agency 080 only.

California federal spending shows how agency 080 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $650,966,580.51 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split California 12th District (CA-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 National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The district-wide obligation total published here is $23,541,852,476.74; $650,966,580.51 is the NASA slice of that denominator.

Commitment totals versus cash paid

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $650,966,580.51 is that kind of sum for National Aeronautics and Space Administration inside CA-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 $650,966,580.51 as given.

Keeping both sides of the 080 × CA-12 pair

Cite USAspending.gov: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (agency 080) obligated $650,966,580.51 on 188 awards coded to California 12th District (CA-12). Name National Aeronautics and Space Administration and California 12th District (CA-12) together. Keep the obligation word. If California 12th District or National Aeronautics and Space Administration has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a center census, a mission catalog, a launch manifest, or a named-contractor file. 2.8% of $23,541,852,476.74 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Share, mean, and what they are not

188 awards is a moderate NASA file. Same agency code as other NASA district joins, different geography, different share of this district’s own total. 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 $3,462,588.19) and the district share (2.8% of $23,541,852,476.74) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer California 12th District and National Aeronautics and Space Administration if the live tables moved.

Do not rank California 12th District (CA-12) as more NASA-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 080 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 080 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $650,966,580.51 and 188 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

Questions

How much NASA spending is coded to California 12th District (CA-12)?

USAspending.gov lists $650,966,580.51 in NASA (agency 080) obligations across 188 awards coded to California 12th District (CA-12). That pair is an obligation join, not an outlay and not California’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 2.8% of the district’s published total ($23,541,852,476.74). Unique recipients are unpublished.

Does $650,966,580.51 include every NASA program in CA-12?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split NASA centers, missions, or contract versus assistance instruments. $650,966,580.51 is the combined obligation sum for agency 080 inside CA-12 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. 188 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $650,966,580.51 cash already paid in California 12th District (CA-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 $650,966,580.51 as checks already cleared in California 12th District (CA-12) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 188 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

How does this NASA cell relate to California statewide spending?

California federal spending is the California statewide extract across awarding agencies. $650,966,580.51 is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration amount inside California 12th District (CA-12) only, not the statewide NASA total. Adding California federal spending to $650,966,580.51 double-counts. Agency 080 nationwide lives on National Aeronautics and Space Administration. This join is 080 × CA-12.
