National Aeronautics and Space Administration federal obligations in California 16th District (CA-16)

California 16th District × NASA is a place-of-performance join, not a lab census

This page pairs awarding-agency 080, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, with California 16th District (CA-16) place of performance. The join is awarding-agency 080 crossed with California 16th District (CA-16) place of performance, not California’s statewide NASA book and not a census of labs. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $2,099,903,313.67 on 291 awards. The extract does not list labs, contractors, or mission names. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which district has more need, and not a claim that 291 awards equal 291 labs or 291 contractors.

NASA on agency 080 in California 43rd District and HUD on 086 in California 34th District on this slice are other pairs. Mixing those listings into $2,099,903,313.67 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and aerospace employment is not causation. Payroll figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as California 16th District (CA-16) locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $2,099,903,313.67 in a district treasury. Silicon Valley folklore is not a city split in this packet. A Bay Area research-campus story is not a packet fact and does not explain the cell.

291 NASA awards behind the CA-16 obligation sum

Mean obligation is about $7,216,162.59 if $2,099,903,313.67 were divided evenly across 291 lines. That ratio is not a published center budget and not a cost per instrument. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of labs, instruments, or civil servants. The 291 rows are a mid-volume civilian science file.

Two hundred ninety-one lines are a mid-volume agency file. Sort the California 16th District overlay by amount to see concentration. This page will not invent recipient names. Open California 16th District for the stored table. Do not convert 291 into a map of Bay Area NASA sites. The $2,099,903,313.67 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a laboratory census.

Agency 080 obligations in CA-16 are not instruments already delivered

NASA awards often obligate as contracts or grants and draw as project years proceed. The $2,099,903,313.67 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of instruments delivered and not a Treasury outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. A NASA operating plan dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses agency 080, California 16th District (CA-16) geography, and the obligation metric.

The awarding-agency title is National Aeronautics and Space Administration (code 080). This extract does not split aeronautics from science, and it does not split primes from subs. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 291 awards, agency 080, and California 16th District (CA-16). This page will not invent a share. CA-34’s HUD overlay on this slice uses agency 086, not 080.

What the CA-16 × agency 080 table omits

The extract has no labs, contractors, or mission names. Facts remain $2,099,903,313.67, 291 awards, agency 080, and California 16th District (CA-16). This page will not invent a ranking against other districts’ agency-080 joins. CA-43’s NASA pair on this slice uses the same agency code and a different district tag.

California federal spending and California 16th District place agency 080 among other listings. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the national agency hub. All spending ties indexes other district × agency pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of federal spending the packet never computed. The $2,099,903,313.67 figure is the tagged pair only. Campaign-finance filings are a different public-record system; this join does not claim donations funded these obligations.

Where the NASA × California 16th District overlay lives

Start with California 16th District for the 291-award table behind $2,099,903,313.67. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the nationwide National Aeronautics and Space Administration hub. California federal spending gives California context. All spending ties is the shelf for other district-by-agency joins on the same obligation metric. Two hundred ninety-one awards totaling $2,099,903,313.67 remain a mid-volume awarding-agency file, not a lab census. Facility names and contractor UEIs are not in this packet. The $2,099,903,313.67 total is the tagged pair only. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join. If a later extract revises the rollup, this page’s facts will be stale until the packet is rebuilt. Do not annualize $2,099,903,313.67: no fiscal year is in the facts.

How to read the CA-16 × NASA pair

A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is awarding agency 080 (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). The other is congressional-district place of performance as California 16th District (CA-16). The headline $2,099,903,313.67 is the obligation sum on that intersection, about 9.4 percent of the district’s $22,416,065,895.60 all-agency obligation book. It is not a forecast, not a budget request, and not an outlay. It is also not a claim that National Aeronautics and Space Administration caused California 16th District (CA-16)’s economy to grow. Correlation between geography and an awarding-agency code is the join — nothing more. Use the internal links to step off this pair. If you need award-level names, open the overlay rather than treating this narrative as a recipient directory.

Questions

How much NASA funding is obligated in California 16th District (CA-16)?

USAspending.gov shows $2,099,903,313.67 in obligations for National Aeronautics and Space Administration (agency 080) with California 16th District (CA-16) as place of performance, across 291 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not California 16th District (CA-16)’s full federal book. Other agencies tagged to CA-16 sit on separate pages.

Do 291 awards mean 291 NASA labs in CA-16?

No. Award count is a row count of USAspending actions and can include continuations and modifications. It is not a lab or contractor census. The packet does not name recipients. See the California 16th District overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Does this include NASA awards in California 43rd District?

No. The join is agency 080 crossed with California 16th District (CA-16) place of performance. CA-43’s NASA pair is a separate geography key. Those dollars are not inside $2,099,903,313.67 unless the award also carries CA-16 geography.

Is the NASA total in CA-16 already spent on instruments?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $2,099,903,313.67 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Delivery schedules and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
