National Aeronautics and Space Administration obligations in California 36th District (CA-36)

A place-of-performance join: NASA × CA-36

Awarding agency 080 and congressional district CA-36 meet here. $7,216,244,737.06 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 36th District (CA-36), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split NASA centers, missions, or contract versus assistance instruments. 306 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $7,216,244,737.06 by 306 yields about $23,582,499.14 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 306 awards is a moderate NASA file. Share near seventeen percent leaves most of CA-36’s published district total in other awarding agencies. Do not treat CA-36’s 080 cell as a synonym for every NASA account nationwide. Open California 36th District for the district table without this agency filter, National Aeronautics and Space Administration for agency 080 without the CA-36 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 $7,216,244,737.06.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration as awarding agency, not as a named-vendor list

USAspending labels awarding agency 080 as National Aeronautics and Space Administration. That code produced $7,216,244,737.06 when crossed with California 36th District (CA-36) place of performance. The agency-wide 080 hub does not require CA-36 geography. The district hub does not require NASA. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 306 awards. The packet does not split NASA centers, missions, or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: California 36th District (CA-36) did not “cause” $7,216,244,737.06 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 080 × CA-36 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.

Place of performance for California 36th District (CA-36)

California 36th District (CA-36) 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-36 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other California districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 080. California 36th District (CA-36) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside California. Other California districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 080. California 36th District (CA-36) is a numbered place-of-performance stamp. Energy in CA-12 and CA-16 uses agency 089, not 080. Do not mix those California pairs.

Obligation math for this join

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $7,216,244,737.06 is that kind of sum for National Aeronautics and Space Administration inside CA-36 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 $7,216,244,737.06 as given.

California’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 306-row NASA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 306 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 ($23,582,499.14) is a concentration statistic, not a typical CA-36 NASA payment.

What a complete citation includes

Cite USAspending.gov: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (agency 080) obligated $7,216,244,737.06 on 306 awards coded to California 36th District (CA-36). Name National Aeronautics and Space Administration and California 36th District (CA-36) together. Keep the obligation word. If California 36th 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. 16.7% of $43,332,669,736.78 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Using 16.7% and $23,582,499.14 without overclaiming

306 awards is a moderate NASA file. Share near seventeen percent leaves most of CA-36’s published district total in other awarding agencies. 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 $23,582,499.14) and the district share (16.7% of $43,332,669,736.78) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer California 36th District and National Aeronautics and Space Administration if the live tables moved.

Do not rank California 36th District (CA-36) 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 $7,216,244,737.06 and 306 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 36th District (CA-36)?

USAspending.gov lists $7,216,244,737.06 in National Aeronautics and Space Administration obligations across 306 awards with place of performance in California 36th District (CA-36). Agency 080 × CA-36 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not California’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 16.7% of the district’s published total ($43,332,669,736.78). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $23,582,499.14, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $7,216,244,737.06 include every NASA program in CA-36?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split NASA centers, missions, or contract versus assistance instruments. $7,216,244,737.06 is the combined obligation sum for agency 080 inside CA-36 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open National Aeronautics and Space Administration and California 36th District to inspect parent tables. 306 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $7,216,244,737.06 cash already paid in California 36th District (CA-36)?

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 $7,216,244,737.06 as checks already cleared in California 36th District (CA-36) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 306 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.
