NASA federal obligations in Colorado

NASA’s Colorado-coded awards

National Aeronautics and Space Administration as awarding agency, Colorado as place-of-performance: 1,416 records summing to $22,354,345,417.82. A NASA award in California is a different cell. A Defense space award in Colorado sits under agency 097, not 080.

The implied mean is about $15.8 million per award. Spacecraft, instrument, and center-support vehicles can share the 1,416-row file. This packet does not itemize programs.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Colorado is the overlay. Colorado federal spending is the all-agency state hub. All spending ties lists other pairs. One thousand four hundred sixteen NASA records in Colorado are not a Front Range contractor roster. $22,354,345,417.82 is the obligation sum for agency 080 inside CO coding. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Colorado does not include Space Force or Defense awards under other agency codes.

Front Range contractors unnamed

Named aerospace campuses along the Front Range are not packet facts. This page does not assign $22,354,345,417.82 to a named firm or lab. Place-of-performance can follow a contractor address while work occurs in several states.

Launch cadence and satellite counts are not USAspending fields. $22,354,345,417.82 does not grade Colorado aerospace. It sums obligations. Colorado did not cause the cell by hosting contractors. The join is 080 × CO. Correlation is not causation. Satellite and launch-provider names attach easily. This packet names neither. Linking $22,354,345,417.82 to a named campus is a new extract. Colorado federal spending still includes every other awarding agency.

Multi-year vehicles on a 1,416-row file

Spacecraft contracts often obligate ahead of outlays. $22,354,345,417.82 can include amounts still unpaid. Citing it as cash already spent in Colorado misreads the award file.

Denver’s and the state’s budgets are different ledgers. Mixing them with 1,416 NASA awards leaves USAspending.gov. Colorado NASA’s 1,416 records are not a Front Range contractor roster. $22,354,345,417.82 is agency 080 inside CO coding. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Colorado does not absorb Space Force awards under other codes. Satellite counts are unpublished. The implied mean near $15.8 million is a thin-file ratio.

Statewide CO, not a Front Range map

This packet does not split $22,354,345,417.82 by metro. 1,416 awards stay statewide. A campus table would be a different extract.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the 080 hub without a Colorado filter. Use it for the agency book. On a 1,416-row file, one large modification can move the mean. A 1,416-row file can swing when one spacecraft vehicle restates $22,354,345,417.82. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Colorado is the live cell. Front Range campus names remain unpublished.
