National Aeronautics and Space Administration federal obligations in Mississippi 4th District (MS-04)

Mississippi 4th District × NASA is a place-of-performance join, not a test-stand census

This page pairs awarding-agency 080, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, with Mississippi 4th District (MS-04) place of performance. The join is awarding-agency 080 crossed with Mississippi 4th District (MS-04) place of performance, not Mississippi’s statewide NASA book and not a census of test stands. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $2,845,294,061.86 on 115 awards. The extract does not list test stands, 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 115 awards equal 115 test stands or 115 contractors.

Other NASA district pairs on this slice — CO-07, MD-03, CA-43 — are other geography keys. Mixing those listings into $2,845,294,061.86 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and coastal aerospace employment is not causation. Payroll figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as Mississippi 4th District (MS-04) locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $2,845,294,061.86 in a district treasury. Gulfport-versus-Hattiesburg folklore is not a county split in this packet. A Gulf Coast propulsion story is not a packet fact and does not explain the cell.

115 NASA awards behind the MS-04 obligation sum

Mean obligation is about $24,741,687.49 if $2,845,294,061.86 were divided evenly across 115 lines. That ratio is not a published center budget and not a cost per test. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of stands, contractors, or flights. The 115 rows are a mid-volume civilian science file.

One hundred fifteen lines are a mid-volume agency file. Sort the Mississippi 4th District overlay by amount to see concentration. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Mississippi 4th District for the stored table. Do not convert 115 into a map of Mississippi NASA sites. The $2,845,294,061.86 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a contractor roster.

Agency 080 obligations in MS-04 are not tests already fired

NASA awards often obligate as contracts or assistance actions and draw as work proceeds. The $2,845,294,061.86 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of tests completed and not a Treasury outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. A NASA budget justification dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses agency 080, Mississippi 4th District (MS-04) geography, and the obligation metric.

The awarding-agency title is National Aeronautics and Space Administration (code 080). This extract does not split propulsion from science, and it does not split primes from subs. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 115 awards, agency 080, and Mississippi 4th District (MS-04). This page will not invent a share. This page will not invent Stennis-style site names as recipients.

What the MS-04 × agency 080 table omits

The extract has no test stands, contractors, or mission names. Facts remain $2,845,294,061.86, 115 awards, agency 080, and Mississippi 4th District (MS-04). This page will not invent a ranking against other districts’ agency-080 joins. MS-04’s all-agency district total is far larger than this NASA cell; do not quote the cell as the district book.

Mississippi federal spending and Mississippi 4th 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 $2,845,294,061.86 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 × Mississippi 4th District overlay lives

Start with Mississippi 4th District for the 115-award table behind $2,845,294,061.86. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the nationwide National Aeronautics and Space Administration hub. Mississippi federal spending gives Mississippi context. All spending ties is the shelf for other district-by-agency joins on the same obligation metric. One hundred fifteen awards totaling $2,845,294,061.86 remain an awarding-agency file, not a test-stand census. Center names and contractor UEIs are not in this packet. The $2,845,294,061.86 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 $2,845,294,061.86: no fiscal year is in the facts.

How to read the MS-04 × 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 Mississippi 4th District (MS-04). The headline $2,845,294,061.86 is the obligation sum on that intersection, about 5.9 percent of the district’s $48,208,185,379.24 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 Mississippi 4th District (MS-04)’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.
