National Aeronautics and Space Administration federal obligations in New Jersey

On USAspending.gov, National Aeronautics and Space Administration obligations tagged to New Jersey geography sum to $206,017,356.11. The extract counts 305 awards and does not publish a fiscal year. $675,466.74 is $206,017,356.11 ÷ 305, a ratio, not a typical flight-center or lab award.

Key figures

  • USAspending cell: NASA × New Jersey = $206,017,356.11.
  • 305 records, about $675,466.74 each as a mean.
  • Outlays and fiscal-year splits are unpublished here.
  • Space-center, range, and research-lab folklore is labeled folklore because no program column exists here.
  • No contractor names in this packet; geography is statewide New Jersey.

How NASA and New Jersey meet in one table

$206,017,356.11 is not National Aeronautics and Space Administration's national book with a New Jersey footnote, and it is not New Jersey's all-agency book with a NASA footnote. It is the intersection only. Port, corridor, and shore folklore stays outside the numeric fields.

Do not convert 305 into centers or contractors. The field is awardCount. USAspending.gov award actions include new awards, modifications, and other recorded events. This page copies the count; it does not re-label it as people, campuses, or companies.

Reading 305 actions without a type split

A typical flight-center or lab award would need program and instrument fields. Those fields are absent. The honest caption is: 305 actions, $206,017,356.11 obligated, mean about $675,466.74, source USAspending.gov.

A mid-size award list is a description of 305, not a quality judgment. Large or small lists can both be accurate extracts of the same two keys.

Hub pages are larger than this cell

The overlay path is /states/nj/agencies/080/. That path already encodes both NJ and agency 080. This ties slug exists so the same pair can be discussed as a relationship page rather than only as a filtered table.

Sibling NASA overlays in other states are separate cells. They do not have to sum with $206,017,356.11 to a national figure on this page, because no national figure is in the packet.

Keep the obligation word on every reuse

Voice on this packet says to lead with the dollar figure and to name USAspending.gov. It also says the page is a JOIN. Those three instructions are why $206,017,356.11 appears before any geography color.

The canonical path is /ties/national-aeronautics-and-space-administration-in-new-jersey/. The overlay target is /states/nj/agencies/080/. Both describe the same pair: National Aeronautics and Space Administration and New Jersey.

Public records, not accusations

Space-center, range, and research-lab folklore is labeled folklore because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Port, corridor, and shore folklore is the same kind of unused path.

All spending ties lists other pairs. Visiting them does not change $206,017,356.11. Each join has its own extract. Do not claim that donations paid for $206,017,356.11 in New Jersey. The source is USAspending.gov, not a campaign-finance file.

Index, overlay, and statewide hub

Place-of-performance New Jersey is statewide; it does not split Newark, Trenton, and Jersey City. Neighbor-coded work in New York, Pennsylvania, or Delaware stays out.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the awarding-agency label stored on the New Jersey overlay; the numeric key is 080. Readers who only remember the short name NASA still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $206,017,356.11. The 305 figure is not a count of centers or contractors and is not a count of distinct NASA programs. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $675,466.74 is not a typical flight-center or lab award. Newark is a reader landmark, not a published subtotal. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/nj/agencies/080/ and canonicalPath /ties/national-aeronautics-and-space-administration-in-new-jersey/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $206,017,356.11 or 305, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $206,017,356.11, 305 awards, agency 080, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, New Jersey (NJ), and the obligation unit. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $206,017,356.11. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in New Jersey remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance New Jersey is statewide; it does not split Newark, Trenton, and Jersey City. Neighbor-coded activity in New York, Pennsylvania, or Delaware stays out even if mail is handled in Newark. Correlation is not causation. Space-center, range, and research-lab folklore can be a legitimate research question on another page. Here it is labeled folklore because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Port, corridor, and shore folklore is the same kind of reader path: useful for search, unused as math. Agency 080 on a different state's overlay is a sibling join, not a remainder that must add to a national NASA budget on this page. New Jersey's $206,017,356.11 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from National Aeronautics and Space Administration and call the difference 'New Jersey versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none.

What is the NASA obligation total for New Jersey?
USAspending.gov records $206,017,356.11 in obligations for awarding agency 080 (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) with New Jersey place of performance, covering 305 awards.

Are unique centers listed for New Jersey?
The extract lists 305 award actions totaling $206,017,356.11. Average obligation per award is about $675,466.74, a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical flight-center or lab award. Unique centers are not published here. Original filings remain on the source sites.
Are neighbor-coded NASA awards included in New Jersey?
No. $206,017,356.11 and 305 awards are statewide New Jersey place of performance. This packet does not split Newark, Trenton, and Jersey City. Awards coded to New York, Pennsylvania, or Delaware are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Newark. The geography key remains NJ.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration in New Jersey is the overlay. New Jersey federal spending shows all agencies in the state. National Aeronautics and Space Administration shows agency 080 without a state filter. All spending ties lists other pairs. Original filings remain on the source sites.

USAspending.gov aggregate of federal obligations by state and awarding agency. Obligations are not outlays.
