NASA federal obligations in New York

NASA obligations tagged to New York

National Aeronautics and Space Administration as awarding agency, New York as place-of-performance: 847 records summing to $819,059,269.79. A National Aeronautics and Space Administration award coded outside NY is out. An award in New York from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. New York (NY) excludes New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Vermont, and Massachusetts. A Newark-coded award is New Jersey; a Greenwich-coded award is Connecticut.

Eight hundred forty-seven awards sit behind $819,059,269.79. That row count can mix large instruments with smaller modifications. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 847 as 847 unique launch pads, unique NASA centers, or a census of laboratories. The overlay National Aeronautics and Space Administration in New York is the both-keys table. New York federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the agency book without an NY filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

New York City, Buffalo, Albany, and Rochester share one NY stamp. NASA mission directorates can share awarding-agency 080 without a published center pie. Correlation is not causation: New York did not cause $819,059,269.79 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 080 × NY only.

847 rows are not 847 launch pads

$819,059,269.79 does not measure launch pads, unique NASA centers, or a census of laboratories. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 080 and an NY place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 847 awards as a census of launch pads, unique NASA centers, or a census of laboratories. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If New York federal spending or National Aeronautics and Space Administration matched $819,059,269.79 and 847, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighbor-state NASA joins are other pairs, not addends. Dividing $819,059,269.79 by 847 yields about $967,012.12 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical NASA line and not a published median.

New York, not a tri-state NASA rollup

Place of performance NY is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. New York (NY) excludes New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Vermont, and Massachusetts. A Newark-coded award is New Jersey; a Greenwich-coded award is Connecticut. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

New York City, Buffalo, Albany, and Rochester share one NY stamp. This packet does not split $819,059,269.79 by city, county, or named facility. 847 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

A mid-count NASA file, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $819,059,269.79 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in New York confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

New York's own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 847-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $819,059,269.79.

What this pair does not prove

A large NASA total in New York does not mean the agency caused New York's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Keep $819,059,269.79 labeled as agency 080 obligations with New York place of performance. Neighbor NASA cells among New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Vermont, and Massachusetts are separate joins. This page does not rank New York as a winner or loser.

Recipient names are unpublished in this packet. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to explain $819,059,269.79. Place-of-performance NY can differ from a vendor mailroom. A Newark-coded award is New Jersey; a Greenwich-coded award is Connecticut. A later ingest can restate $819,059,269.79 and 847 without changing the join definition: awarding agency 080 crossed with New York.

Citing NASA in New York

Cite USAspending.gov: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (agency 080) obligated $819,059,269.79 on 847 awards coded to New York. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as launch pads, unique NASA centers, or a census of laboratories.

Prefer National Aeronautics and Space Administration in New York if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. New York federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NY. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the 080 parent without the NY filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $819,059,269.79.

A usable footnote names National Aeronautics and Space Administration, New York, $819,059,269.79, and 847. The implied mean near $967,012.12 is $819,059,269.79 divided by 847. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset; they do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation.

Questions

How much has the National Aeronautics and Space Administration obligated in New York?

USAspending.gov records $819,059,269.79 across 847 awards with awarding agency 080 and a New York tag. That is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a count of launch pads, unique NASA centers, or a census of laboratories. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in New York is the live overlay for this pair. Keep both keys when quoting $819,059,269.79.

Is $819,059,269.79 a measure of launch pads?

No. The packet publishes $819,059,269.79 and 847 awards for agency 080 inside NY coding. Those other series are unpublished here. Unique recipients are unpublished.

No. $819,059,269.79 and 847 awards are statewide New York place of performance. New York City, Buffalo, Albany, and Rochester share one NY stamp. This packet does not publish a city split. A regional cut would be a different extract. Original filings remain on the source sites.

Where is the live NASA–New York table?

National Aeronautics and Space Administration in New York is the overlay. New York federal spending and National Aeronautics and Space Administration are the parents, not addends. All spending ties lists other pairs. Keep both sides of the join when citing $819,059,269.79. USAspending.gov is the source. Obligations are not outlays.
