National Aeronautics and Space Administration federal obligations in Ohio

NASA awards tagged to Ohio

National Aeronautics and Space Administration as awarding agency, Ohio as place-of-performance: 1,086 records summing to $1,279,533,924.31. A National Aeronautics and Space Administration award coded outside OH is out. An award in Ohio from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Ohio (OH) excludes Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, and West Virginia. A Pennsylvania-coded award is PA even if the contractor sits on the border.

One thousand eighty-six awards against $1,279,533,924.31 is a mid-count NASA file, not a thin handful of rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,086 as 1,086 unique unique missions, named centers, or astronaut counts. The overlay National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Ohio is the both-keys table. Ohio federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the agency book without an OH filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Named centers are unpublished. Assigning $1,279,533,924.31 to a single Ohio campus is a new extract. Correlation is not causation: Ohio did not cause $1,279,533,924.31 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 080 × OH only.

Not a Glenn-center headcount or mission list

$1,279,533,924.31 does not measure unique missions, named centers, or astronaut counts. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 080 and an OH place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,086 awards as a census of unique missions, named centers, or astronaut counts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Ohio federal spending or National Aeronautics and Space Administration matched $1,279,533,924.31 and 1,086, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Michigan NASA joins are other pairs, not addends.

Ohio statewide, not a Cleveland-only map

Place of performance OH is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Ohio (OH) excludes Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, and West Virginia. A Pennsylvania-coded award is PA even if the contractor sits on the border. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Named centers are unpublished. Assigning $1,279,533,924.31 to a single Ohio campus is a new extract. This packet does not split $1,279,533,924.31 by city, county, or named facility. 1,086 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Center-adjacent dollars still record obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,279,533,924.31 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Ohio confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Ohio’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 1,086-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 $1,279,533,924.31.

Citing NASA in Ohio

Cite USAspending.gov: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (agency 080) obligated $1,279,533,924.31 on 1,086 awards coded to Ohio. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as unique missions, named centers, or astronaut counts.

Prefer National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Ohio if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Ohio federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to OH. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the 080 parent without the OH filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,279,533,924.31.

A usable footnote names National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Ohio, $1,279,533,924.31, and 1,086. The compact headline $1.28 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $1.18 million is $1,279,533,924.31 divided by 1,086. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

Questions

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

USAspending.gov records $1,279,533,924.31 across 1,086 awards with awarding agency 080 and an Ohio tag. That is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a count of unique missions, named centers, or astronaut counts. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Ohio is the live overlay for this pair. Keep both keys when quoting $1,279,533,924.31.

Is $1,279,533,924.31 a measure of unique missions, named centers, or astronaut counts?

No. The packet publishes $1,279,533,924.31 and 1,086 awards for agency 080 inside OH coding. Those other series are unpublished here. Unique recipients are unpublished. Quote the dollar total and the award count together. Obligations are not outlays.

Why does this NASA file have 1,086 awards?

That is the award-record count for 080 × OH. Combined with $1,279,533,924.31, the average is about $1.18 million. Modifications and repeat instruments add rows. 1,086 is not unique unique missions, named centers, or astronaut counts. Later ingests can revise the count. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
