National Aeronautics and Space Administration federal obligations in Oklahoma

NASA awards tagged to Oklahoma, not a launch roster

National Aeronautics and Space Administration as awarding agency, Oklahoma as place-of-performance: 101 records summing to $252,261,859.40. A National Aeronautics and Space Administration award coded outside OK is out. An award in Oklahoma from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Oklahoma (OK) excludes Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, New Mexico, and Colorado. A Houston-coded award is Texas even if a supplier sits in Oklahoma.

One hundred one awards against $252,261,859.40 is a thin NASA file: few rows, so the implied mean is large and easy to misread as a typical invoice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 101 as 101 unique named centers, unique contractors, or launch counts. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Oklahoma is the both-keys table. Oklahoma federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the agency book without an OK filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Johnson Space Center is a Texas geography. Do not fold this Oklahoma cell into a Houston NASA book. Named labs and primes are unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Oklahoma did not cause $252,261,859.40 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 080 × OK only.

Flight hours are not a packet field

$252,261,859.40 does not measure named centers, unique contractors, or launch counts. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 080 and an OK place-of-performance tag.

Oklahoma, not a Houston catchment

Place of performance OK is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Oklahoma (OK) excludes Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, New Mexico, and Colorado. A Houston-coded award is Texas even if a supplier sits in Oklahoma. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $252,261,859.40 by city, county, or named facility. 101 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Thin NASA rows still mean commitments

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $252,261,859.40 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Oklahoma confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Oklahoma’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 101-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 $252,261,859.40.

How to cite NASA in Oklahoma

Cite USAspending.gov: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (agency 080) obligated $252,261,859.40 on 101 awards coded to Oklahoma. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as named centers, unique contractors, or launch counts.

Prefer National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Oklahoma if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Oklahoma federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to OK. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the 080 parent without the OK filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $252,261,859.40.

A usable footnote names National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Oklahoma, $252,261,859.40, and 101. The compact headline $252.3M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $2.50 million is $252,261,859.40 divided by 101. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system. Center names, mission titles, and vendor identities are unpublished on this packet.

One hundred one awards against $252,261,859.40 is a thin NASA file: few rows, so the implied mean is large and easy to misread as a typical invoice. On this join the implied mean near $2.50 million should not be treated as a typical award size. Without a distribution, $252,261,859.40 can be dominated by a few rows even when 101 is large, or by those same few rows when 101 is small. This page will not pretend to know which pattern holds. It keeps repeating the two facts and the two keys: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (080) and Oklahoma (OK). Place of performance still does not mean every dollar was disbursed locally. Obligations still do not mean outlays. Johnson Space Center is a Texas geography. Do not fold this Oklahoma cell into a Houston NASA book. Named labs and primes are unpublished. Center names, mission titles, and vendor identities are unpublished on this packet.

Questions

How much has National Aeronautics and Space Administration obligated in Oklahoma?

USAspending.gov records $252,261,859.40 across 101 awards with awarding agency 080 and an Oklahoma tag. That is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Oklahoma’s full federal book. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Oklahoma is the live overlay for this pair.

Is the Oklahoma NASA total an outlay already drawn at a named center?

No. $252,261,859.40 is an obligation sum on awarding-agency 080 × OK. It does not measure named centers, unique contractors, or launch counts. Those series are not fields on this aggregate. Payments from the Treasury can lag or differ.

Do 101 awards mean 101 unique NASA contractors in Oklahoma?

No. 101 is an award-record count, including possible continuations and modifications. Dividing $252,261,859.40 by 101 yields about $2.50 million as a mean, not a typical project. Unique recipients are unpublished. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Where is the live table for National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Oklahoma?
