National Aeronautics and Space Administration federal obligations in Oregon

NASA awards tagged to Oregon

National Aeronautics and Space Administration as awarding agency, Oregon as place-of-performance: 218 records summing to $73,670,634.73. A National Aeronautics and Space Administration award coded outside OR is out. An award in Oregon from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Oregon (OR) excludes Washington, California, Idaho, and Nevada. A Seattle-coded award is WA even if a collaborator sits in Portland. Centers inside awarding agency 080 are unpublished on this Oregon cell.

Two hundred eighteen records against $73,670,634.73 is a mid-thin NASA file, close to North Carolina’s 227-row cell and still not a contractor census. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 218 as 218 unique missions, named campuses, or unique contractors. The overlay National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Oregon is the both-keys table. Oregon federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the agency book without an OR filter. All spending ties lists other joins. Portland, Corvallis, and Eugene are unpublished. Do not treat 218 as unique Oregon labs. Correlation is not causation: Oregon did not cause $73,670,634.73 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 080 × OR only.

Not a Portland lab ranking or contractor roster

$73,670,634.73 does not measure unique missions, named campuses, or unique contractors. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 080 and an OR place-of-performance tag. Centers inside awarding agency 080 are unpublished on this Oregon cell.

Do not treat 218 awards as a census of unique missions, named campuses, or unique contractors. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Oregon federal spending or National Aeronautics and Space Administration matched $73,670,634.73 and 218, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Washington, California, and Idaho NASA joins are other pairs, not addends. Do not merge this $73,670,634.73 with a Washington NASA join because a lab sits on the Columbia.

Oregon statewide, not a Willamette-only map

Place of performance OR is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Oregon (OR) excludes Washington, California, Idaho, and Nevada. A Seattle-coded award is WA even if a collaborator sits in Portland. Recipient address can differ from that state tag. Portland, Eugene, Corvallis, and the rest of the counties share one OR stamp.

Portland, Corvallis, and Eugene are unpublished. Do not treat 218 as unique Oregon labs. This packet does not split $73,670,634.73 by city, county, or named facility. 218 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. FEC donation tables do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Mid-thin research files still record obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $73,670,634.73 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Oregon confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Oregon’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 218-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 $73,670,634.73. Do not merge this $73,670,634.73 with a Washington NASA join because a lab sits on the Columbia.

Citing NASA in Oregon

Cite USAspending.gov: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (agency 080) obligated $73,670,634.73 on 218 awards coded to Oregon. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as unique missions, named campuses, or unique contractors. The pair is NASA plus Oregon, not a statewide aerospace ranking.

Prefer National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Oregon if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Oregon federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to OR. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the 080 parent without the OR filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $73,670,634.73. A usable footnote names National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Oregon, $73,670,634.73, and 218. The compact headline $73.7 million is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $337,939 is $73,670,634.73 divided by 218. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

Questions

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

USAspending.gov records $73,670,634.73 across 218 awards with awarding agency 080 and an Oregon tag. That is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a count of unique missions, named campuses, or unique contractors. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Oregon is the live overlay for this pair. Keep both keys when quoting $73,670,634.73.

Is $73,670,634.73 a measure of unique missions, named campuses, or unique contractors?

No. The packet publishes $73,670,634.73 and 218 awards for agency 080 inside OR coding. Those other series are unpublished here. Unique recipients are unpublished. Quote the dollar total and the award count together. Obligations are not outlays. Keep both keys.

Does 218 NASA awards mean 218 Oregon labs?

No. 218 is the award-record count for 080 × OR. Combined with $73,670,634.73, the average is about $337,939. Modifications and repeat instruments add rows. 218 is not unique missions, named campuses, or unique contractors. Later ingests can revise the count. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.

Where is the live NASA–Oregon table?

National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Oregon is the overlay. Oregon 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 $73,670,634.73. USAspending.gov is the source. Obligations are not outlays.
