National Aeronautics and Space Administration obligations in Texas 20th District (TX-20)

Reading agency 080 inside TX-20

Awarding agency 080 and congressional district TX-20 meet here. $1,167,035,979.57 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Texas 20th District (TX-20), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split NASA centers, missions, or contract versus assistance instruments. 183 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a center census, a mission catalog, a launch manifest, or a named-contractor file.

This page reports aeronautics and space awarding activity USAspending tagged to this district. The headline $1,167,035,979.57 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $6,592,725,341.67; the 17.7% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of Texas districts as winners or losers. District 90 and 98 placeholders are omitted from this harvest. Obligations are not outlays.

Agency 080 without inventing a component pie

USAspending labels awarding agency 080 as National Aeronautics and Space Administration. That code produced $1,167,035,979.57 when crossed with Texas 20th District (TX-20) place of performance. The agency-wide 080 hub does not require TX-20 geography. The district hub does not require NASA. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 183 awards. The packet does not split NASA centers, missions, or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Texas 20th District (TX-20) did not “cause” $1,167,035,979.57 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 080 × TX-20 only. It is not a center census, a mission catalog, a launch manifest, or a named-contractor file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

How Texas 20th District is coded

Texas 20th District (TX-20) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list TX-20 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Texas districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 080. Texas 20th District (TX-20) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Texas. Other Texas districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 080. Texas 20th District (TX-20) is a numbered place-of-performance code, not a statement that every obligated dollar was spent at a named Texas center. Other Texas districts are separate joins.

What the dollar figure is allowed to mean

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $1,167,035,979.57 is that kind of sum for National Aeronautics and Space Administration inside TX-20 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $1,167,035,979.57 as given.

Texas’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 183-row NASA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 183 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($6,377,245.79) is a concentration statistic, not a typical TX-20 NASA payment.

Parents of this tie: district, agency, state

Cite USAspending.gov: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (agency 080) obligated $1,167,035,979.57 on 183 awards coded to Texas 20th District (TX-20). Name National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Texas 20th District (TX-20) together. Keep the obligation word. If Texas 20th District or National Aeronautics and Space Administration has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a center census, a mission catalog, a launch manifest, or a named-contractor file. 17.7% of $6,592,725,341.67 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Keep National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Texas 20th District (TX-20), $1,167,035,979.57, and 183 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the 080 parent without a TX-20 filter. Texas federal spending is the Texas parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with NASA does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

Limits of the TX-20 × 080 snapshot

183 awards is a moderate NASA file: large enough that modifications can inflate the count, small enough that a few high-dollar instruments can still move the mean. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $6,377,245.79) and the district share (17.7% of $6,592,725,341.67) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Texas 20th District and National Aeronautics and Space Administration if the live tables moved.

Questions

How much NASA spending is coded to Texas 20th District (TX-20)?

USAspending.gov lists $1,167,035,979.57 in NASA (agency 080) obligations across 183 awards coded to Texas 20th District (TX-20). That pair is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Texas’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 17.7% of the district’s published total ($6,592,725,341.67). Unique recipients are unpublished.

Does $1,167,035,979.57 include every NASA program in TX-20?

The packet does not split NASA centers, missions, or contract versus assistance instruments. $1,167,035,979.57 is the combined obligation sum for agency 080 inside TX-20 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. 183 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $1,167,035,979.57 cash already paid in Texas 20th District (TX-20)?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $1,167,035,979.57 as checks already cleared in Texas 20th District (TX-20) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 183 awards.

Do FEC donations fund these NASA awards in TX-20?

No. FEC receipts and USAspending obligations are different datasets. Sharing Texas geography does not mean donations funded $1,167,035,979.57 in Texas 20th District (TX-20).
