National Aeronautics and Space Administration obligations in Washington 9th District (WA-09)
Awarding agency 080 and Washington 9th District (WA-09) meet at $677,467,215.34 in USAspending.gov obligations, spread across 26 awards. Twenty-six NASA-coded awards cover about twenty-nine percent of WA-09’s district obligation total — a concentrated aeronautics-and-space column against a comparatively small two-point-three-billion-dollar district base. That pair is National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Washington 9th District (WA-09) — not Washington’s entire federal inflow, not National Aeronautics and Space Administration nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 28.9% of this district’s published obligation total ($2,342,665,636.28). Implied average obligation is about $26,056,431.36 ($677,467,215.34 ÷ 26). Correlation is not causation.

Reading agency 080 inside WA-09
Awarding agency 080 and congressional district WA-09 meet here. $677,467,215.34 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 Washington 9th District (WA-09), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split NASA centers, missions, or contract versus assistance instruments. 26 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $677,467,215.34 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $2,342,665,636.28; the 28.9% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of Washington 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 $677,467,215.34 when crossed with Washington 9th District (WA-09) place of performance. The agency-wide 080 hub does not require WA-09 geography. The district hub does not require NASA. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 26 awards. The packet does not split NASA centers, missions, or contract versus assistance instruments.
Correlation is not causation: Washington 9th District (WA-09) did not “cause” $677,467,215.34 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 080 × WA-09 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 Washington 9th District is coded
Washington 9th District (WA-09) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list WA-09 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Washington districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 080. Washington 9th District (WA-09) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Washington. Other Washington districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 080. Washington 9th District (WA-09) is a numbered place-of-performance code inside Washington. Other Washington districts are not this join. The packet does not publish a city split.
Washington federal spending shows how agency 080 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $677,467,215.34 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Washington 9th District (WA-09) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The district-wide obligation total published here is $2,342,665,636.28; $677,467,215.34 is the NASA slice of that denominator.
What the dollar figure is allowed to mean
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $677,467,215.34 is that kind of sum for National Aeronautics and Space Administration inside WA-09 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 $677,467,215.34 as given.
Washington’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 26-row NASA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 26 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 ($26,056,431.36) is a concentration statistic, not a typical WA-09 NASA payment.
Parents of this tie: district, agency, state
Cite USAspending.gov: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (agency 080) obligated $677,467,215.34 on 26 awards coded to Washington 9th District (WA-09). Name National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Washington 9th District (WA-09) together. Keep the obligation word. If Washington 9th 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. 28.9% of $2,342,665,636.28 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Keep National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Washington 9th District (WA-09), $677,467,215.34, and 26 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the 080 parent without a WA-09 filter. Washington federal spending is the Washington 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 WA-09 × 080 snapshot
26 awards against a six-hundred-seventy-seven-million-dollar NASA cell is a thin file with a high district share. Do not read 26 as twenty-six unique contractors. 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 $26,056,431.36) and the district share (28.9% of $2,342,665,636.28) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Washington 9th District and National Aeronautics and Space Administration if the live tables moved.
Questions
- How much NASA spending is coded to Washington 9th District (WA-09)?
- USAspending.gov lists $677,467,215.34 in NASA (agency 080) obligations across 26 awards coded to Washington 9th District (WA-09). That pair is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Washington’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 28.9% of the district’s published total ($2,342,665,636.28). Unique recipients are unpublished.
- Does $677,467,215.34 include every NASA program in WA-09?
- The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split NASA centers, missions, or contract versus assistance instruments. $677,467,215.34 is the combined obligation sum for agency 080 inside WA-09 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. 26 remains an action count, not a program count.
- Is $677,467,215.34 cash already paid in Washington 9th District (WA-09)?
- 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 $677,467,215.34 as checks already cleared in Washington 9th District (WA-09) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 26 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.
- Do FEC donations fund these NASA awards in WA-09?
- No. FEC receipts and USAspending obligations are different datasets. Sharing Washington geography does not mean donations funded $677,467,215.34 in Washington 9th District (WA-09). This page reports USAspending.gov awarding-agency 080 crossed with place of performance WA-09. It does not report campaign finance.
USAspending.gov congressional district place-of-performance joined to awarding agency. District 90/98 (multi/non-voting placeholders) are omitted. Obligations are not outlays.
