NOAA Cooperative Institutes in Colorado 2nd District (CO-02)

The Colorado 2nd District (CO-02) filter on NOAA Institutes

CFDA 11.432 and congressional district CO-02 meet here. $349,250,540.30 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) Cooperative Institutes’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Colorado 2nd District (CO-02), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split ocean from atmosphere from climate work and does not name institutes. 3 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a campus census, a ship-day log, or a named-institute roster.

Dividing $349,250,540.30 by 3 yields about $116,416,846.77 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical cooperative-agreement size or a posted per-institute figure. Three awards against a three-hundred-forty-nine-million-dollar cooperative-institute cell is extreme concentration. Do not read 3 as three named institutes or three campuses. Do not treat CO-02’s 11.432 cell as a synonym for every NOAA Institutes account nationwide. Open Colorado 2nd District for the district table without this program filter, CFDA 11.432 for CFDA 11.432 without the CO-02 filter, Colorado federal spending for every program in the Colorado extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $349,250,540.30.

The National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) Cooperative Institutes catalog rollup

USAspending labels CFDA 11.432 as National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) Cooperative Institutes. That catalog number produced $349,250,540.30 when crossed with Colorado 2nd District (CO-02) place of performance. The program-wide 11.432 hub does not require CO-02 geography. The district hub does not require NOAA Institutes. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 3 awards. The packet does not split ocean from atmosphere from climate work and does not name institutes.

Correlation is not causation: Colorado 2nd District (CO-02) did not cause $349,250,540.30 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 11.432 × CO-02 only. This cell is not a campus census, a ship-day log, or a named-institute roster. 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.

Reading the CO-02 stamp

Colorado 2nd District (CO-02) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list CO-02 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Colorado districts belong on those ties even when the CFDA is also 11.432. Colorado 2nd District (CO-02) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Colorado. Other Colorado districts are separate joins even when they reuse CFDA 11.432. Colorado 2nd District (CO-02) is a numbered place-of-performance stamp inside Colorado. Other Colorado districts keep their own 11.432 ties if they exist.

Colorado federal spending shows how CFDA 11.432 sits beside other programs in the same state extract. $349,250,540.30 is one district-program column, not the state table. This packet does not split Colorado 2nd District (CO-02) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different CFDA stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) Cooperative Institutes. The district-wide obligation total published here is $12,688,286,519.69; $349,250,540.30 is the NOAA Institutes slice of that denominator.

USAspending obligations on this pair

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $349,250,540.30 is that kind of sum for National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) Cooperative Institutes inside CO-02 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 CFDA rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $349,250,540.30 as given.

Colorado’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 3-row NOAA Institutes cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 3 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. 3 is not a count of institutes, ships, or investigators. 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 ($116,416,846.77) is a concentration statistic, not a typical cooperative-agreement size or a posted per-institute figure.

Citing $349,250,540.30 without dropping a join side

Cite USAspending.gov: National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) Cooperative Institutes (CFDA 11.432) obligated $349,250,540.30 on 3 awards coded to Colorado 2nd District (CO-02). Name National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) Cooperative Institutes and Colorado 2nd District (CO-02) together. Keep the obligation word. If Colorado 2nd District or CFDA 11.432 has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a campus census, a ship-day log, or a named-institute roster. 2.8% of $12,688,286,519.69 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score. A three-row file invites naming the institutes. The packet still withholds recipient names. Ship days, satellite programs, and campus lists are unpublished.

Row count versus dollar concentration

Three awards against a three-hundred-forty-nine-million-dollar cooperative-institute cell is extreme concentration. Do not read 3 as three named institutes or three campuses. A three-row file invites naming the institutes. The packet still withholds recipient names. Ship days, satellite programs, and campus lists are unpublished. A large row count makes a project 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 $116,416,846.77) and the district share (2.8% of $12,688,286,519.69) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Colorado 2nd District and CFDA 11.432 if the live tables moved.

Questions

How much NOAA Institutes spending is coded to Colorado 2nd District (CO-02)?

USAspending.gov lists $349,250,540.30 in National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) Cooperative Institutes obligations across 3 awards with place of performance in Colorado 2nd District (CO-02). CFDA 11.432 × CO-02 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Colorado’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 2.8% of the district’s published total ($12,688,286,519.69). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $116,416,846.77, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $349,250,540.30 include every NOAA Institutes project in CO-02?

The packet publishes one CFDA rollup. The packet does not split ocean from atmosphere from climate work and does not name institutes. $349,250,540.30 is the combined obligation sum for CFDA 11.432 inside CO-02 coding. This page will not invent a project pie or name contractors. Open CFDA 11.432 and Colorado 2nd District to inspect parent tables. 3 remains an action count, not a count of institutes, ships, or investigators.

Is $349,250,540.30 cash already paid in Colorado 2nd District (CO-02)?

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 $349,250,540.30 as checks already cleared in Colorado 2nd District (CO-02) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 3 awards. Prefer the live district and program hubs if the tables moved.

Why is the implied average $116,416,846.77 not a typical award?

The average is $349,250,540.30 divided by 3 awards, about $116,416,846.77. Thick files pull the mean down; thin files pull it up. Neither case publishes a typical instrument. Modifications add rows. Recipients are unpublished. Use the ratio only as a concentration statistic.
