387 is an award-action count. Modifications and delivery orders can add rows. Unique vendors are unpublished.

Campaign-finance tables do not fund these obligations. 387 awards is a high action count. Recurring instruments and modifications can inflate rows relative to unique vendors.

National Science Foundation as awarding agency 049

Agency 049 is stored as National Science Foundation. The awarding-agency code does not name directorates, universities, or principal investigators. This packet lists none of those parties. Confusing this join with Pennsylvania statewide NSF totals or the Pennsylvania 3rd NSF overlay would be a different overlay. Packet facts on the agency side are the name National Science Foundation, code 049, and the join dollars $324,229,862. Any other recipient or installation list would be invented.

National Science Foundation drops the district filter. Other districts with National Science Foundation awards are other ties. This page quotes only Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12). Do not treat PA-12 as the NSF capital of Pennsylvania on the strength of this cell. Directorate splits are unpublished. FEC filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) as place of performance

Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) is a place-of-performance stamp, not proof that every research dollar stayed on a campus inside that map. Pennsylvania 3rd District is a different NSF join with its own dollar cell. Place of performance PA-12 is a geography field in the award file. It does not prove residency of workers or vendors. Pennsylvania federal spending is the statewide parent and includes other districts.

The district's all-agency obligation total is $32,614,970,959.69. $324,229,862 is the National Science Foundation slice of that book, about 1.0%. Remaining district dollars sit with other awarding agencies on Pennsylvania 12th District, not inside this join. District 90/98 multi and non-voting placeholders are omitted from this harvest by design.

Three hundred eighty-seven NSF rows versus the district book

387 awards against $324,229,862 implies about $837,803.26 per award. That mean is not a unit price and not a jobs figure. With 387 rows, a few large instruments can dominate. Treat the count as records in an aggregate, not as 387 finished projects. All spending ties lists other pairs. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished.

What the NSF × PA-12 pair cannot prove

An obligation is a legal commitment. $324,229,862 is that kind of sum for National Science Foundation inside PA-12 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing the figure as cash already spent in Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) over-reads the field. Do not rank Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) as a winner or loser versus other districts. Keep both sides in the citation: National Science Foundation and Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12).
