There is no distribution in the packet: no p50, no largest award, no fiscal year. A high mean can be one vehicle; a low mean can be many delivery orders. This extract cannot tell those stories apart.

Washington geography on a 238220 cell

Washington place of performance can cover Puget Sound, Eastern Washington, a federal campus, or a reporting address. The packet has no county split. Seattle, Spokane, or a named mechanical plant are ordinary place names, not columns. The only geography key is WA. Splitting $45,181,012.61 across those names would be invention.

USAspending place of performance is a reporting field. It can diverge from where parts were made, where patients were seen, or where a ship was docked. This page repeats the coded Washington tag. It does not audit the field. Washington federal spending uses the same geography convention across industries.
