Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) in California 36th District (CA-36)
Place-of-performance CA-36 crossed with Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) (NAICS 541712) yields $7,626,004,345.81 in USAspending.gov obligations on 93 awards. Ninety-three NAICS 541712 awards cover about eighteen percent of CA-36's district obligation total — a compact 541712 file beside CA-36's 541715 pair on the same stamp. That pair is Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) and California 36th District (CA-36) — not California's entire federal inflow, not Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 17.6% of this district's published obligation total ($43,332,669,736.78). Implied average obligation is about $82,000,046.73 ($7,626,004,345.81 ÷ 93). Correlation is not causation.

The California 36th District (CA-36) filter on NAICS 541712
NAICS 541712 and congressional district CA-36 meet here. $7,626,004,345.81 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology)'s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to California 36th District (CA-36), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split physical from engineering or life-science tasking, and it does not split contract versus assistance instruments. 93 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a laboratory census, a grant-title catalog, or a named-principal-investigator file.
Dividing $7,626,004,345.81 by 93 yields about $82,000,046.73 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 93 awards is a compact 541712 file. California 28th District's 541712 pair is a different geography. Do not treat CA-36's 541712 cell as a synonym for every R&D (exc. biotech) account nationwide. Open California 36th District for the district table without this industry filter, NAICS 541712 for NAICS 541712 without a CA-36 filter, California federal spending for every industry in the California extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $7,626,004,345.81.
The NAICS 541712 rollup
USAspending labels industry 541712 as Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology). That code produced $7,626,004,345.81 when crossed with California 36th District (CA-36) place of performance. The industry-wide 541712 hub does not require CA-36 geography. The district hub does not require R&D (exc. biotech). Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 93 awards. The packet does not split physical from engineering or life-science tasking, and it does not split contract versus assistance instruments.
Correlation is not causation: California 36th District (CA-36) did not cause $7,626,004,345.81 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 541712 × CA-36 only. This cell is not a laboratory census, a grant-title catalog, or a named-principal-investigator 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. Do not add the 541715 CA-36 cell into this 541712 total. Cite the industry code in the title so the two CA-36 research pages stay distinct.
Reading the CA-36 stamp
California 36th District (CA-36) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list CA-36 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other California districts belong on those ties even when the industry is also 541712. California 36th District (CA-36) hosts both 541712 and 541715 on this harvest. The codes are not aliases. This page is 541712 only.
California federal spending shows how NAICS 541712 sits beside other industries in the same state extract. $7,626,004,345.81 is one district-industry column, not the state table. This packet does not split California 36th District (CA-36) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different NAICS stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology). The district-wide obligation total published here is $43,332,669,736.78; $7,626,004,345.81 is the R&D (exc. biotech) slice of that denominator. Sibling pages on this harvest include CA-36 541715 and CA-28 541712 ties — separate joins, not addends.
USAspending obligations on this pair
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $7,626,004,345.81 is that kind of sum for Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) inside CA-36 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 industry rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $7,626,004,345.81 as given.
California's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 93-row R&D (exc. biotech) cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 93 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 ($82,000,046.73) is a concentration statistic, not a typical CA-36 R&D (exc. biotech) payment. The packet omits labs, grant titles, or investigator names.
Citing $7,626,004,345.81 without dropping a join side
Cite USAspending.gov: Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) (NAICS 541712) obligated $7,626,004,345.81 on 93 awards coded to California 36th District (CA-36). Name Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) and California 36th District (CA-36) together. Keep the obligation word. If California 36th District or NAICS 541712 has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a laboratory census, a grant-title catalog, or a named-principal-investigator file. 17.6% of $43,332,669,736.78 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Row count versus dollar concentration
A compact row count makes a product 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 $82,000,046.73) and the district share (17.6% of $43,332,669,736.78) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer California 36th District and NAICS 541712 if the live tables moved. 93 awards is a compact 541712 file. California 28th District's 541712 pair is a different geography.
Questions
- How much R&D (exc. biotech) spending is coded to California 36th District (CA-36)?
- USAspending.gov lists $7,626,004,345.81 in Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) obligations across 93 awards with place of performance in California 36th District (CA-36). NAICS 541712 × CA-36 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not California's complete federal ledger. The cell is 17.6% of the district's published total ($43,332,669,736.78). Unique recipients are unpublished.
- Does $7,626,004,345.81 include every R&D (exc. biotech) product line in CA-36?
- The packet publishes one NAICS rollup. The packet does not split physical from engineering or life-science tasking, and it does not split contract versus assistance instruments. $7,626,004,345.81 is the combined obligation sum for industry 541712 inside CA-36 coding. This page will not invent a product pie or name contractors. Open NAICS 541712 and California 36th District to inspect parent tables. 93 remains an action count, not a product count.
- Is $7,626,004,345.81 cash already paid in California 36th District (CA-36)?
- 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 $7,626,004,345.81 as checks already cleared in California 36th District (CA-36) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 93 awards. Prefer the live district and industry hubs if the tables moved.
- Why is the implied average $82,000,046.73 not a typical award?
- The average is $7,626,004,345.81 divided by 93 awards, about $82,000,046.73. 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.
