Physical/Engineering/Life R&D (ex-biotech) in Colorado 6th (CO-06)

USAspending.gov tags $3,790,012,973.82 to NAICS 541712 inside Colorado 6th District (CO-06) — 4 award records, not outlays. Four except-biotechnology R&D rows cover about sixteen percent of CO-06. Colorado 5th hosts the same 541712 code with 112 rows; Colorado 7th hosts 541715, a different research label. That pair is Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) (NAICS 541712) and Colorado 6th District (CO-06) — not Colorado's entire federal inflow, not NAICS 541712 nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 16.1% of this district's published obligation total ($23,602,717,831.55). Implied average obligation is about $947,503,243.46 ($3,790,012,973.82 ÷ 4). The packet does not publish a fiscal year on this join. Correlation is not causation.

Key figures

  • R&D (ex-biotech) in Colorado 6th District (CO-06): $3,790,012,973.82 across 4 USAspending awards (NAICS 541712).
  • Implied mean about $947,503,243.46 per record; district share 16.1% of $23,602,717,831.55.
  • NAICS 541712 × CO-06 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a named-recipient list.
  • Cite USAspending.gov; quote /districts/CO-06/ and /industries/541712/ if live tables moved.
  • /states/co/ and /ties/ are a parent and an index, not amounts to add into $3,790,012,973.82.

Reading NAICS 541712 inside CO-06

Congressional district CO-06 and NAICS 541712 meet here. $3,790,012,973.82 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 Colorado 6th District (CO-06), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split physical versus engineering versus life sciences, or contract versus assistance. 4 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a lab census, a principal-investigator list, or a named-grant catalog.

Dividing $3,790,012,973.82 by 4 yields about $947,503,243.46 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 4 awards is an extremely thin R&D file with a nine-figure implied mean. Principal investigators are unpublished. Do not treat CO-06's 541712 cell as a synonym for every R&D (ex-biotech) account nationwide. Open /districts/CO-06/ (Colorado 6th District) for the district table without this NAICS filter, /industries/541712/ (NAICS 541712) for NAICS 541712 without a CO-06 filter, /states/co/ (Colorado federal spending) for every industry in the Colorado extract, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $3,790,012,973.82.

This page reports R&D in the physical, engineering, and life sciences (except biotechnology) activity USAspending tagged to Colorado 6th District (CO-06). The headline $3,790,012,973.82 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $23,602,717,831.55; the 16.1% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of Colorado districts as winners or losers. District 90 and 98 placeholders are omitted from this harvest. Obligations are not outlays. Four rows are not four laboratories. 541712 is not 541715. Keep the except-biotechnology wording attached to 541712.

Industry 541712 without inventing a product pie

USAspending labels NAICS 541712 as Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology). That code produced $3,790,012,973.82 when crossed with Colorado 6th District (CO-06) place of performance. The industry-wide 541712 hub does not require CO-06 geography. The district hub does not require R&D (ex-biotech). Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 4 awards. The packet does not split physical versus engineering versus life sciences, or contract versus assistance.

How Colorado 6th District is coded

Colorado 6th District (CO-06) 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-06 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Colorado districts belong on those ties even when the industry is also NAICS 541712. Colorado 6th District (CO-06) is not Colorado 5th, 7th, or 3rd. Same state, different district numbers and, in some cases, different NAICS.

/states/co/ shows how NAICS 541712 sits beside other industries in the same state extract. $3,790,012,973.82 is one district-industry column, not the state table. This packet does not split Colorado 6th District (CO-06) 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 $23,602,717,831.55; $3,790,012,973.82 is the R&D (ex-biotech) 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. $3,790,012,973.82 is that kind of sum for Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) inside CO-06 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 NAICS rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $3,790,012,973.82 as given.

Colorado's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 4-row R&D (ex-biotech) cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 4 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 ($947,503,243.46) is a concentration statistic, not a typical CO-06 R&D (ex-biotech) payment.

Parents of this tie: district, industry, state

Cite USAspending.gov: Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) (NAICS 541712) obligated $3,790,012,973.82 on 4 awards coded to Colorado 6th District (CO-06). Name Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) and Colorado 6th District (CO-06) together. Keep the obligation word. If /districts/CO-06/ or /industries/541712/ has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a lab census, a principal-investigator list, or a named-grant catalog. 16.1% of $23,602,717,831.55 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Keep Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology), Colorado 6th District (CO-06), $3,790,012,973.82, and 4 awards together. /ties/ indexes other pairs. /industries/541712/ is the 541712 parent without a CO-06 filter. /states/co/ is the Colorado parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with R&D (ex-biotech) does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join. Arizona 7th also hosts 541712 (16 rows). Do not merge AZ-07 and CO-06.

Limits of the CO-06 × 541712 snapshot

4 awards is an extremely thin R&D file with a nine-figure implied mean. Principal investigators are unpublished. Arizona 7th also hosts 541712 (16 rows). Do not merge AZ-07 and CO-06. 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 $947,503,243.46) and the district share (16.1% of $23,602,717,831.55) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer /districts/CO-06/ and /industries/541712/ if the live tables moved. Four rows are not four laboratories. 541712 is not 541715. Keep the except-biotechnology wording attached to 541712.

Questions

How much R&D (ex-biotech) spending is coded to Colorado 6th District (CO-06)?
USAspending.gov lists $3,790,012,973.82 in Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) obligations across 4 awards with place of performance in Colorado 6th District (CO-06). NAICS 541712 × CO-06 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Colorado's complete federal ledger. The cell is 16.1% of the district's published total ($23,602,717,831.55). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $947,503,243.46, a ratio of those two facts only.
Does $3,790,012,973.82 include every R&D (ex-biotech) program in CO-06?
The packet publishes one NAICS rollup. The packet does not split physical versus engineering versus life sciences, or contract versus assistance. $3,790,012,973.82 is the combined obligation sum for NAICS 541712 inside CO-06 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open /industries/541712/ and /districts/CO-06/ to inspect parent tables. 4 remains an action count, not a program count.
Is $3,790,012,973.82 cash already paid in Colorado 6th District (CO-06)?
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 $3,790,012,973.82 as checks already cleared in Colorado 6th District (CO-06) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 4 awards. Prefer the live district and industry hubs if the tables moved.
Do FEC donations fund these R&D (ex-biotech) awards in CO-06?
No. FEC receipts and USAspending obligations are different datasets. Sharing Colorado geography does not mean donations funded $3,790,012,973.82 in Colorado 6th District (CO-06). This page reports USAspending.gov NAICS 541712 crossed with place of performance CO-06. It does not report campaign finance. Keep Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) and Colorado 6th District (CO-06) on the same citation.
