R&D except Biotech (NAICS 541712) in Texas 36th District (TX-36)
Place-of-performance TX-36 crossed with Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) (NAICS 541712) yields $2,324,875,715.60 in USAspending.gov obligations on 37 awards. Thirty-seven 541712 awards equal about seven percent of Texas 36th District's huge district book — a compact except-biotechnology R&D file beside TX-36's separate 541710 tie. That pair is Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) and Texas 36th District (TX-36) — not Texas'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 6.6% of this district's published obligation total ($35,335,000,929.81). Implied average obligation is about $62,834,478.80 ($2,324,875,715.60 ÷ 37). Correlation is not causation.

The Texas 36th District (TX-36) filter on R&D (exc. Biotech)
NAICS 541712 and congressional district TX-36 meet here. $2,324,875,715.60 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 Texas 36th District (TX-36), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split physical from engineering from life-science 541712 work, and it does not split contract versus assistance. 37 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a lab-bench census, a named-principal-investigator file, or a biotechnology (541711/541714) book.
Dividing $2,324,875,715.60 by 37 yields about $62,834,478.80 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 37 awards is a compact R&D file. Principal investigators, lab names, and patent numbers are unpublished. Treat 37 as action records. Do not treat TX-36's 541712 cell as a synonym for every R&D (exc. Biotech) account nationwide. Open Texas 36th District for the district table without this industry filter, NAICS 541712 for NAICS 541712 without a TX-36 filter, Texas federal spending for every industry in the Texas extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $2,324,875,715.60.
The Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) industry rollup
USAspending labels industry 541712 as Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology). That code produced $2,324,875,715.60 when crossed with Texas 36th District (TX-36) place of performance. The industry-wide 541712 hub does not require TX-36 geography. The district hub does not require R&D (exc. Biotech). Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 37 awards. The packet does not split physical from engineering from life-science 541712 work, and it does not split contract versus assistance.
Correlation is not causation: Texas 36th District (TX-36) did not cause $2,324,875,715.60 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 541712 × TX-36 only. This cell is not a lab-bench census, a named-principal-investigator file, or a biotechnology (541711/541714) book. 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 TX-36 stamp
Texas 36th District (TX-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 TX-36 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Texas districts belong on those ties even when the industry is also 541712. Texas 36th District (TX-36) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Texas. Other Texas districts are separate joins even when they reuse NAICS 541712. Texas 36th District (TX-36) already hosts older-code R&D (541710) on a one-row tie in this slice. That vintage is a different NAICS. Do not add the two TX-36 cells.
Texas federal spending shows how NAICS 541712 sits beside other industry codes in the same state extract. $2,324,875,715.60 is one district-industry column, not the state table. This packet does not split Texas 36th District (TX-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 $35,335,000,929.81; $2,324,875,715.60 is the R&D (exc. Biotech) slice of that denominator.
USAspending obligations on this pair
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $2,324,875,715.60 is that kind of sum for Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) inside TX-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 $2,324,875,715.60 as given.
Texas's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 37-row R&D (exc. Biotech) cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 37 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 ($62,834,478.80) is a concentration statistic, not a typical TX-36 R&D (exc. Biotech) payment.
Citing $2,324,875,715.60 without dropping a join side
Cite USAspending.gov: Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) (NAICS 541712) obligated $2,324,875,715.60 on 37 awards coded to Texas 36th District (TX-36). Name Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) and Texas 36th District (TX-36) together. Keep the obligation word. If Texas 36th District or NAICS 541712 has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a lab-bench census, a named-principal-investigator file, or a biotechnology (541711/541714) book. 6.6% of $35,335,000,929.81 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Row count versus dollar concentration
37 awards is a compact R&D file. Principal investigators, lab names, and patent numbers are unpublished. Treat 37 as action records. Biotechnology R&D sits outside 541712 by definition of the code. California 32nd uses 541710, not 541712, in this harvest. Those dollars are not this cell. A large 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 $62,834,478.80) and the district share (6.6% of $35,335,000,929.81) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Texas 36th District and NAICS 541712 if the live tables moved.
Questions
- How much R&D (exc. Biotech) spending is coded to Texas 36th District (TX-36)?
- USAspending.gov lists $2,324,875,715.60 in Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) obligations across 37 awards with place of performance in Texas 36th District (TX-36). NAICS 541712 × TX-36 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Texas's complete federal ledger. The cell is 6.6% of the district's published total ($35,335,000,929.81). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $62,834,478.80, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does $2,324,875,715.60 include every R&D (exc. Biotech) product line in TX-36?
- The packet publishes one NAICS rollup. The packet does not split physical from engineering from life-science 541712 work, and it does not split contract versus assistance. $2,324,875,715.60 is the combined obligation sum for NAICS 541712 inside TX-36 coding. This page will not invent a product pie or name contractors. Open NAICS 541712 and Texas 36th District to inspect parent tables. 37 remains an action count, not a product count.
- Is $2,324,875,715.60 cash already paid in Texas 36th District (TX-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 $2,324,875,715.60 as checks already cleared in Texas 36th District (TX-36) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 37 awards. Prefer the live district and industry hubs if the tables moved.
- Why is the implied average $62,834,478.80 not a typical award?
- The average is $2,324,875,715.60 divided by 37 awards, about $62,834,478.80. 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.
