Small Business Administration (073) federal obligations in Texas

Awarding-agency 073 meeting Texas

Small Business Administration as awarding agency, Texas as place-of-performance: 35,831 records summing to $88,714,144.19. A Small Business Administration award coded outside TX is out. An award in Texas from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Texas (TX) excludes Oklahoma, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Arkansas. A Shreveport-coded award is Louisiana even if the borrower sits in East Texas.

Thirty-five thousand eight hundred thirty-one awards against $88,714,144.19 is a thick action file: between New York’s 17,001-row 073 cell and California’s 47,838. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 35,831 as 35,831 unique small businesses, named borrowers, or a firm census. Small Business Administration in Texas is the both-keys table. Texas federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Small Business Administration is the agency book without a TX filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This slug is the Texas × agency-073 duplicate. Code 073 is the disambiguator. Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, and the border share one TX stamp. Named borrowers are unpublished. This slug is the Texas × agency-073 duplicate. Code 073 belongs in the title and heading. Shared display names do not merge 073 with another awarding code that uses the same agency label. Correlation is not causation: Texas did not cause $88,714,144.19 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 073 × TX only.

Thirty-five thousand rows are not unique firms

$88,714,144.19 does not measure unique small businesses, named borrowers, or a firm census. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 073 and a TX place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 35,831 awards as a census of unique small businesses, named borrowers, or a firm census. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Texas federal spending or Small Business Administration matched $88,714,144.19 and 35,831, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Oklahoma, Louisiana, and New Mexico SBA 073 joins are other pairs, not addends.

Texas statewide, not a two-metro borrower map

Place of performance TX is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Texas (TX) excludes Oklahoma, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Arkansas. A Shreveport-coded award is Louisiana even if the borrower sits in East Texas. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $88,714,144.19 by city, county, or named facility. 35,831 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

A thick 073 file still means commitments

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $88,714,144.19 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Texas confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Texas’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 35,831-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $88,714,144.19.

How to cite SBA 073 × Texas

Cite USAspending.gov: Small Business Administration (agency 073) obligated $88,714,144.19 on 35,831 awards coded to Texas. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as unique small businesses, named borrowers, or a firm census.

Prefer Small Business Administration in Texas if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Texas federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to TX. Small Business Administration is the 073 parent without the TX filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $88,714,144.19.

A usable footnote names Small Business Administration, Texas, $88,714,144.19, and 35,831. The compact headline $88.7M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $2,476 is $88,714,144.19 divided by 35,831. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system. Borrower names, loan programs, and metro shares are unpublished on this packet.
