The NAICS 541715 × CO-07 cell on USAspending.gov is $3,724,615,667.87 in obligations across 131 awards. One hundred thirty-one except-nanotechnology-and-biotechnology R&D rows cover about thirteen percent of Colorado 7th. The same district's 336414 missile join is a manufacturing cell on ten rows, not this research code. That pair is Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Nanotechnology And Biotechnology) (NAICS 541715) and Colorado 7th District (CO-07) — not Colorado's entire federal inflow, not NAICS 541715 nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 13.4% of this district's published obligation total ($27,819,068,200.99). Implied average obligation is about $28,432,180.67 ($3,724,615,667.87 ÷ 131). The packet does not publish a fiscal year on this join. Correlation is not causation.
Key figures
- R&D (ex-nano/bio) in Colorado 7th District (CO-07): $3,724,615,667.87 across 131 USAspending awards (NAICS 541715).
- Implied mean about $28,432,180.67 per record; district share 13.4% of $27,819,068,200.99.
- NAICS 541715 × CO-07 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a named-recipient list.
- Cite USAspending.gov; quote /districts/CO-07/ and /industries/541715/ if live tables moved.
- /states/co/ and /ties/ are a parent and an index, not amounts to add into $3,724,615,667.87.
The Colorado 7th District (CO-07) filter on R&D (ex-nano/bio)
Congressional district CO-07 and NAICS 541715 meet here. $3,724,615,667.87 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 Nanotechnology And Biotechnology)'s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Colorado 7th District (CO-07), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split physical versus engineering versus life sciences, or contract versus assistance. 131 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a laboratory census, a named-PI list, or a grant-title catalog.
Dividing $3,724,615,667.87 by 131 yields about $28,432,180.67 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 131 awards is a moderate R&D file, thinner than MD-03's 887-row 541715 cell and close to MD-06's 167. Do not treat CO-07's 541715 cell as a synonym for every R&D (ex-nano/bio) account nationwide. Open /districts/CO-07/ (Colorado 7th District) for the district table without this NAICS filter, /industries/541715/ (NAICS 541715) for NAICS 541715 without a CO-07 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 $3,724,615,667.87.
The R&D in the physical, engineering, and life sciences (except nanotechnology and biotechnology) rollup
USAspending labels NAICS 541715 as Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Nanotechnology And Biotechnology). That code produced $3,724,615,667.87 when crossed with Colorado 7th District (CO-07) place of performance. The industry-wide 541715 hub does not require CO-07 geography. The district hub does not require R&D (ex-nano/bio). Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 131 awards. The packet does not split physical versus engineering versus life sciences, or contract versus assistance.
Correlation is not causation: Colorado 7th District (CO-07) did not cause $3,724,615,667.87 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 541715 × CO-07 only. This cell is not a laboratory census, a named-PI list, or a grant-title catalog. 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.

Questions
- How much R&D (ex-nano/bio) spending is coded to Colorado 7th District (CO-07)?
- USAspending.gov lists $3,724,615,667.87 in Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Nanotechnology And Biotechnology) obligations across 131 awards with place of performance in Colorado 7th District (CO-07). NAICS 541715 × CO-07 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Colorado's complete federal ledger. The cell is 13.4% of the district's published total ($27,819,068,200.99). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $28,432,180.67, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does $3,724,615,667.87 include every R&D (ex-nano/bio) program in CO-07?
- The packet publishes one NAICS rollup. The packet does not split physical versus engineering versus life sciences, or contract versus assistance. $3,724,615,667.87 is the combined obligation sum for NAICS 541715 inside CO-07 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open /industries/541715/ and /districts/CO-07/ to inspect parent tables. 131 remains an action count, not a program count.
- Is $3,724,615,667.87 cash already paid in Colorado 7th District (CO-07)?
- 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 $3,724,615,667.87 as checks already cleared in Colorado 7th District (CO-07) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 131 awards. Prefer the live district and industry hubs if the tables moved.
- Why is the implied average $28,432,180.67 not a typical award?
- The average is $3,724,615,667.87 divided by 131 awards, about $28,432,180.67. 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.
