New Jersey 2nd District

67,404 awards on a thick NJ-02 file

67,404 is the FY2024 record count for NJ-02 place of performance beside $6.9B. A file this thick usually mixes contracts, assistance actions, and modifications; each can add a line. The packet does not publish unique recipients, so 67,404 is not a vendor census of New Jersey. A high award count does not by itself prove many small actions or a few large ones — this packet has no size table.

Do not divide $6.9B by 67,404. That quotient is not in the packet. Keep the dollar total and the row count as separate facts and use the New Jersey District 02 hub to inspect lines. Modifications can add rows without turning the extract into a unique-firm list. First year and last year are both 2024.

Place of performance, not a 2nd-district HQ roster

USAspending.gov tags NJ-02 by where performance is recorded. Work performed in the 2nd district can land inside $6.9B even if the contractor is headquartered in another New Jersey seat or another state. Work performed outside the 2nd does not enter this extract merely because a firm has a local office.

Even for a numbered New Jersey seat, the district field is still place of performance, not recipient headquarters. A 2nd-district headquarters can post dollars to another district when performance is coded there. The 67,404 rows follow that field, not the contractor’s legal address. Recipient-location maps are a different cut from this $6.9B file.

Questions

Why does New Jersey District 02 list 67,404 awards?

67,404 is the FY2024 record count for NJ-02 place of performance. A thick file usually includes contracts, assistance actions, and modifications, each of which can add a row. The matching obligation total is $6.9B ($6,937,931,545.03). The packet does not publish unique recipients, so 67,404 is not a firm headcount.

Is NJ-02 New Jersey’s unspecified 90 district?

No. District 90 is the unspecified leftover. District 98 is the non-voting bucket. NJ-02 is numbered District 02, a voting House seat. At-large 00 is not this page. Keep $6.9B and 67,404 awards on the mapped 2nd hub. Do not add 90/98 rows into this total.

Does NJ-02 spending mean the recipient is based in the 2nd?

No. Congressional district here is place of performance. Recipients based outside the 2nd can still appear if the work is tagged NJ-02. A 2nd-district headquarters can map dollars elsewhere when performance is coded to another seat. 67,404 awards follow the performance field, not HQ.

Is $6.9B the amount paid out in New Jersey District 02?

No. $6.9B is an obligation sum from FY2024 award records. Outlays are disbursements and can lag. SpendingVault does not convert the New Jersey District 02 obligation total into Treasury outlays. Cite $6.9B with the obligation label, FY2024, and NJ-02 place of performance.
