Washington District 90 (non-voting)

Unmapped Washington work in one code

When USAspending can place work in Washington but cannot attach a numbered congressional district, the record can land in District 90. In FY2024 those records summed to $76.2 billion in obligations. The award count is 8,901.

That is a residual geography, not a constituency. Washington’s voting map uses numbered districts. Comparing this $76.2 billion with District 07 or District 04 as if all three were interchangeable House seats will misstate representation and hide the mapping gap.

Eight thousand nine hundred one awards

The 8,901 count is a FY2024 record count. Unique vendors are not in the packet. The obligation dollars on those records total $76.2 billion. A shorter residual file can still hold large commitments.

The packet does not name those commitments. The Washington District 90 hub is the table to sort. First year and last year are both 2024, so the count is a single-year stock.

Questions

What is the FY2024 USAspending total for Washington District 90?

USAspending.gov records $76.2 billion in FY2024 obligations for Washington District 90 place of performance, across 8,901 awards. District 90 is an unspecified or non-voting bucket. The figures are obligations, not outlays, for FY2024 only. Treat Washington District 90 as a residual USAspending geography code for FY2024, with $76.2 billion in obligations on 8,901 awards, not as a constituency voters elect.

Is Washington District 90 a real congressional district?

Not a voting one. USAspending codes 90 and 98 are unspecified or non-voting place-of-performance buckets. Washington District 90 collects awards placed in Washington that were not mapped to a numbered House district. The $76.2 billion is that residual total. Treat Washington District 90 as a residual USAspending geography code for FY2024, with $76.2 billion in obligations on 8,901 awards, not as a constituency voters elect.

Does $76.2 billion mean cash paid in Washington?

No. It is the sum of FY2024 obligations on 8,901 awards coded to Washington District 90. Outlays are payments and are not this district total. Commitments can pay out on a later schedule. USAspending district totals on SpendingVault are obligations, so the $76.2 billion FY2024 figure is a commitment stock on 8,901 awards, not a disbursement total for Washington.

If a company is headquartered in Washington, is it in District 90?

Only if place of performance is coded WA-90. Headquarters in Washington is not the district field. Numbered-district performance and out-of-state performance will not sit in this 8,901-award file. Only the place-of-performance code puts an award in this $76.2 billion FY2024 rollup; a Washington office address is neither required nor enough to enter the 8,901 records.
