Physical/Engineering/Life R&D (ex-nano/bio) in Colorado 7th (CO-07)

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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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.

Reading the CO-07 stamp

Colorado 7th District (CO-07) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list CO-07 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Colorado districts belong on those ties even when the industry is also NAICS 541715. Colorado 7th District (CO-07) is not Colorado 6th. Colorado 6th uses 541712, not 541715.

/states/co/ shows how NAICS 541715 sits beside other industries in the same state extract. $3,724,615,667.87 is one district-industry column, not the state table. This packet does not split Colorado 7th District (CO-07) 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 Nanotechnology And Biotechnology). The district-wide obligation total published here is $27,819,068,200.99; $3,724,615,667.87 is the R&D (ex-nano/bio) slice of that denominator.

USAspending obligations on this pair

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $3,724,615,667.87 is that kind of sum for Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Nanotechnology And Biotechnology) inside CO-07 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 NAICS rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $3,724,615,667.87 as given.

Colorado's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 131-row R&D (ex-nano/bio) cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 131 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 ($28,432,180.67) is a concentration statistic, not a typical CO-07 R&D (ex-nano/bio) payment.

Citing $3,724,615,667.87 without dropping a join side

Cite USAspending.gov: Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Nanotechnology And Biotechnology) (NAICS 541715) obligated $3,724,615,667.87 on 131 awards coded to Colorado 7th District (CO-07). Name Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Nanotechnology And Biotechnology) and Colorado 7th District (CO-07) together. Keep the obligation word. If /districts/CO-07/ or /industries/541715/ has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a laboratory census, a named-PI list, or a grant-title catalog. 13.4% of $27,819,068,200.99 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Row count versus dollar concentration

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 add CO-07's 541715 and 336414 dollars. Different industry keys, same geography, separate ties. A large row count makes a program 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 $28,432,180.67) and the district share (13.4% of $27,819,068,200.99) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer /districts/CO-07/ and /industries/541715/ if the live tables moved. Cite 541715 and CO-07 together. Missile-and-space-vehicle manufacturing stays on its own CO-07 page.

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.
