Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences R&D in California 16th District (CA-16)
$13,457,626,582.45 in USAspending.gov obligations pairs NAICS 541710 (Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences) with California 16th District (CA-16) across 5 awards. The join is NAICS 541710 crossed with a CA-16 place-of-performance field, not California's entire R&D book and not a named-laboratory inventory. The dollars are commitments, not Treasury outlays. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one.
Key figures
- Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (NAICS 541710) × CA-16: $13,457,626,582.45 across 5 awards.
- About 60.0% of the CA-16 district parent $22,416,065,895.60 by arithmetic.
- 5 awards are a row count, not a laboratory or PI census.
- Obligations are not outlays; no fiscal year is in the packet.
- FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell; source is USAspending.gov.
NAICS 541710 × CA-16 is a Central Valley R&D join, not a PI roster
This page is a join: Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (NAICS 541710) as the industry key, and California 16th District (CA-16) as congressional district place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations to $13,457,626,582.45 on 5 awards. The join is NAICS 541710 crossed with a CA-16 place-of-performance field, not California's entire R&D book and not a named-laboratory inventory. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which district received more, and not a claim that 5 awards equal 5 principal investigators or 5 unique laboratories.
CA-12, CA-14, and other 541710 district joins sit outside this total unless they also carry NAICS 541710 and CA-16. Mixing those books into $13,457,626,582.45 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and local scientific employment is not causation. PI names, lab names, and project titles are not in the packet. Place of performance as CA-16 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $13,457,626,582.45 in a district treasury. Merced-versus-Fresno folklore is not a geography split in this packet.
5 awards behind $13.46 billion
Mean obligation is about $2,691,525,316.49 if $13,457,626,582.45 were divided evenly across 5 lines. That ratio is not a published program cost and not a typical grant size. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of laboratories, PIs, or unique vendors. Five awards against a thirteen-billion-dollar cell is a concentrated R&D file, thicker than the one-award 541710 cells and still not a grant dump.
A handful of large research vehicles can dominate the dollars. This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open California 16th District for the stored district table. Do not convert 5 into a map of California 16th District laboratories. The $13,457,626,582.45 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on the overlay rather than inferring a PI census.
California 16th District, not a statewide science rollup
California 16th District (CA-16) is one geography tag on USAspending awards, not a commuting zone and not a metro list. Awards tagged to CA-13, CA-21, or another California district are out even if the laboratory work sounds related. Recipient address can differ from that district tag. The district parent in this extract is $22,416,065,895.60 across every industry; $13,457,626,582.45 is the Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences slice — about 60.0% of that parent by arithmetic. Subtracting is tempting; this page still does not publish the leftover NAICS list.
A statewide R&D figure on California federal spending is a different shelf. Do not rank CA-16 against neighboring districts as a winner or loser. Other California district cells are other joins. California federal spending is the statewide book without a district filter. Adding statewide Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences dollars to $13,457,626,582.45 would double count. Campaign-finance filings are a different public-record system; this join does not claim donations funded these obligations.
NAICS 541710 obligations are not papers already published
Physical-sciences R&D awards often obligate as large research vehicles. The $13,457,626,582.45 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of experiments already completed and not a Treasury outlay total. A university or laboratory R&D dashboard dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses NAICS 541710, CA-16 geography, and the obligation metric.
NAICS 541710 is the nationwide industry book without a CA-16 filter. This extract does not split physics from engineering from life sciences, and it does not merge CA-12 or CA-14 541710 dollars into this cell. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 5 awards, NAICS 541710, and California 16th District. This page will not invent a share. Unique recipients remain unpublished.
What the CA-16 541710 table omits
The extract has no laboratory names, PI names, or project titles. Facts remain $13,457,626,582.45, 5 awards, NAICS 541710, Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences, California 16th District (CA-16), and district parent $22,416,065,895.60. Central Valley science folklore belongs on another extract if it appears at all. Keep the obligation label. Later ingests can revise both the dollars and the 5-award count; prefer the live table when the overlay and this snapshot diverge.
Where the 541710 × CA-16 pair lives
Start with California 16th District for the district rollup that contains this Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences cell. NAICS 541710 is the nationwide NAICS 541710 listing. California federal spending gives California context without a CA-16 filter. All spending ties indexes other two-key joins on the same obligation metric. Five awards totaling this cell remain an administrative file, not a laboratory roster. Keep both Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences and California 16th District (CA-16) in every citation sentence. Do not recast $13,457,626,582.45 as cash already paid or as California's entire research appropriation. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join. FEC contribution tables do not fund this cell.
Questions
- How much physical-sciences R&D spending is obligated in California 16th District?
- USAspending.gov shows $13,457,626,582.45 in Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (NAICS 541710) obligations with California 16th District (CA-16) as place of performance, across 5 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the district's full $22,416,065,895.60 parent. Other NAICS codes sit outside this join unless they also carry 541710.
- Do 5 awards mean 5 laboratories in CA-16?
- No. Award count is a row count of NAICS 541710 actions tagged to CA-16. Five rows are not a lab census. Unique recipients are unpublished. Mean obligation of about $2,691,525,316.49 is a quotient of $13,457,626,582.45 and 5.
- Does this CA-16 R&D cell include CA-12 physical-sciences R&D?
- No. CA-12 is a different place-of-performance join on the same NAICS. $13,457,626,582.45 is about 60.0% of the California 16th District parent $22,416,065,895.60 by arithmetic. Cite USAspending.gov as the source.
- Is the CA-16 541710 total already paid as outlays?
- Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $13,457,626,582.45 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Drawdowns and remaining balances are not published here. Cite USAspending.gov as the source.
