Small Business Administration (073) federal obligations in California

Awarding-agency 073 meeting California

Small Business Administration as awarding agency, California as place-of-performance: 47,838 records summing to $113,786,640.98. A Small Business Administration award coded outside CA is out. An award in California from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. California (CA) excludes Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona. A Reno-coded award is Nevada even if the borrower sits near the border.

Forty-seven thousand eight hundred thirty-eight awards against $113,786,640.98 is a thick action file: many rows, a modest implied mean, not a handful of oversized vehicles. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 47,838 as 47,838 unique small businesses, named borrowers, or guaranteed-loan counts as a firm census. Small Business Administration in California is the both-keys table. California federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Small Business Administration is the agency book without a CA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Loan-action rows are not unique firms

$113,786,640.98 does not measure unique small businesses, named borrowers, or guaranteed-loan counts as a firm census. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 073 and a CA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 47,838 awards as a census of unique small businesses, named borrowers, or guaranteed-loan counts as a firm census. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If California federal spending or Small Business Administration matched $113,786,640.98 and 47,838, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Nevada, Oregon, and Arizona SBA 073 joins are other pairs, not addends.

California statewide, not a Bay Area-only map

Place of performance CA is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. California (CA) excludes Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona. A Reno-coded award is Nevada even if the borrower sits near the border. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $113,786,640.98 by city, county, or named facility. 47,838 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

A thick 073 file still records obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $113,786,640.98 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in California confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Citing SBA 073 × California

Cite USAspending.gov: Small Business Administration (agency 073) obligated $113,786,640.98 on 47,838 awards coded to California. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as unique small businesses, named borrowers, or guaranteed-loan counts as a firm census.

Prefer Small Business Administration in California if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. California federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to CA. Small Business Administration is the 073 parent without the CA filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $113,786,640.98.

A usable footnote names Small Business Administration, California, $113,786,640.98, and 47,838. The compact headline $113.8M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $2,379 is $113,786,640.98 divided by 47,838. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system. Borrower names, loan programs, and metro shares are unpublished on this packet.

What Small Business × California is not

The pair is Small Business Administration and California, not unique small businesses, named borrowers, or guaranteed-loan counts as a firm census. Borrower names, loan programs, and metro shares are unpublished on this packet. FEC contribution tables are a different public-record system; donations do not fund these USAspending obligations even when they share a geography. Keep the citation narrow: agency 073, place-of-performance CA, $113,786,640.98, 47,838 awards, obligations only.
