Smithsonian Institution federal obligations in New York

Institution 3300 overlapping New York

Smithsonian Institution as awarding agency, New York as place-of-performance: 180 records summing to $60,449,059.20. A Smithsonian Institution award coded outside NY is out. An award in New York from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. New York (NY) excludes Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont. A Buffalo-coded award with a Pennsylvania place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

180 awards against $60,449,059.20 is a 180-award Smithsonian file, thicker in records than the dollar total might suggest. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 180 as 180 unique museum attendance, exhibit counts, or named collection objects. Smithsonian Institution in New York is the both-keys table. New York federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Smithsonian Institution is the agency book without an NY filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Named museums, exhibit counts, and collection objects stay unpublished. Do not invent contractor or gallery names. Correlation is not causation: New York did not cause $60,449,059.20 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 3300 × NY only.

Smithsonian is not an attendance census

$60,449,059.20 does not measure museum attendance, exhibit counts, or named collection objects. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 3300 and an NY place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 180 awards as a census of museum attendance, exhibit counts, or named collection objects. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If New York federal spending or Smithsonian Institution matched $60,449,059.20 and 180, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state Smithsonian joins are other pairs, not addends.

New York statewide, not a borough list

Place of performance NY is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. New York (NY) excludes Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont. A New York City-coded award with a New Jersey place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $60,449,059.20 by city, county, or named facility. 180 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

One hundred eighty obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $60,449,059.20 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in New York confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

New York’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 180 awards USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $60,449,059.20. Sharing a geography with Smithsonian Institution does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing Smithsonian in New York

Cite USAspending.gov: Smithsonian Institution (agency 3300) obligated $60,449,059.20 on 180 awards coded to New York. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as museum attendance, exhibit counts, or named collection objects.

Prefer Smithsonian Institution in New York if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. New York federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NY. Smithsonian Institution is the 3300 parent without the NY filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $60,449,059.20.

A usable footnote names Smithsonian Institution, New York, $60,449,059.20, and 180. The compact headline $60.4M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $335,828.11 is $60,449,059.20 divided by 180. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

Museum dollars without a named-object roster

New York’s Smithsonian overlay is 180 awards totaling $60,449,059.20. Named museums, exhibit counts, and collection objects stay unpublished. Do not invent contractor or gallery names. Adding parent hubs into $60,449,059.20 would invent a combined New York total. Keep 3300 × NY as the pair.
