Sources: USAspending.gov. Local recipients’ states come from their own USAspending profiles, not the subaward’s filed location, which usually names the state agency that passed the money on. Recipient types come from the award’s description where it has been read, otherwise from the recipient’s name; a plain city or county name (which could be its police department or its lab) has none. Purposes and equipment are read from each award’s own description.
