Same aircraft family, different dollar stocks

These figures are USAspending.gov obligations, not Treasury outlays. Georgia’s $9.7B stock sits about $4.2 billion above Oklahoma’s $5.5B. Place of performance in the award file is the scoring rule. The pair is useful because the top NAICS labels sit in the same aircraft-manufacturing family even while scale, people, and rows diverge.

Georgia logs 278,028 awards on $9.7B. Oklahoma logs 50,460 awards on $5.5B. Oklahoma’s thinner file on a still-large stock implies a heavier typical booking. Georgia’s busier file on a larger stock is consistent with more actions, not necessarily smaller ones. The $9.7B versus $5.5B ranking is a dollar ranking, not a row ranking.

Georgia’s 278,028 awards on $9,693,034,475 versus Oklahoma’s 50,460 awards on $5,456,947,205 is a scale gap inside one aircraft-manufacturing family. People of 11,180,878 versus 4,095,393 produce $95.66 versus $205.98. FY2026 of $1,069,558,753 versus $843,573,742 stays with Georgia by a smaller ratio than the stacked ranking. Finished aircraft versus parts is mix. Related NAICS labels are not interchangeable files.

Oklahoma’s $205.98 versus Georgia’s $95.66

Georgia’s 11,180,878 residents against $9.7B produce $95.66 per capita. Oklahoma’s 4,095,393 residents against $5.5B produce $205.98. Intensity in Oklahoma is more than double Georgia’s even though Georgia holds the much larger stacked total.

A $205.98 per-person reading is an intensity fact attached to $5.5B, not a household payment. Georgia’s $95.66 is attached to $9.7B. This table scores USAspending place of performance, not GDP. Georgia can lead stacked dollars while trailing on a per-resident basis because 11,180,878 people spread $9.7B more thinly than 4,095,393 people spread $5.5B.
