Department of Homeland Security federal obligations

$391.4 billion on 88,694 DHS awards

The exact obligation total is $391,393,534,450.98. Divided by 88,694 awards, the implied mean is about $4.41 million per award. Disaster grants, border and aviation contracts, and other multi-year vehicles occupy the right tail; smaller purchases occupy the left. The packet does not break the 88,694 rows by component, so FEMA, CBP, or Coast Guard shares are not stated here.

Fiscal year 2026 is the latest year on the packet. Supplemental disaster actions posted after this extract can move both the $391,393,534,450.98 total and the award count. USAspending.gov is the source indexed on SpendingVault.

That mix is the research takeaway from the two packet facts together. 88,694 awards at a mean near $4.41 million fit operational contracts and disaster assistance rather than millions of small loans. A later extract can change both the dollar total and the award count as supplemental disaster actions inside FY 2026 can move both dollars and the 88,694 count.

CGAC 070 as the awarding-agency identifier

SpendingVault’s DHS hub is /agencies/070/. CGAC 070 is the Common Government-wide Accounting Classification code USAspending uses for the Department of Homeland Security as awarding agency. Child components may appear on individual records while still rolling into $391,393,534,450.98. The 88,694 figure is a record count, not a count of incidents, ports, or disaster declarations.

Obligations versus disaster outlays

A disaster grant can obligate when awarded and outlay as subrecipients draw funds. The $391,393,534,450.98 USAspending total is the obligation side through FY 2026. Matching it to a FEMA disaster-relief outlay table will not produce the same number. This guide does not invent an outlay figure or a declaration count.

Researchers sometimes treat an agency obligation total as cash already paid. For Department of Homeland Security, that reading is wrong. FEMA disaster-relief outlays, a declaration count, or component budgets for CBP or the Coast Guard belong in other publications. The USAspending figure on this hub remains an obligation sum through FY 2026. Supplemental disaster actions inside FY 2026 can move both dollars and the 88,694 count.

Place-of-performance geography

The state table for CGAC 070 follows place-of-performance fields. A nationwide IT contract coded to the National Capital Region can concentrate a slice of $391,393,534,450.98 in one state, while disaster assistance spreads across declared areas. Read the geography as award coding. The parent population is 88,694 awards through FY 2026.

Place-of-performance is a coding field, not a complete economic-impact model. On this agency, a nationwide IT contract coded to the National Capital Region can sit beside disaster grants spread across declared areas. Read the state table after the agency hub, not instead of it. Stay on CGAC 070; component shares are not in this packet.

Limits of the DHS ranking

On the all-agencies list, compare $391,393,534,450.98 and 88,694 awards only with other obligation totals from this extract and the same FY 2026 cap. The hub does not score preparedness and does not name classified programs beyond what the public award file contains.

The all-agencies list is useful only inside this extract’s obligation definition and FY 2026 cap. 88,694 awards at a mean near $4.41 million fit operational contracts and disaster assistance rather than millions of small loans. Ranking on dollars alone hides that mix. Stay on CGAC 070; component shares are not in this packet.

Reading DHS without inventing component splits

The extract gives $391,393,534,450.98 on 88,694 awards under CGAC 070 through FY 2026. FEMA, CBP, and other component shares are not facts on this packet. Citing them would invent numbers.

Disaster grants can obligate when awarded and outlay as subrecipients draw. The $391,393,534,450.98 figure is the obligation side. Use the state table as place-of-performance coding, not as a map of incidents. CGAC 070 is the awarding-agency identifier on every row in this rollup, and the overlay path stays /agencies/070/. The award population is 88,694 records. Those rows still sum to the same obligation total through fiscal year 2026. Readers who need place-of-performance should open the state table from that hub; readers who need peer context should open the all-agencies list. Neither view converts obligations into outlays. CGAC 070 is the awarding-agency identifier on every row in this rollup, and the overlay path stays /agencies/070/. The award population is 88,694 records. Those rows still sum to the same obligation total through fiscal year 2026. Readers who need place-of-performance should open the state table from that hub; readers who need peer context should open the all-agencies list. Neither view converts obligations into outlays.
