Kansas’s stock, New Hampshire’s intensity and recency

Kansas’s $2.91B is the larger stacked total. New Hampshire’s $2.48B sits on 1,409,032 residents against 2,970,606. Intensity therefore favors New Hampshire: $284.15 per capita versus $67.40. Headcount sets Kansas’s stock lead; it does not set the ratio.

Award volume follows headcount. Kansas records 71,423 awards; New Hampshire records 9,224. Kansas’s file is dense in rows on a larger stock. New Hampshire’s 9,224 actions sit on $2.48B beside the $284.15 reading.

Computer systems design services versus small arms, ordnance, and ordnance accessories manufacturing is mix. Census counts of 2,970,606 and 1,409,032 already sit in the packet. Outlays are not listed. Cite USAspending.gov.

Systems design versus small arms and ordnance

Kansas’s lead NAICS is computer systems design services. New Hampshire’s lead NAICS is small arms, ordnance, and ordnance accessories manufacturing. Those peaks sit on $2.91B and $2.48B.

The 71,423 Kansas awards and 9,224 New Hampshire awards include many actions outside those labels. Use the Kansas and New Hampshire state hubs for agencies and recipients. Both peaks are USAspending.gov obligation mixes.

FY2026: $200.2M versus $400.4M

Fiscal year 2026 obligations are $200.2M in Kansas and $400.4M in New Hampshire. Recency does not preserve Kansas’s stacked dollar lead. Treat the year as a recency slice of obligations, not as Treasury cash.

Do not divide $200.2M or $400.4M by 71,423 or 9,224 all-years awards. Spending per capita of $67.40 and $284.15 already sits beside Census counts of 2,970,606 and 1,409,032.

Plains volume versus a sparse New England stock

Kansas’s 71,423 awards on $2.91B against New Hampshire’s 9,224 awards on $2.48B is a volume-versus-intensity split. New Hampshire’s $284.15 per capita on 1,409,032 residents exceeds Kansas’s $67.40 on 2,970,606. Both stocks are USAspending.gov obligations.

Computer systems design services lead Kansas. Small arms, ordnance, and ordnance accessories manufacturing lead New Hampshire. FY2026 of $200.2M versus $400.4M favors New Hampshire on recency.

An obligation is a commitment. Outlays can lag. Do not treat $2.91B or $2.48B as cash already paid.

Why 9,224 awards can still sit on $2.48B

Award count is a row total, not average size. New Hampshire’s sparse file still produces a $2.48B stock and a $400.4M FY2026 slice. Kansas’s busier file produces $2.91B stacked and $200.2M in FY2026.
