Department of Homeland Security in Alaska

DHS awards tagged to Alaska

Department of Homeland Security as awarding agency, Alaska as place-of-performance: 857 records summing to $1,996,508,983.48. A Department of Homeland Security award coded outside AK is out. An award in Alaska from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Alaska (AK) is the place-of-performance key. Awards coded to Washington or other Lower 48 tags are other cells even when a Seattle office later supports an Alaska mission. FEMA, CBP, Coast Guard, TSA, and other DHS components are unpublished splits inside awarding agency 070.

Eight hundred fifty-seven awards against $1,996,508,983.48 is a mid-thin DHS file: fewer rows than Hawaii DHS in this slice, a higher implied mean. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 857 as 857 unique Coast Guard billets, FEMA declarations, or unique contractors. The overlay Department of Homeland Security in Alaska is the both-keys table. Alaska federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Homeland Security is the agency book without an AK filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, and rural census areas share one AK stamp. Arctic-mission folklore is not a published share of $1,996,508,983.48. Correlation is not causation: Alaska did not “cause” $1,996,508,983.48 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 070 × AK only.

Not a Coast Guard roster or Arctic event list

$1,996,508,983.48 does not measure Coast Guard billets, FEMA declarations, or unique contractors. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 070 and an AK place-of-performance tag. FEMA, CBP, Coast Guard, TSA, and other DHS components are unpublished splits inside awarding agency 070.

Do not treat 857 awards as a census of Coast Guard billets, FEMA declarations, or unique contractors. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Alaska federal spending or Department of Homeland Security matched $1,996,508,983.48 and 857, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Washington and other Pacific DHS joins are other pairs, not addends.
