Alaska place of performance and Department of Health and Human Services awarding agency 075 sum to $29,426,075,610.98 in USAspending.gov obligations on 2,838 awards. $29,426,075,610.98 ÷ 2,838 is about $10.37 million per award. That thin-to-mid HHS file is not a tribal-health map and not a village-clinic census — those geographies are not in the facts. Obligations are not outlays. Alaska is not lumped with Washington in this join.

HHS crossed with Alaska, not with the Pacific Northwest
The pair is 075 × AK. $29,426,075,610.98 is the obligation sum. 2,838 is the award count. Place of performance Alaska excludes Washington, Oregon, and Hawaii. HHS awards coded to those states are outside this total even when the work is described as regional.
About $10.37 million per award is the ratio. Indian Health Service, Medicaid, and other labels are not in the packet, so they are not assigned shares of $29,426,075,610.98.
$29,426,075,610.98 can look inevitable once it is printed in a headline. It is not. It is the sum of records that happen to carry both tags, 2,838 of them in this harvest. A different coding of place of performance would change the sum. So would a different awarding-agency code.
Agency 075 without Alaska
