Department of Defense in Alaska

What the DoD–Alaska join is

Awarding agency 097 and place-of-performance state AK meet here. $11,517,809,954.54 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Defense’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Alaska, and not an outlay register. Military departments and defense agencies can roll up under awarding agency 097. This join does not split Army, Navy, Air Force, or other Defense components. 8,065 is a mid-size action file: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Dividing $11,517,809,954.54 by 8,065 yields about $1.43 million per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line, and it is not a named base budget, not a contractor roster, and not a force-structure table. A second DoD slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Alaska’s 097 cell as a synonym for every DoD account.

Open Department of Defense in Alaska for the live filtered table, Alaska federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Defense for agency 097 without a Alaska filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $11,517,809,954.54.

Awarding agency 097 as the DoD side

USAspending labels awarding agency 097 as Department of Defense. That code produced $11,517,809,954.54 when crossed with Alaska place of performance. The agency-wide 097 hub does not require AK geography. The Alaska hub does not require DoD. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 8,065 awards.

This page reports defense awarding activity that USAspending coded to Alaska. Correlation is not causation: Alaska did not “cause” $11,517,809,954.54 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 097 × AK only. Military departments and defense agencies can roll up under awarding agency 097. This join does not split Army, Navy, Air Force, or other Defense components.

Questions

How much DoD spending is coded to Alaska?

USAspending.gov lists $11,517,809,954.54 in Department of Defense obligations across 8,065 Alaska-coded awards. Agency 097 × AK is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Alaska’s complete federal ledger. Department of Defense in Alaska is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $1.43 million, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does this total include every DoD program in Alaska?

This page will not invent a program pie. Open Department of Defense in Alaska to inspect award lines. 8,065 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $11,517,809,954.54 cash already paid in Alaska?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $11,517,809,954.54 as checks already cleared in Alaska confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 8,065 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
