Department of Defense in Arkansas

What the Defense–Arkansas join is

Awarding agency 097 and place-of-performance state AR meet here. $4,954,201,250 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Defense’s nationwide budget, not Arkansas’s entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. Little Rock Air Force Base folklore and statewide depot stories may send a reader here. Those stories are not packet NAICS and not a base census.

64,491 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a very long award list beside a multi-billion obligation total. A long row list can mix small supply actions with larger instruments. The join does not rank Arkansas against other states and does not name installations inside the extract.

A long Defense award list under one Arkansas filter

Dividing $4,954,201,250 by 64,491 yields about $76,820 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical air-base contract. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows; the listed count is not a unique-recipient census. Base names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars.

Little rock air force base folklore and statewide depot stories is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Agency names and recipient rows live on the overlay table, not in this narrative’s extra columns.
