Department of Defense in California

What the Defense–California join is

Awarding agency 097 and place-of-performance state CA meet here. $287,010,885,283 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not DoD’s worldwide total, not California’s entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. Aerospace and naval folklore may send a reader here; those stories are not packet NAICS.

353,990 is a large action count. Modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique vendors are not published here. Dividing $287,010,885,283 by 353,990 yields about $810,788 per award on average. The join does not rank California against other states.

Agency 097 as the awarding side

USAspending labels awarding agency 097 as Department of Defense. That code produced $287,010,885,283 when crossed with California place of performance. The agency-wide 097 page does not require CA geography. The California hub does not require Defense. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 353,990 awards.

A second Defense slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat California’s 097 total as a synonym for every DoD account. HHS and SSA California joins on this site are separate filters.
