Department of Defense in Colorado

Defense and Colorado as a two-field filter

Keep awarding agency 097 and place-of-performance CO; sum obligations. The result in this harvest is $56,584,465,653.27 across 49,840 awards. That is the entire claim. It is not a count of bases, not a payroll, and not Colorado’s full federal total.

Forty-nine thousand eight hundred forty awards is fewer than some coastal Defense joins and more than many civilian agency–state files. About $1.14 million per award sits between the very high-count New York-style Defense means and the grant-heavy HHS means. That placement is descriptive of this row, not a ranking.

49,840 award records and $56,584,465,653.27 are the only two published facts that define this pair. Subtracting either key changes the number. The mean is arithmetic on those two facts. Readers who need a distribution have to leave this narrative for the overlay table.

Code 097 is not code 028

Department of Defense is the label on 097. Social Security Administration is 028. Both appear with Colorado place of performance in this inventory, and each has its own obligation total. Adding them on this page would invent a combined figure the packet does not publish. The overlay for this pair is /states/co/agencies/097/.

The Department of Defense agency hub drops the Colorado filter. The Colorado state hub drops the 097 filter. Neither hub equals $56,584,465,653.27.

The architecture is simple. One hub is the agency without geography. One hub is the geography without this agency. One overlay is both. $56,584,465,653.27 and 49,840 belong to the overlay. The hubs answer different questions.

Questions

How much has the Department of Defense obligated in Colorado?

USAspending records $56,584,465,653.27 in obligations for agency 097 with Colorado place of performance, on 49,840 awards. That is the Defense–Colorado join, not an outlay total. The pair is awarding agency 097 (Department of Defense) and place-of-performance Colorado. It is not Department of Defense nationwide and not Colorado from every awarding agency.

Is Colorado’s SSA total included?

No. Social Security Administration is a different awarding-agency overlay. This page is Department of Defense 097 only: $56,584,465,653.27 on 49,840 awards. Only place-of-performance Colorado plus awarding agency 097 (Department of Defense) enter $56,584,465,653.27. Adjacent state codes are other filters, if they exist as ties at all.

What is the average award size?

About $1.14 million ($56,584,465,653.27 ÷ 49,840). The mean mixes vehicles and is not a typical contract. That ratio uses only $56,584,465,653.27 and 49,840 from the packet. A mean hides mix: a few large instruments can sit beside many smaller ones.

Does place of performance list bases?

This aggregate is a state code (CO) plus an agency code (097). Installation names are not in the facts. The $56,584,465,653.27 total follows those two fields only. The facts are agency 097 and place-of-performance Colorado totaling $56,584,465,653.27 on 49,840 awards.
