Department of Defense in District of Columbia

Defense in the District, not HHS in the District

This pair is 097 × DC. $30,990,522,913.42 is the Defense obligation sum. 16,637 is the Defense award count. Department of Health and Human Services in the District of Columbia is a separate tie with a different awarding-agency code. The two totals are not added here.

About $1.86 million per award is the ratio. Headquarters concentration can produce administrative awards coded to DC even when performance later occurs elsewhere. That is a reason to read the geography field narrowly.

The temptation is to narrate $30,990,522,913.42 as money delivered to residents, then to narrate 16,637 as people served. Neither translation is in the fields. Obligations are commitments. Award count is records. The overlay, not the average, is the next step for anyone who needs rows.

Agency 097 without the District filter

The Department of Defense hub drops DC and will not equal $30,990,522,913.42. The District hub drops 097 and includes civilian awarding agencies. Overlay /states/dc/agencies/097/ is the both-keys table for 16,637 awards.

If a citation of $30,990,522,913.42 does not mention both the awarding agency and the place-of-performance state, it is not citing this join. If a citation of 16,637 does not mention both keys, it is not this file’s count.
