What the Defense-Delaware join is
Awarding agency 097 and place-of-performance state DE meet here. $1,192,336,655.22 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Defense's nationwide budget, not Delaware's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. Dover Air Force Base folklore and statewide depot stories may send a reader here. Those stories are not packet NAICS and not a base census.
11,259 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a very long award list beside a billion-dollar obligation total. A long row list can mix small supply actions with larger instruments. The join does not rank Delaware against other states and does not name installations inside the extract.

11,259 Defense actions under one Delaware filter
Dividing $1,192,336,655.22 by 11,259 yields about $105,900.76 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical airlift 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.
Dover 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.
