DoD’s Iowa-coded award book
Keep two filters in view. Awarding agency is Department of Defense, agency 097. Geography is Iowa. The surviving file is $14,616,152,470.11 and 38,787 awards. Army, Navy, Air Force, and other Defense awarding offices can share parent code 097. This packet does not split services or contract vs assistance. Other awarding agencies inside Iowa sit on other pages even when the same metro hosts their work.
Dollars per record come to about $376,831. That mean mixes large assistance or contract vehicles with smaller actions. It is not a typical contract modification and not a typical payroll line. Unique recipients are unpublished. Iowa’s Defense join is not a farm-state curiosity in the packet. It is agency 097 with an IA place-of-performance tag. Neighboring Minnesota and Illinois Defense cells are different pages.
What the DoD–Iowa pair is not
This join is not a troop count, a readiness score, or a base-employment census. $14,616,152,470.11 measures award obligations with a 097 awarding-agency code and a IA place-of-performance tag. Iowa’s farm-state reputation is ordinary background, not a packet field. This join does not publish a commodity split. Neighbor-state awards stay in other cells even when fields cross the Missouri or Mississippi.
Department of Defense in Iowa is the overlay. Iowa federal spending still includes every other awarding agency in the state extract. Department of Defense is the parent agency hub without an Iowa filter. All spending ties holds the rest of the join list. Correlation is not causation: sharing a state with DoD does not mean the state caused the cell.
