USAspending.gov records $5,085,618,905 in Department of Transportation obligations coded to agency 069 with Louisiana place of performance, across 2,705 awards.

Average obligation per award is about $1,880,081 — a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical interstate contract.

Key figures

  • DOT (069) in Louisiana: $5,085,618,905 across 2,705 awards.
  • Average obligation per award is about $1,880,081.
  • The total is obligations, not outlays, and not nationwide DOT.
  • LA is place of performance, not a port-only split.

What the Transportation–Louisiana join is

Awarding agency 069 and place-of-performance state LA meet here. $5,085,618,905 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Transportation’s nationwide budget, not Louisiana’s entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. I-10, port, and coastal-highway folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not packet NAICS and not a parish-by-parish road census.

2,705 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — thousands of award actions behind a multi-billion obligation total. Modifications add rows. Unique vendors are not published here. The join does not rank Louisiana against other states and does not name bridges or ports inside the extract.

Thousands of Transportation actions, one Louisiana filter

Dividing $5,085,618,905 by 2,705 yields about $1,880,081 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical interstate contract. A second Transportation slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Louisiana’s 069 total as a synonym for every DOT account.

I-10, port, and coastal-highway folklore 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.
