Defense work tagged to Louisiana

This page reports awarding agency 097 paired with Louisiana (LA) place of performance. The $17,733,648,480.56 total is the USAspending aggregate for that pair. Louisiana’s all-agency hub is broader; the national Defense hub is broader in the other direction. This cell is the overlap only.

Fifty-three thousand three hundred eighty-six awards is a mid-to-high Defense row count. The facts do not classify those rows as shipbuilding, aviation, or installation support. Inferring a single yard or fort from the state tag would overfit the aggregate.

Louisiana’s 53,386 Defense records under $17,733,648,480.56 produce a mean near $332,178. Shipyard talk will try to turn that mean into a hull price. A hull price is a unit this aggregate does not have. If a large construction action is in the mix, it pulls the mean; if thousands of small supply actions dominate, they pull it the other way. The file does not say which.

Agency 097 as the Defense parent
