USAspending.gov records $24,541,487,054.48 in Department of Health and Human Services obligations under awarding agency 075 with place of performance in Maine, across 1,742 awards. The join names HHS and Maine together: one awarding-agency code and one state geography tag. It does not say Augusta wrote these awards or that every hospital in the state is in the file. Obligations are not outlays. Dividing $24,541,487,054.48 by 1,742 awards produces about $14.09 million per award on average.

Maine and agency 075 in one cell
This tie reports the USAspending intersection of awarding agency 075 and Maine (ME) place of performance. The $24,541,487,054.48 figure sums matching obligations. Maine’s all-agency hub is larger in scope; the HHS national hub is larger in the other direction. Quoting this page as either parent would drop a filter.
One thousand seven hundred forty-two awards against $24.54 billion is a relatively sparse row count for the dollars involved. That shape often appears when large assistance awards dominate, but the packet does not list CFDA numbers. The join also does not measure Maine’s health outcomes or uninsured rate.
Maine’s 1,742 HHS awards and $24,541,487,054.48 are a reminder that a small-population state tag can still carry an assistance-scale total. Small-population is not in the packet, so per-capita claims would invent a denominator. What is in the packet is agency 075, ME, the dollar sum, and the row count. Hold the citation to those four facts and the join remains honest.
Department of Health and Human Services as 075
Agency code 075 is the HHS parent in this extract. Sub-agencies can sit underneath it in the source. This packet supplies one dollar total and one award count for the parent-plus-Maine slice. The overlay /states/me/agencies/075/ is the same pair in table form.
A national HHS page will show other states. $24,541,487,054.48 is Maine’s tagged share in the aggregate, not the department’s full obligation book. 1,742 is not the number of HHS employees in Maine.
