A high-count Defense book in North Carolina

This page reports awarding agency 097 paired with North Carolina (NC) place of performance. The $22,393,282,248.46 total is the USAspending aggregate for that pair. North Carolina’s all-agency hub is broader; the national Defense hub is broader in the other direction. This cell is the overlap only.

Two hundred forty-one thousand three hundred fifty-nine awards is a large row count. High counts often reflect many smaller procurement actions and modifications rather than a handful of mega-grants. The packet does not classify those rows and does not identify a particular installation. Inferring one base from the state tag would overfit the aggregate.

North Carolina’s 241,359 Defense records under $22,393,282,248.46 dwarf the state’s USDA row count in this slice, but dwarfing is not a finding that Defense “matters more.” It is a finding that 097-tagged NC awards are numerous. Unique vendors, unique installations, and unique service members are other units. This page’s units are dollars and award records.

Agency 097 without collapsing components

Code 097 is the Department of Defense parent. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and other Defense awarding offices can sit underneath it in the source. This packet does not split them. The overlay /states/nc/agencies/097/ is the table for the same pair.

A national Defense page will show other states. $22,393,282,248.46 is North Carolina’s tagged share, not the department’s worldwide obligation book. 241,359 is not a headcount of service members stationed in the state.
