How much HHS funding is obligated in Nevada?

USAspending records $27,768,147,431.41 in obligations for awarding agency 075 (Department of Health and Human Services) with Nevada place of performance, covering 1,661 awards. That is an obligation aggregate for this pair, not an outlay figure and not HHS’s national total.

Does the $27.77 billion include every HHS program in Nevada?

The total includes awards tagged to agency 075 and NV place of performance in the USAspending aggregate. Programs coded to another awarding agency, or to another state, are excluded. The packet does not list CFDA numbers inside this cell.

Why are there only 1,661 awards for so many dollars?

Dividing $27,768,147,431.41 by 1,661 awards yields about $16.72 million per award. HHS tables often concentrate dollars in large assistance awards. The count is award records, not proof of 1,661 separate hospitals or 1,661 equal grants.

Is this the same as Nevada’s total federal spending?

No. This join filters awarding agency 075 only. Nevada’s statewide hub includes every awarding agency. $27,768,147,431.41 is the HHS slice, not the state total.

What the HHS–Nevada cell actually measures

This page isolates awards that carry awarding agency 075 and Nevada as the place-of-performance state. The $27,768,147,431.41 total is the sum of those matching rows in the USAspending aggregate. Drop the Nevada filter and the agency 075 national profile is larger; drop the agency filter and Nevada’s statewide federal spending includes every awarding department. The join is the overlap, nothing more.

One thousand six hundred sixty-one awards against nearly $27.77 billion is a relatively thick dollars-per-row mix. That ratio does not prove each award is a Medicaid grant, a research contract, or a single hospital payment. It only says the Nevada–075 cell is not a high-volume micro-purchase table. Correlation between a health agency label and a western state tag is not evidence that Nevada’s health outcomes caused the obligations.

Agency 075 without treating HHS as one checkbook

USAspending’s awarding-agency field uses numeric codes. This tie is keyed to 075, the Department of Health and Human Services. Sub-agencies, operating divisions, and assistance listings can sit under that parent code in the source file; this packet does not break them out. Readers who need the department’s awards in every state should open the agency 075 hub rather than stretching $27,768,147,431.41 into a national HHS total.

HHS obligations often mix large assistance awards with smaller procurement. The 1,661-row count is consistent with a table that is not dominated by hundreds of thousands of small contracts, but the packet facts do not name award types. Inventing a split between grants and contracts would go beyond the aggregate.
