Key figures

  • DoD (097) in Rhode Island: $5,028,570,905 across 4,139 awards.
  • Average obligation per award is about $1,214,924.
  • The total is obligations, not outlays, and not nationwide DoD.
  • RI is place of performance, not a Newport-only split.

What the Defense–Rhode Island join is

Awarding agency 097 and place-of-performance state RI meet here. $5,028,570,905 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Defense’s nationwide budget, not Rhode Island’s entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. Newport naval-college folklore and Quonset industrial-park stories may send a reader here. Those stories are not packet NAICS and not a base census.

4,139 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 Rhode Island against other states and does not name ships or stations inside the extract.

Defense actions under a Rhode Island geography tag

Dividing $5,028,570,905 by 4,139 yields about $1,214,924 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical naval-station contract. A second Defense slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Rhode Island’s 097 total as a synonym for every DoD account.

Newport naval-college folklore and quonset industrial-park stories 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.
