USAspending.gov records $220,423,872,132.94 in Department of Health and Human Services obligations under awarding agency 075 with place of performance in South Carolina, across 2,745 awards. The award count is thin for a $220.4 billion cell, which pushes the mean well above many other HHS × state joins. That is a table fact, not a quality ranking of South Carolina’s providers. Obligations are commitments, not outlays. Dividing the dollar total by 2,745 awards yields about $80.3 million per award on average.
Key figures
- HHS agency 075 shows $220,423,872,132.94 in South Carolina place-of-performance obligations on 2,745 awards.
- Mean obligation is about $80.3 million per award.
- The relatively small row count concentrates the mean; it is not a performance ranking.
- South Carolina is a USAspending geography tag, not a county map.
- Figures are obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
Where cabinet 075 meets South Carolina
The join is awarding agency 075 plus place-of-performance state SC. The $220,423,872,132.94 sum is the obligation total on records that hold both keys. The South Carolina hub is all agencies. The HHS hub is all states. This page is the overlapping cell.
Two thousand seven hundred forty-five awards is a smaller row set than HHS slices in more populous states that appear in the same harvest. Dollars remain large. The page does not interpret that gap as efficiency, waste, or health outcomes.
South Carolina’s HHS cell carries $220,423,872,132.94 on 2,745 awards. Neighboring North Carolina’s HHS cell in this harvest has more rows and a lower mean. That contrast is two aggregates side by side. It is not a finding that one state’s health system is larger or smaller in any operational sense the packet does not measure. A second pass on the same cell does not create a second total. $220,423,872,132.94 remains the obligation sum on 2,745 awards tagged awarding agency 075 and place-of-performance SC. Readers who want county maps, hospital lists, or Medicaid enrollment should look for those fields in other datasets; they are not here. The mean of about $80.3 million is what you get when a relatively small row count sits under a nine-figure-billion cabinet total. It moves if either the dollars or the 2,745-award count moves in a later aggregate refresh. Until that refresh, do not substitute a neighboring state’s HHS cell, do not fold in Veterans Affairs, and do not treat obligations as cash already paid to South Carolina providers. The overlay table, the South Carolina hub, the HHS hub, and All spending ties are still the four links that keep this join attached to its parents.
Awarding agency 075, labeled HHS
Code 075 is the Department of Health and Human Services in this aggregate. Neighboring cabinets keep their own South Carolina ties. Mixing 075 with Social Security (028) or Defense (097) would scramble $220,423,872,132.94 into unrelated columns.
The national HHS hub drops the South Carolina filter. Facts available here are the obligation total, 2,745 awards, state SC, and agency 075. No CFDA list and no fiscal-year series are in the packet.
Code 075 does not include the Department of Veterans Affairs or the Department of Defense. Health-related work awarded by those cabinets in South Carolina lives on other ties. The $220,423,872,132.94 figure is 075 only.
