USAspending.gov records $157,715,754,608.28 in Department of Health and Human Services obligations under awarding agency 075 with place of performance in Tennessee, across 4,450 awards. The award count nearly matches Wisconsin’s HHS cell while the dollars are lower, which trims the mean. That comparison is arithmetic, not a ranking of Nashville against Milwaukee. Obligations are commitments, not outlays. Dividing the dollar total by 4,450 awards yields about $35.4 million per award on average.

  • Figures are obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

How the Tennessee–HHS pair is built

Awarding agency 075 and place-of-performance state TN define the cell. The $157,715,754,608.28 obligation total is the sum on records that hold both keys. The Tennessee hub and the HHS hub are the two parents; this page is only their overlap.

Four thousand four hundred fifty awards is a mid-pack row count. It does not enumerate hospitals, and it does not equal 4,450 distinct recipients. Duplicate or related instruments can sit in the same aggregate.

Tennessee’s HHS cell is $157,715,754,608.28 on 4,450 awards. Energy and defense work in the state, if present in USAspending, uses other awarding-agency codes. Those dollars are not inside this HHS total. Tennessee HHS is $157,715,754,608.28 on 4,450 awards. Energy sites in the state are a separate awarding-agency problem if they appear at all. They do not appear in these facts as a named split, and they do not belong inside 075. Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga share one TN tag. The $35.4 million mean is close to Wisconsin HHS and far below South Carolina HHS; closeness of means is not identical program mix. Kentucky-, Alabama-, Georgia-, and North Carolina-tagged awards stay on those ties. SSA in Tennessee is a different cell. Obligations are not outlays.

Department 075 versus other Tennessee cabinets

Code 075 is Department of Health and Human Services. Energy, Defense, and Social Security run their own Tennessee ties. Those figures are outside $157,715,754,608.28.

Open the agency 075 hub to drop the Tennessee constraint. Facts here: obligation sum, 4,450 awards, state TN, code 075. No Oak Ridge versus Memphis split is in the packet.

Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga share one TN tag. The join does not isolate any of them. The $157,715,754,608.28 figure is statewide place of performance for agency 075. Restating the pair does not add a fiscal year the packet omitted. Awarding agency 075 and place-of-performance TN produced $157,715,754,608.28 across 4,450 awards. Energy Department English is a different code. SSA in Tennessee is a different cell. The $35.4 million mean will change only if those two inputs change. Until then, treat 4,450 as award records in the aggregate, not as 4,450 finished projects, and treat obligations as commitments rather than outlays already sitting in Tennessee bank accounts.
