USAspending.gov records $13,106,515,451.82 in Department of Defense obligations under awarding agency 097 with place of performance in Tennessee, across 44,783 awards. Tennessee’s DoD cell is a thick-file case in this slice: 44,783 awards against a $13.11 billion obligation sum. That arithmetic is a thick-file case: many rows against a large obligation sum, so the mean is pulled down by volume. The pair is Department of Defense and Tennessee — not Tennessee’s entire federal inflow and not cash already paid. Average obligation is about $292,667 ($13,106,515,451.82 ÷ 44,783).

What the DoD–Tennessee join is
Awarding agency 097 and place-of-performance state TN meet here. $13,106,515,451.82 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Defense’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Tennessee, and not an outlay register. Military departments and defense agencies can roll up under awarding agency 097. This join does not split Army, Navy, Air Force, or other Defense components. 44,783 is a thick action file: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished.
Dividing $13,106,515,451.82 by 44,783 yields about $292,667 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line, and it is not a named base budget, not a contractor roster, and not a force-structure table. A second DoD slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Tennessee’s 097 cell as a synonym for every DoD account.
Open Department of Defense in Tennessee for the live filtered table, Tennessee federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Defense for agency 097 without a Tennessee filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $13,106,515,451.82.
Awarding agency 097 as the DoD side
USAspending labels awarding agency 097 as Department of Defense. That code produced $13,106,515,451.82 when crossed with Tennessee place of performance. The agency-wide 097 hub does not require TN geography. The Tennessee hub does not require DoD. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 44,783 awards.
This page reports defense awarding activity that USAspending coded to Tennessee. Correlation is not causation: Tennessee did not “cause” $13,106,515,451.82 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 097 × TN only. Military departments and defense agencies can roll up under awarding agency 097. This join does not split Army, Navy, Air Force, or other Defense components.
