USAspending.gov records $206,255,469,609.75 in Department of Health and Human Services obligations under awarding agency 075 with place of performance in Texas, across 11,681 awards. Compared with several smaller-state HHS cells that carry similar dollars on far fewer rows, Texas spreads the same cabinet across more award records, which lowers the mean. That is a shape-of-the-table observation, not a claim that Texas is more efficient. Obligations are commitments, not outlays. Dividing the dollar total by 11,681 awards yields about $17.7 million per award on average.

Key figures

  • HHS agency 075 shows $206,255,469,609.75 in Texas place-of-performance obligations on 11,681 awards.
  • Mean obligation is about $17.7 million per award.
  • A thicker award file lowers the mean versus more concentrated HHS state cells.
  • Texas is a USAspending geography tag, not a metro map.
  • Figures are obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

HHS and Texas as a two-key filter

Awarding agency 075 plus place-of-performance state TX produce this cell. The $206,255,469,609.75 obligation total is the sum on records that carry both keys. The Texas hub totals every awarding agency. The HHS hub totals every state. This tie is the overlap.

Eleven thousand six hundred eighty-one awards is a high row count for HHS in this harvest. More rows under $206.3 billion pull the mean down versus North Dakota or South Carolina cells with fewer instruments. The page does not convert that into a policy ranking.

Texas’s HHS cell is $206,255,469,609.75 on 11,681 awards. The state is large; that observation is not turned into a per-capita claim because population is not in the facts. What the table shows is a thicker award file than several smaller-state HHS cells at similar dollars. Texas HHS is $206,255,469,609.75 on 11,681 awards, a thicker file than several smaller-state HHS cells at similar dollars. Thickness is not a metro unpack. Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, San Antonio, El Paso, and the border are not columns in this aggregate. Inventing those subtotals would be a different table. The $17.7 million mean is dollars divided by 11,681 rows, lower than North Dakota’s HHS mean because Texas has more rows, not because a typical Texas award is “smaller” in any operational sense the facts do not measure. Oklahoma-, New Mexico-, Arkansas-, and Louisiana-tagged awards stay on those ties. Code 075 does not include Defense or SSA. Obligations are not outlays.

Cabinet 075, not every health-related agency

Code 075 is Department of Health and Human Services. Veterans Affairs, Defense, and USDA run separate Texas ties. Folding those codes into 075 would misstate $206,255,469,609.75.

The national HHS hub drops the Texas filter. Packet facts are the obligation sum, 11,681 awards, state TX, and agency 075. No Houston-versus-border split and no fiscal-year series are included.

Border, Gulf, and interior counties share one TX tag. The join does not isolate Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, or the border. Readers looking for metro subtotals will not find them here.
