Department of Defense in Texas

What the Defense–Texas join is

Awarding agency 097 and place-of-performance state TX meet here. $435,893,633,498 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not DoD’s worldwide total, not Texas’s entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. It is a filter on a public awards table. Installation and aerospace folklore may send a reader here; those stories are not packet NAICS.

406,935 is a large action count. Modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique vendors are not published here. Dividing $435,893,633,498 by 406,935 yields about $1,071,163 per award on average. The join does not rank Texas against other states.

Agency 097 as the awarding side

USAspending labels awarding agency 097 as Department of Defense. That code produced $435,893,633,498 when crossed with Texas place of performance. The agency-wide 097 page does not require TX geography. The Texas hub does not require Defense. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 406,935 awards.

A second Defense slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. The codes are the same filter; the geography is not. Do not treat Texas’s 097 total as a synonym for every DoD account.
