Department of Defense federal obligations in Alaska

What the DoD–Alaska join is

Awarding agency 097 and place-of-performance state AK meet here. $11,517,809,954.54 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 Alaska, 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. 8,065 is a mid-size action file: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Dividing $11,517,809,954.54 by 8,065 yields about $1.43 million 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 Alaska’s 097 cell as a synonym for every DoD account.

Open Department of Defense in Alaska for the live filtered table, Alaska federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Defense for agency 097 without a Alaska filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $11,517,809,954.54.

Awarding agency 097 as the DoD side

USAspending labels awarding agency 097 as Department of Defense. That code produced $11,517,809,954.54 when crossed with Alaska place of performance. The agency-wide 097 hub does not require AK geography. The Alaska hub does not require DoD. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 8,065 awards.

This page reports defense awarding activity that USAspending coded to Alaska. Correlation is not causation: Alaska did not “cause” $11,517,809,954.54 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 097 × AK 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.

Alaska as place of performance (AK)

Alaska on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Alaska residents. Awards can list AK while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged Washington, Hawaii, California, or a Pacific territory belong on those ties even when Arctic or Pacific logistics are the same. Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, and the rest of the boroughs share one AK stamp. Place of performance is AK, not a county map.

Alaska federal spending shows how agency 097 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $11,517,809,954.54 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Alaska by county, metro, or congressional district. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to DoD.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $11,517,809,954.54 is that kind of sum for Department of Defense inside Alaska coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them.

Alaska’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 8,065-row DoD cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $11,517,809,954.54 as given. Treat 8,065 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished.

How to cite DoD in Alaska

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Defense (agency 097) obligated $11,517,809,954.54 on 8,065 awards coded to Alaska. Name Department of Defense and Alaska together. Keep the obligation word. If Department of Defense in Alaska has refreshed, quote the overlay over this snapshot. The pair is not a named base budget, not a contractor roster, and not a force-structure table.

Keep Department of Defense, Alaska, $11,517,809,954.54, and 8,065 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Defense is the 097 parent without a Alaska filter. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a state with DoD does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

Reading the DoD–Alaska award mix

8,065 is a mid-size action file: 8,065 rows against $11,517,809,954.54, with an implied mean of about $1.43 million. That mix is neither the thickest USDA-style action books nor the sparsest Energy-style files in this portfolio. It still does not publish a median, a program pie, or a unique-recipient count. Treat 8,065 as award records.

The overlay Department of Defense in Alaska is the both-keys table. Alaska federal spending and Department of Defense are parents. All spending ties lists other agency-state pairs. Those hubs are not addends to $11,517,809,954.54.

Questions

How much DoD spending is coded to Alaska?

USAspending.gov lists $11,517,809,954.54 in Department of Defense obligations across 8,065 Alaska-coded awards. Agency 097 × AK is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Alaska’s complete federal ledger. Department of Defense in Alaska is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $1.43 million, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does this total include every DoD program in Alaska?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. 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. $11,517,809,954.54 is the combined obligation sum for agency 097 inside Alaska coding. This page will not invent a program pie. Open Department of Defense in Alaska to inspect award lines. 8,065 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $11,517,809,954.54 cash already paid in Alaska?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $11,517,809,954.54 as checks already cleared in Alaska confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 8,065 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.

Where is the live DoD–Alaska table?
