Department of Defense obligations in California 27th District (CA-27)
California 27th District (CA-27) shows $6,942,130,877.36 in all-agency USAspending.gov obligations on this extract. Department of Defense (agency 097) accounts for $6,091,670,008.09 of that book — about 87.7% — across 2,661 awards. A share of a district total is a join statistic, not a ranking of districts and not proof that base employment or procurement headcount explain the cell. The metric is obligations, not outlays.
Key figures
- Department of Defense in CA-27 shows $6,091,670,008.09 in USAspending obligations on 2,661 awards.
- 2,661 awards are a row count, not a census of installations, contractors, or service members.
- The join is agency 097 plus CA-27, not CA-20, CA-51, CA-49, or statewide California Defense.
- The total is commitments, not outlays. FEC donations do not fund this cell.
DoD carries most of the CA-27 tagged obligation book
California 27th District (CA-27) stores a Defense cell that is a large majority of this district's tagged book. Majority share describes the join, not a verdict about local industry. Agency 097 here is still not every California Defense dollar. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $6,091,670,008.09 on 2,661 awards for awarding agency 097 with California 27th District (CA-27) as place of performance. Treat the pair as a table intersection, not a ranking of districts as winners or losers, and not a claim that 2,661 awards equal 2,661 Defense contractors. A Department of Defense amount tagged to a different district is out of this cell.
VA, DHS, or Energy awards that mention defense in a description sit outside $6,091,670,008.09 unless those awards also carry agency 097 and CA-27 geography. Mixing those lines would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and base employment or procurement headcount is not causation. Those series are not in the packet. Place of performance as CA-27 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $6,091,670,008.09 in a district treasury. California 20th, 51st, and 49th District Defense joins in this slice stay in their own files.
2,661 Defense awards in California 27th District
Two thousand six hundred sixty-one DoD awards is a moderate file. It is not 2,661 installations or 2,661 unique vendors. Mean obligation is about $2,289,240.89 if $6,091,670,008.09 were divided evenly across 2,661 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a published typical award. Award count is a row count of USAspending awards, including possible modifications. The extract does not split Army, Navy, Air Force, or other components inside agency 097. Unique recipients are unpublished.
This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open California 27th District for the stored district table and Department of Defense for the national agency shelf. Do not convert 2,661 into a map of installations, contractors, or service members inside California 27th District. The $6,091,670,008.09 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on USAspending.gov rather than inferring an inventory.
CA-27 DoD commitments versus Treasury outlays
DoD obligations are commitments, not invoices already paid. DoD awards often obligate as contracts or assistance are recorded and draw as deliveries are billed. The $6,091,670,008.09 headline is the obligation sum on this district-agency join, not hardware already delivered or payroll already issued. Citing the figure as cash already sent confuses two USAspending concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. No fiscal year is attached to this packet; do not annualize $6,091,670,008.09 into a yearly run rate.
Keep the obligation word on $6,091,670,008.09. Keep both Department of Defense and California 27th District (CA-27) in the citation. Campaign contributions recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell. Different datasets can share a state abbreviation without sharing a money trail.
What the California 27th District Defense table omits
The extract has no roster of installations, contractors, or service members. Facts remain $6,091,670,008.09, 2,661 awards, agency 097 (Department of Defense), California 27th District (CA-27), and a district-wide book of $6,942,130,877.36. This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling district-agency joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score.
California 27th District places CA-27 among other congressional districts. Department of Defense places agency 097 among other awarding agencies. California federal spending is the statewide shelf. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of California spending or of Department of Defense's national book the packet never computed. The $6,091,670,008.09 figure is the tagged pair only. California 20th, 51st, and 49th District Defense joins in this slice stay in their own files.
Citing Department of Defense in CA-27 without mixing other CA districts
A clean footnote names Department of Defense (agency 097), California 27th District (CA-27), $6,091,670,008.09 in obligations, and 2,661 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not relabel 2,661 as a census of installations, contractors, or service members. Quote the district overlay if you need every awarding agency in CA-27, and quote the agency page if you need Department of Defense without a district filter. About 87.7% of the $6,942,130,877.36 district book sits on this agency in the extract; that percentage is a derived ratio, not a separate published table.
A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is awarding agency 097. The other is congressional district place of performance as CA-27. The headline $6,091,670,008.09 is the obligation sum on that intersection. It is not a forecast, not a budget request, and not an outlay. It is also not a claim that Department of Defense caused California 27th District's economy to grow, or that the district caused the awards to exist. If a later ingest moves the live overlay, prefer the overlay when the table and this snapshot diverge.
Questions
- How much did DoD obligate in California 27th District?
- USAspending.gov shows $6,091,670,008.09 in obligations for Department of Defense (agency 097) with California 27th District (CA-27) as place of performance, across 2,661 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the district's entire defense or veterans budget. Other agencies in the district sit outside this join.
- Do 2,661 awards mean 2,661 CA-27 service members?
- No. Award count is a row count of USAspending awards and can include continuations. It is not a census of installations, contractors, or service members. The packet does not name recipients. Mean obligation of about $2,289,240.89 is a quotient, not a typical published award. See California 27th District for stored lines.
- Is this California's entire Department of Defense book?
- No. The join is awarding agency 097 crossed with CA-27 place of performance. The district-wide book on this extract is $6,942,130,877.36. Related agencies and other districts are not inside $6,091,670,008.09 unless they also carry both keys. California 20th, 51st, and 49th District Defense joins in this slice stay in their own files.
- Is the CA-27 DoD total already paid as contract outlays?
- Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $6,091,670,008.09 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Draws and remaining balances are not published in this packet. Remaining balances are not in the facts.
USAspending.gov congressional district place-of-performance joined to awarding agency. District 90/98 (multi/non-voting placeholders) are omitted. Obligations are not outlays.
