Federal obligations of $30,259,325,078.78 sit on the USAspending cell that pairs Department of Defense (agency 097) with California 36th District (CA-36). Award-record count 5,213. District-wide parent $43,332,669,736.78. 5,213 awards against $30,259,325,078.78 is a thick action file. Repeat awards and modifications add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Implied mean about $5.80 million is not a typical invoice. California 36th District (CA-36) is a Defense (097) join. CA-14 in this slice is Energy, CA-28 is NASA, and CA-06 is Homeland Security. Those pairs use other district numbers and other agency codes. Do not stack them. The join is not the CA-14 Energy cell, the CA-28 NASA cell, or California statewide Defense.
