Department of Defense obligations in California 49th District (CA-49)
USAspending.gov records $5,037,114,098.55 in Department of Defense (agency 097) obligations with California 49th District (CA-49) as place of performance. 4,417 awards carry that total, about 87.9% of the $5,731,438,965.36 district-wide obligation book on this extract. The pair is awarding agency 097 crossed with a congressional district geography tag, not the district's entire defense or veterans budget and not a census of installations, contractors, or service members. Amounts are obligations, not Treasury outlays.
Key figures
- Department of Defense in CA-49 shows $5,037,114,098.55 in USAspending obligations on 4,417 awards.
- 4,417 awards are a row count, not a census of installations, contractors, or service members.

- The total is commitments, not outlays. FEC donations do not fund this cell.
DoD carries most of the CA-49 tagged obligation book
California 49th District (CA-49) stores a Defense cell that is the largest share of its district book among the California Defense joins in this slice. Highest share is still a join statistic, not a claim that CA-49 is a winner versus CA-27 or CA-20. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $5,037,114,098.55 on 4,417 awards for awarding agency 097 with California 49th District (CA-49) 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 4,417 awards equal 4,417 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 $5,037,114,098.55 unless those awards also carry agency 097 and CA-49 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-49 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $5,037,114,098.55 in a district treasury. City or installation names are not packet facts and will not be imported as causes.
4,417 Defense awards in California 49th District
Four thousand four hundred seventeen DoD awards is thicker than CA-27's file. Thicker grain plus a high share still does not name installations. Mean obligation is about $1,140,392.60 if $5,037,114,098.55 were divided evenly across 4,417 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 49th District for the stored district table and Department of Defense for the national agency shelf. Do not convert 4,417 into a map of installations, contractors, or service members inside California 49th District. The $5,037,114,098.55 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on USAspending.gov rather than inferring an inventory.
CA-49 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 $5,037,114,098.55 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 $5,037,114,098.55 into a yearly run rate.
Keep the obligation word on $5,037,114,098.55. Keep both Department of Defense and California 49th District (CA-49) 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.
Omitted installation facts on the CA-49 Defense join
The extract has no roster of installations, contractors, or service members. Facts remain $5,037,114,098.55, 4,417 awards, agency 097 (Department of Defense), California 49th District (CA-49), and a district-wide book of $5,731,438,965.36. This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling district-agency joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score.
California 49th District places CA-49 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 $5,037,114,098.55 figure is the tagged pair only. City or installation names are not packet facts and will not be imported as causes.
Citing DoD in California 49th District (CA-49)
A clean footnote names Department of Defense (agency 097), California 49th District (CA-49), $5,037,114,098.55 in obligations, and 4,417 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not relabel 4,417 as a census of installations, contractors, or service members. Quote the district overlay if you need every awarding agency in CA-49, and quote the agency page if you need Department of Defense without a district filter. About 87.9% of the $5,731,438,965.36 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-49. The headline $5,037,114,098.55 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 49th 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.
