Department of Defense in Connecticut 3rd District (CT-03)

What $24,876,146,021.98 measures in CT-03

$24,876,146,021.98 is not a program pie, not a city budget, and not cash already paid in Connecticut. It is the obligation sum USAspending.gov attaches to Department of Defense inside Connecticut 3rd District (CT-03) coding. 26,535 awards against $24,876,146,021.98 is a thick action file. Repeat awards and modifications add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Implied mean about $937,484 is not a typical invoice.

Shipyard and engine brands are unpublished. Unique recipients are unpublished. Statewide Connecticut federal spending mixes every awarding agency. This tie is CT-03 × Defense only. Keep both sides in every citation: Department of Defense (agency 097) and Connecticut 3rd District (CT-03). Correlation with local news is not causation.

Toptier 097 is not every federal dollar in CT-03

Other toptiers that award in Connecticut are visible on Connecticut federal spending and on the district hub. They are not this cell. $24,876,146,021.98 is Department of Defense only. 26,535 is the Department of Defense×CT-03 action count only.

Connecticut 3rd District (CT-03) is the other Connecticut Defense join beside CT-01. Same agency 097, different place-of-performance district. A thicker award-record file on CT-03 does not make CT-01 a subset. Do not add the two cells. Mixing those other toptiers into $24,876,146,021.98 would invent a combined Connecticut 3rd District (CT-03) total the packet already publishes separately as $33,853,304,016.22.
