Department of Defense obligations in Florida 13th District (FL-13)

DoD × FL-13 is an awarding-agency join, not a service-member census

Florida 13th District (FL-13) shows a Defense cell with thousands of award rows. A high row count is a file-grain fact for agency 097, not a headcount of service members who live in the district. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $4,152,358,230.05 on 2,126 awards for awarding agency 097 with Florida 13th District (FL-13) 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 2,126 awards equal 2,126 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 $4,152,358,230.05 unless those awards also carry agency 097 and FL-13 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 FL-13 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $4,152,358,230.05 in a district treasury. Florida 2nd District Defense and other awarding agencies in FL-13 sit outside this pair.

2,126 Defense award rows in Florida 13th District

Two thousand one hundred twenty-six DoD awards is thicker than FL-02's Defense file on a smaller dollar total. Thickness is not 2,126 contractors. Mean obligation is about $1,953,131.81 if $4,152,358,230.05 were divided evenly across 2,126 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 Florida 13th District for the stored district table and Department of Defense for the national agency shelf. Do not convert 2,126 into a map of installations, contractors, or service members inside Florida 13th District. The $4,152,358,230.05 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on USAspending.gov rather than inferring an inventory.

FL-13 DoD dollars are obligations, not hardware already delivered

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 $4,152,358,230.05 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 $4,152,358,230.05 into a yearly run rate.

Keep the obligation word on $4,152,358,230.05. Keep both Department of Defense and Florida 13th District (FL-13) 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 Florida 13th District Defense table leaves out

The extract has no roster of installations, contractors, or service members. Facts remain $4,152,358,230.05, 2,126 awards, agency 097 (Department of Defense), Florida 13th District (FL-13), and a district-wide book of $13,570,927,026.53. This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling district-agency joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score.

Florida 13th District places FL-13 among other congressional districts. Department of Defense places agency 097 among other awarding agencies. Florida federal spending is the statewide shelf. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Florida spending or of Department of Defense's national book the packet never computed. The $4,152,358,230.05 figure is the tagged pair only. Florida 2nd District Defense and other awarding agencies in FL-13 sit outside this pair.

Citing Department of Defense in FL-13

A clean footnote names Department of Defense (agency 097), Florida 13th District (FL-13), $4,152,358,230.05 in obligations, and 2,126 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not relabel 2,126 as a census of installations, contractors, or service members. Quote the district overlay if you need every awarding agency in FL-13, and quote the agency page if you need Department of Defense without a district filter. About 30.6% of the $13,570,927,026.53 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 FL-13. The headline $4,152,358,230.05 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 Florida 13th 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 Florida 13th District?

USAspending.gov shows $4,152,358,230.05 in obligations for Department of Defense (agency 097) with Florida 13th District (FL-13) as place of performance, across 2,126 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 2,126 awards mean 2,126 FL-13 contractors?

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 $1,953,131.81 is a quotient, not a typical published award. See Florida 13th District for stored lines.

Is this Florida's entire federal Defense funding?

No. The join is awarding agency 097 crossed with FL-13 place of performance. The district-wide book on this extract is $13,570,927,026.53. Related agencies and other districts are not inside $4,152,358,230.05 unless they also carry both keys. Florida 2nd District Defense and other awarding agencies in FL-13 sit outside this pair.

Is the FL-13 DoD total already spent on hardware?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $4,152,358,230.05 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.
