Department of Defense obligations in Georgia 1st District (GA-01)

Congressional district GA-01 and Department of Defense (agency 097) join at $3,873,138,814.70 in tagged USAspending.gov obligations (8,959 awards). Eight thousand nine hundred fifty-nine Defense-coded awards — a mass-action DoD file — still equal about thirty-six percent of GA-01’s district obligation total, not Georgia’s statewide Defense book. That pair is Department of Defense and Georgia 1st District (GA-01) — not Georgia’s entire federal inflow, not Department of Defense nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 35.5% of this district’s published obligation total ($10,906,288,525.90). Implied average obligation is about $432,318.21 ($3,873,138,814.70 ÷ 8,959). Correlation is not causation.

How SpendingVault stores DoD in GA-01

Awarding agency 097 and congressional district GA-01 meet here. $3,873,138,814.70 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Defense’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Georgia 1st District (GA-01), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split military departments or contract versus assistance instruments. 8,959 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a base census, a troop roster, a weapons inventory, or a named-contractor file.

This page reports Department of Defense awarding activity USAspending tagged to this district. The headline $3,873,138,814.70 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $10,906,288,525.90; the 35.5% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of Georgia districts as winners or losers. District 90 and 98 placeholders are omitted from this harvest. Obligations are not outlays.

Reading Department of Defense without a recipient table

USAspending labels awarding agency 097 as Department of Defense. That code produced $3,873,138,814.70 when crossed with Georgia 1st District (GA-01) place of performance. The agency-wide 097 hub does not require GA-01 geography. The district hub does not require DoD. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 8,959 awards. The packet does not split military departments or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Georgia 1st District (GA-01) did not cause $3,873,138,814.70 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 097 × GA-01 only. It is not a base census, a troop roster, a weapons inventory, or a named-contractor file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

Where Georgia GA-01 sits in the join

Georgia 1st District (GA-01) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list GA-01 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Georgia districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 097. Georgia 1st District (GA-01) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Georgia. Other Georgia districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 097. Georgia 1st District (GA-01) is a numbered place-of-performance geography inside Georgia. Other Georgia districts are not added into this cell.

Georgia federal spending shows how agency 097 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $3,873,138,814.70 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Georgia 1st District (GA-01) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Department of Defense. The district-wide obligation total published here is $10,906,288,525.90; $3,873,138,814.70 is the DoD slice of that denominator.

Keeping the obligation word on this cell

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $3,873,138,814.70 is that kind of sum for Department of Defense inside GA-01 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $3,873,138,814.70 as given.

Georgia’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 8,959-row DoD cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 8,959 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($432,318.21) is a concentration statistic, not a typical GA-01 DoD payment.

District, agency, and ties hubs for GA-01

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Defense (agency 097) obligated $3,873,138,814.70 on 8,959 awards coded to Georgia 1st District (GA-01). Name Department of Defense and Georgia 1st District (GA-01) together. Keep the obligation word. If Georgia 1st District or Department of Defense has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a base census, a troop roster, a weapons inventory, or a named-contractor file. 35.5% of $10,906,288,525.90 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Keep Department of Defense, Georgia 1st District (GA-01), $3,873,138,814.70, and 8,959 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Defense is the 097 parent without a GA-01 filter. Georgia federal spending is the Georgia parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with DoD does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

No contractor table on the GA-01 DoD join

8,959 awards is a mass-action Defense file. Volume pulls the implied mean down. Do not read 8,959 as unique vendors or installations. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $432,318.21) and the district share (35.5% of $10,906,288,525.90) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Georgia 1st District and Department of Defense if the live tables moved.

Questions

How much DoD spending is coded to Georgia 1st District (GA-01)?
USAspending.gov lists $3,873,138,814.70 in DoD (agency 097) obligations across 8,959 awards coded to Georgia 1st District (GA-01). That pair is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Georgia’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 35.5% of the district’s published total ($10,906,288,525.90). Unique recipients are unpublished.
Does $3,873,138,814.70 include every DoD program in GA-01?
The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split military departments or contract versus assistance instruments. $3,873,138,814.70 is the combined obligation sum for agency 097 inside GA-01 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. 8,959 remains an action count, not a program count.
Is $3,873,138,814.70 cash already paid in Georgia 1st District (GA-01)?
No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $3,873,138,814.70 as checks already cleared in Georgia 1st District (GA-01) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 8,959 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.
Can I add Georgia federal spending to $3,873,138,814.70 for a bigger Georgia total?
No. Georgia federal spending is a parent extract, not an amount to add into this cell. $3,873,138,814.70 already sits inside Georgia geography as the GA-01 × 097 slice. Adding the state hub would double-count. Cite Department of Defense and Georgia 1st District (GA-01) together. Obligations are not outlays.

USAspending.gov congressional district place-of-performance joined to awarding agency. District 90/98 (multi/non-voting placeholders) are omitted. Obligations are not outlays.
