Department of Defense federal obligations in Hawaii

USAspending.gov records $18,180,696,222.87 in Department of Defense obligations under awarding agency 097 with place of performance in Hawaii, across 43,900 awards. The pair names Defense as awarding agency and Hawaii as geography. It does not identify Pearl Harbor, a Pacific command, or a contractor, and it does not say Honolulu funded the Pentagon. Obligations are not outlays. Average obligation is about $414,139 ($18,180,696,222.87 ÷ 43,900).

Key figures

  • DoD agency 097 shows $18,180,696,222.87 in Hawaii place-of-performance obligations on 43,900 awards.
  • Mean obligation is about $414,139 per award.
  • Award count is not a vendor headcount or a named-base budget.
  • SSA in Hawaii is a different agency join.
  • Figures are obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

Defense dollars tagged to Hawaii

This page is the intersection of awarding agency 097 and Hawaii (HI) place of performance. The $18,180,696,222.87 total is the USAspending aggregate for that pair. Hawaii’s all-agency spending is a wider table; Defense’s national profile is a wider table in the other direction. This cell is only the overlap.

Forty-three thousand nine hundred awards is a substantial row count for an island-state tag. The count can include contracts, orders, and modifications. The packet does not name installations. Treating 43,900 as “43,900 Hawaii companies” would misread award records. Treating the dollars as proof of a single named harbor would add a label the facts do not carry.

Hawaii’s 43,900 Defense records and $18,180,696,222.87 will be attached to a command name in conversation. Conversation is not the filter. The filter is 097 and HI. Pacific logistics that were tagged CA or a territory code are outside this cell. Oahu and the other islands share HI inside $18,180,696,222.87.

Awarding agency 097

Code 097 is the Department of Defense in this extract. Military departments and defense agencies can roll up under that parent. This join does not split them. The overlay /states/hi/agencies/097/ is the same pair in table form.

The national Defense hub will show other states and a different award mix. Quoting $18,180,696,222.87 as DoD’s full obligation total would drop the Hawaii filter. Quoting 43,900 as the department’s entire award inventory would drop every other state.

Hawaii on the geography field

Hawaii is state code HI. Place of performance can reflect work in-state, a contractor address, or a reporting convention for a Pacific effort that is tagged to Hawaii. Awards coded to California, Alaska, Guam, or other jurisdictions do not enter this $18,180,696,222.87 sum. The join cannot re-allocate dollars along a Pacific logistics chain.

Hawaii federal spending as a whole includes SSA, HHS, and other agencies. Defense is one awarding column. SSA also has a Hawaii cell on this site under agency 028; that is a different join. This page keeps 097 and HI only.

The $414,139 average

Dividing $18,180,696,222.87 by 43,900 awards yields about $414,139 per award. That mean sits between high-count Defense books with tiny averages and sparse Energy books with huge averages. It is also a warning against assuming every award is that size: a few large ship or construction actions can dominate. The packet has no median and no top-award list.

Net obligations can include de-obligations. 43,900 remains a count of award records in the aggregate, not a count of Hawaii islands or of completed construction projects.

What the Defense–Hawaii pair is not

Sharing a state with DoD does not mean Hawaii campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. The page does not rank Hawaii as more militarized than other states. It reports one USAspending join.

How to read the Hawaii–Defense numbers

Hawaii Defense ($18,180,696,222.87, 43,900 awards) attracts Pacific-command narration. Command names are not in the facts. The pair is 097 and HI. Pearl Harbor, a shipyard, or a Pacific fleet headquarters can enter the total only if their awards carry those tags — which this narrative cannot verify. Forty-three thousand nine hundred rows is substantial for an island-state code. Substantial is not a unique-vendor count. Modifications and orders likely inflate 43,900 relative to unique contractors. The mean near $414,139 mixes whatever those rows contain.

California, Alaska, and Pacific territories are the usual other tags in this conversation. None of them contribute to $18,180,696,222.87. Oahu, Hawai‘i Island, Maui, and Kaua‘i share HI. The aggregate has no island split.
