Department of Defense federal obligations in Indiana

Defense work tagged to Indiana

This page reports awarding agency 097 paired with Indiana (IN) place of performance. The $19,936,973,537.09 total is the USAspending aggregate for that pair. Indiana’s all-agency hub is broader; the national Defense hub is broader in the other direction. This cell is the overlap only.

Thirty-four thousand one hundred twenty-four awards is a mid-range Defense row count — not a handful of mega-grants, not a near-million-row micro-purchase book. The facts do not classify those rows. Inferring a single naval installation from the state tag would overfit the aggregate.

Indiana’s 34,124 Defense records under $19,936,973,537.09 produce a mean near $584,250. That ratio can hide a mix of small supply actions and a few large industrial awards. The packet does not publish the mix. Crane, a depot, or a vehicle plant can enter the total only if their awards carry 097 and IN — a test this narrative cannot run row by row.

Agency 097 as the Defense parent

Code 097 is the Department of Defense. Military departments and defense agencies can sit underneath it in the source. This packet does not split them. The overlay /states/in/agencies/097/ is the table for the same pair.

A national Defense page will show other states. $19,936,973,537.09 is Indiana’s tagged share, not the department’s worldwide obligation book. 34,124 is not a headcount of service members or factory workers in Indiana.

Indiana as geography

Indiana is state code IN. Place of performance can follow work, a recipient address, or a reporting convention. Awards coded to Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, or elsewhere stay outside this $19,936,973,537.09 sum even when supply chains cross those lines. The join cannot reconstruct those chains.

Statewide Indiana federal spending includes HHS, Agriculture, and other awarding agencies. Defense is one column. Comparing this cell to those columns compares filters, not which department “matters more” to Indiana residents.

What $584,250 per award is saying

Mean obligation of about $584,250 sits above high-count Defense cells with tiny averages and below Energy cells with a few huge awards. It is still a mean, not a median, and not a typical unit price. A few large vehicle or ammunition actions, if present, would pull the mean up; thousands of small supply buys would pull it down. The aggregate does not say which mix Indiana has.

Award counts can include modifications. 34,124 is not 34,124 unique vendors. Net obligations can include downward adjustments.

Limits of the Defense–Indiana join

Place-of-performance overlap does not mean Indiana campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. The page does not rank Indiana as more militarized than neighbors. It reports one USAspending cell.

How to read the Indiana–Defense numbers

Indiana Defense ($19,936,973,537.09, 34,124 awards) is a mid-density 097 cell. Mid-density still does not name Crane, a depot, or an Allison plant. Those names would be imported color. The documented objects are the dollar total, the row count, agency 097, and IN. Thirty-four thousand one hundred twenty-four records likely include orders and modifications. The mean near $584,250 will move if a few large vehicle or ammunition actions dominate. This page has no way to see that dominance. Treat the mean as a ratio, not a price.

Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Kentucky bound Indiana. The Ohio River and Lake Michigan do not create extra state codes. Awards tagged those neighbors stay out of $19,936,973,537.09. Indianapolis and the rest of the state share IN.

What is the average DoD award in Indiana?

Dividing $19,936,973,537.09 by 34,124 awards produces about $584,250 per award. That mean mixes whatever award types sit in the table; it is not a median contract value.
