Department of Defense federal obligations in Iowa

DoD’s Iowa-coded award book

Keep two filters in view. Awarding agency is Department of Defense, agency 097. Geography is Iowa. The surviving file is $14,616,152,470.11 and 38,787 awards. Army, Navy, Air Force, and other Defense awarding offices can share parent code 097. This packet does not split services or contract vs assistance. Other awarding agencies inside Iowa sit on other pages even when the same metro hosts their work.

Dollars per record come to about $376,831. That mean mixes large assistance or contract vehicles with smaller actions. It is not a typical contract modification and not a typical payroll line. Unique recipients are unpublished. Iowa’s Defense join is not a farm-state curiosity in the packet. It is agency 097 with an IA place-of-performance tag. Neighboring Minnesota and Illinois Defense cells are different pages.

What the DoD–Iowa pair is not

This join is not a troop count, a readiness score, or a base-employment census. $14,616,152,470.11 measures award obligations with a 097 awarding-agency code and a IA place-of-performance tag. Iowa’s farm-state reputation is ordinary background, not a packet field. This join does not publish a commodity split. Neighbor-state awards stay in other cells even when fields cross the Missouri or Mississippi.

Department of Defense in Iowa is the overlay. Iowa federal spending still includes every other awarding agency in the state extract. Department of Defense is the parent agency hub without an Iowa filter. All spending ties holds the rest of the join list. Correlation is not causation: sharing a state with DoD does not mean the state caused the cell.

Obligation versus outlay on agency 097

Assistance and contract awards can obligate in one fiscal window and pay on a different schedule. $14,616,152,470.11 is the commitment sum. Treating it as cash already cleared in Iowa confuses obligations with outlays. The packet does not assign a fiscal year to the headline; treat $14,616,152,470.11 as the obligation total present in the indexed file.

Iowa’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 38,787-row DoD cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include de-obligations. The implied mean near $376,831 is dollars divided by records, not a typical contract modification and not a typical payroll line.

One IA tag, not a corn-yield or county-acreage map

This packet does not split $14,616,152,470.11 by county, metro, or Des Moines and the rest of the state. 38,787 awards stay statewide. Neighboring Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, and South Dakota remain other state cells even when labor markets or projects cross those lines. Publishing a corn-yield or county-acreage map as a subtotal would invent a number.

Place of performance can follow work in-state, a recipient address, or a reporting convention. Department of Defense is the 097 hub without a Iowa filter. Use it for the agency book; use this page for the IA intersection only.
