The 097 × KY cell

Awarding agency 097 and place-of-performance KY define this join. The $91,196,630,981.51 obligation total is the sum on 103,219 records that hold both keys. Kentucky’s all-agency hub and Defense’s all-state hub are the parents.

One hundred three thousand two hundred nineteen awards is a thick Defense file. Many DoD instruments are modifications. The aggregate counts those records; it does not count 103,219 unique programs.

Kentucky’s Defense cell is $91,196,630,981.51 on 103,219 awards. Posts that straddle Tennessee can split across KY and TN geography tags. This page only includes records tagged KY.

It does not claim a named post’s full activity. The $884,000 mean is close to Alabama DoD. Installation names remain absent. Tennessee-, Ohio-, Indiana-, and West Virginia-tagged awards stay on those ties. Obligations are not outlays. The Kentucky hub is the all-agency parent.

Awarding agency 097 in Kentucky

Code 097 is Department of Defense. Components can all land in 097. The packet does not name Fort Campbell, Fort Knox, or any other site. Calling $91,196,630,981.51 “Fort Knox spending” would invent geography the facts do not provide.

The national 097 hub drops the Kentucky filter. Facts here: obligation sum, 103,219 awards, state KY, code 097. No fiscal-year series is supplied.

Hardin, Christian, and the rest of the state share one KY tag. The join does not isolate Fort Knox or Fort Campbell. Awards tagged TN, OH, IN, or WV stay on those ties. Restating the pair does not claim a named post’s full activity. Awarding agency 097 and place-of-performance KY produced $91,196,630,981.51 across 103,219 awards. Tennessee-tagged actions at a bi-state post stay on the Tennessee tie. The $884,000 mean is close to Alabama DoD. Installation names remain absent. Obligations remain commitments, not outlays.

Kentucky as place of performance

Kentucky is USAspending state code KY. Performance in Hardin County, a recipient in Christian County, and a record that only stamps KY can all sit inside $91,196,630,981.51. Awards tagged TN, OH, IN, or WV stay on those ties even when a post straddles a state line. The join does not split bi-state installations.

Statewide Kentucky federal spending is the parent. Agency 097 is one awarding agency there. $91.2 billion is not Kentucky’s complete federal footprint.

One hundred three thousand two hundred nineteen records produce an $884,000 mean, close to Alabama DoD. Thick Defense files pull means down relative to HHS. Geography remains a stamp, including at bi-state posts. KY-tagged Defense awards totaling $91,196,630,981.51 across 103,219 records exclude Tennessee-tagged actions. The $884,000 mean is still dollars divided by rows. Installation names remain absent from the facts. Obligations remain commitments.

103,219 awards and an $884,000 mean

Code 097 is Department of Defense. It is not USDA, not HHS, and not a named installation budget. The $91,196,630,981.51 figure is the 097 × KY cell only.

What the Kentucky–DoD pair is not

A shared state tag does not mean Kentucky selected these awards, and it does not mean Defense outlays equal $91,196,630,981.51 inside the state. FEC donations do not fund this cell. Correlation is not causation.
