Department of Defense in Kentucky 3rd District (KY-03)
Federal obligations of $46,333,699,156.52 sit on the USAspending cell that pairs Department of Defense (agency 097) with Kentucky 3rd District (KY-03). Award-record count 38,716. District-wide parent $153,621,794,391.95. 38,716 awards against $46,333,699,156.52 is a thick action file. Repeat awards and modifications add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Implied mean about $1.20 million is not a typical invoice. Kentucky 3rd District (KY-03) also carries a Health and Human Services join in this slice. That 075 cell is larger in dollars and is a different awarding agency. This page is Department of Defense (097) only. Do not add HHS into Defense or treat the two as one Kentucky 3rd total. The join is not the KY-03 HHS cell, a named depot roster, or Kentucky statewide Defense.

Caveats on 097 × KY-03
Caveat stack: not cash paid; not a vendor list; not a statewide Kentucky Department of Defense total; not a nationwide Department of Defense total; not FEC. The positive claim is small: agency 097 in KY-03 shows $46,333,699,156.52 on 38,716 awards.
A thick Defense award-record file beside a smaller Defense dollar total than the HHS cell on the same district is a description of two joins, not a ranking of agencies as winners. Unique vendors stay unpublished. That is the whole join.
