Department of Defense obligations in Maine

Defense and Maine as a two-field filter

Keep 097 and ME; sum obligations. The harvest shows $31,591,199,764.95 on 21,869 awards. Twenty-one thousand eight hundred sixty-nine records is fewer than many coastal Defense joins with six-figure award counts. Fewer records under a still-large dollar total lifts the mean to about $1.44 million.

The join does not name yards, bases, or contractors. Those proper names are not in the packet. Ranking Maine against New Hampshire or Massachusetts would require other facts.

Repeat the pair until it sticks: $31,591,199,764.95 on 21,869 awards, both keys required. Drop the state and the agency hub takes over. Drop the agency and the state hub takes over. This page is the remainder after both filters.

Agency 097 without Maine

The Department of Defense hub drops the ME filter and will not equal $31,591,199,764.95. The Maine hub drops 097. Overlay /states/me/agencies/097/ is the both-keys table for 21,869 awards.

Quoting $31,591,199,764.95 from the agency hub would be a different filter. Quoting 21,869 from the state hub would mix other awarding agencies. The overlay is the only table that keeps both keys. That is why this tie cites those two facts together.

Maine is not New England

Place of performance ME excludes New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and the rest of New England. Defense awards coded to those states are outside $31,591,199,764.95. Place of performance is not contractor headquarters.

The Maine federal spending hub shows 097 next to other awarding agencies that also use ME. Adjacency is not a supply chain.

Households, facilities, and vendors are not columns in the packet. Listing them would be invention. $31,591,199,764.95 remains an obligation sum on a state tag. The overlay can show rows; this narrative will not invent names for those rows.

Obligations on 21,869 records

Award count is records, not unique vendors. The obligation sum is $31,591,199,764.95. Outlays are unpublished. No year is in the facts.

Modifications can rest on one ID. The average is not a typical prime contract.

What the pair does not prove

Defense obligations in Maine do not prove the state economy is Pentagon-driven. They do not connect USAspending to FEC receipts. See Department of Defense in Maine, Maine federal spending, Department of Defense, and All spending ties.

How to read this pair next to the hubs

Maine’s Defense pair is $31,591,199,764.95 on 21,869 awards. Facility names are not in the facts.

Navigation: Department of Defense in Maine for the pair, Maine federal spending for all agencies on this geography, Department of Defense for this agency without the state, All spending ties for other joins. Quote $31,591,199,764.95 with both keys. Quote 21,869 as records.

Legal commitments can be de-obligated. Payments can trail. This page has the commitment field only. $31,591,199,764.95 is therefore not a cash figure. The geography field is not a services roster.

Snapshot versus live table: if they diverge, the overlay wins. Do not forecast from the average. Do not blend FEC and USAspending. The intersection is $31,591,199,764.95 on 21,869 awards.

Award records are not a census of people and not a census of places. 21,869 can rise because one recipient has many instruments, because modifications were stored as new rows, or because small actions are common in this awarding agency’s reporting. $31,591,199,764.95 can be dominated by a few rows even when 21,869 is large, or by those same few rows when 21,869 is small. Without a distribution, this page will not pretend to know which pattern holds. It will keep repeating the two facts and the two keys. Place of performance still does not mean every dollar was disbursed locally. Obligations still do not mean outlays.

Snapshot language matters. $31,591,199,764.95 and 21,869 are the harvest used to write this file. USAspending aggregates can be rebuilt. If a later overlay disagrees, the live table is the operational source and this prose is historical relative to that packet. That is not a reason to ignore the join; it is a reason not to freeze $31,591,199,764.95 as a permanent law of the state. The keys — awarding agency and place-of-performance state — remain the definition of the page even if the dollars move.

Questions

How much has DoD obligated in Maine?

USAspending records $31,591,199,764.95 in obligations for agency 097 with Maine place of performance, on 21,869 awards. That is an obligation join, not an outlay total. The pair is awarding agency 097 (Department of Defense) and place-of-performance Maine. It is not Department of Defense nationwide and not Maine from every awarding agency.

What is the average award?

About $1.44 million ($31,591,199,764.95 ÷ 21,869). Spreading the dollars across 21,869 records rather than a much larger file raises the mean. The mean is not a typical contract. That ratio uses only $31,591,199,764.95 and 21,869 from the packet. A mean hides mix: a few large instruments can sit beside many smaller ones.

Does this include New Hampshire?

No. Place of performance is Maine only. Other states are outside $31,591,199,764.95 and outside the 21,869 awards. Only place-of-performance Maine plus awarding agency 097 (Department of Defense) enter $31,591,199,764.95. Adjacent state codes are other filters, if they exist as ties at all.

Does the total name shipyards?

No. The facts are agency 097 and state ME. Facility names are not in the aggregate. The $31,591,199,764.95 total follows those two fields. The facts are agency 097 and place-of-performance Maine totaling $31,591,199,764.95 on 21,869 awards. Program names, sites, and mission splits are not in this aggregate and are not assigned shares of $31,591,199,764.95.
