Defense versus HHS in Massachusetts

Awarding agency 097 and place-of-performance MA define this join. The $100,937,122,694.36 obligation total is Defense only. HHS (075) is a separate Massachusetts tie with a thicker dollar total and a thinner award file. SSA (028) is a third Massachusetts cell in this harvest.

Ninety-three thousand six hundred seventy-eight awards is close to Arizona DoD’s 96,120. Similar Defense row counts do not prove similar programs. The packet has no lab-versus-depot split.

Massachusetts’s Defense cell is $100,937,122,694.36 on 93,678 awards. Research English labels invite lab lists. The packet does not name Hanscom, Natick, or Lincoln Laboratory. This page does not either. Massachusetts Defense is $100,937,122,694.36 on 93,678 awards. Named labs are not in the packet. Readers who already know those labs still cannot attach this aggregate to them from these facts. Keep 097 separate from Massachusetts HHS ($131.0 billion, 14,850 awards) and SSA ($80.4 billion, 5,743 awards). The $1.08 million mean is dollars divided by rows. New Hampshire-, Rhode Island-, Connecticut-, and New York-tagged awards stay on those ties. Obligations are not outlays.

Awarding agency 097 without a campus list

Code 097 is Department of Defense. Components can all land in 097. The packet does not name Hanscom, Natick, or any other site. Calling $100,937,122,694.36 “Hanscom spending” would invent geography the facts do not provide.

The national 097 hub drops the Massachusetts filter. Facts here: obligation sum, 93,678 awards, state MA, code 097. No fiscal-year series is supplied.

Middlesex, Suffolk, and the rest of the state share one MA tag. The join does not isolate Route 128. Awards tagged NH, RI, CT, or NY stay on those ties. Restating the pair does not name Hanscom or Natick. Awarding agency 097 and place-of-performance MA produced $100,937,122,694.36 across 93,678 awards. The $1.08 million mean is close to Arizona DoD. Keep 097 separate from Massachusetts HHS and SSA. Boston is not a subtotal. Obligations remain commitments, not outlays.

Massachusetts as place of performance

Massachusetts is USAspending state code MA. Performance in Middlesex County, a recipient in Suffolk County, and a record that only stamps MA can all sit inside $100,937,122,694.36. Awards tagged NH, RI, CT, or NY stay on those ties.

Statewide Massachusetts federal spending is the parent. Agency 097 is one awarding agency there. $100.9 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint.

Ninety-three thousand six hundred seventy-eight records sit close to Arizona DoD’s 96,120. Similar Defense row counts do not prove similar programs. The $1.08 million mean is dollars divided by rows. Geography remains a stamp, not a lab list. MA-tagged Defense awards totaling $100,937,122,694.36 across 93,678 records do not name Hanscom or Natick. New Hampshire-tagged awards stay on that tie. The $1.08 million mean is still dollars divided by rows. Keep 097 separate from Massachusetts HHS and SSA.

93,678 awards and a $1.08 million mean

Average obligation is about $1.08 million ($100,937,122,694.36 ÷ 93,678). That is close to Arizona DoD and far below HHS Massachusetts’s $8.82 million mean, because HHS posts fewer rows. Different cabinets, different shapes.

Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $100,937,122,694.36 as given. Treat 93,678 as award records in the aggregate.

Keep 097 separate from Massachusetts HHS (14,850 awards, $131.0 billion) and Massachusetts SSA (5,743 awards, $80.4 billion). Three cabinets, three cells.

What the Massachusetts–DoD pair is not

A shared state tag does not mean Massachusetts selected these awards, and it does not mean Defense outlays equal $100,937,122,694.36 inside the state. FEC donations do not fund this cell. Correlation is not causation.

Labs are not listed because they are not in the facts
