Department of Defense in Mississippi 3rd District (MS-03)

How agency 097 meets Mississippi 3rd District (MS-03)

This page is a join: Department of Defense and Mississippi 3rd District (MS-03). $3,573,537,701.13 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Mississippi’s statewide Department of Defense book, not the nationwide Department of Defense total, and not an outlay register. Mississippi 3rd District is the district parent without this agency filter. Department of Defense is the agency parent without the MS-03 filter. Correlation is not causation.

1,023 is an award-action count. Modifications, delivery orders, and repeat vehicles add rows. Unique vendors are unpublished. Dividing $3,573,537,701.13 by 1,023 yields about $3,493,194.23 per award, a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical invoice and not a jobs figure. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Department of Defense as the awarding-agency side

Agency 097 is stored as Department of Defense. The awarding-agency tag does not name military departments, installations, platforms, or vendors. This packet lists none of those parties. Social Security Administration joins in Mississippi 1st District and Mississippi 4th District are different agency keys. Packet facts on the agency side are the name Department of Defense, code 097, and the join dollars $3,573,537,701.13. Confusing this join with Mississippi statewide Defense totals or an SSA cell in MS-01 or MS-04 would be a different overlay.

Department of Defense drops the district filter. Other districts with Department of Defense awards are other ties. This page quotes only Mississippi 3rd District (MS-03). District 90/98 placeholders are omitted from this harvest by design. A later ingest can restate the MS-03 Defense cell without changing the join key of agency 097 and district MS-03. Do not add a contractor roster the extract omitted.

Mississippi 3rd District (MS-03) as place of performance

This packet does not split MS-03 by city, county, or installation. Mississippi federal spending is the statewide parent and includes other districts. Place of performance MS-03 is a geography field in the award file. It does not prove residency of workers or vendors.

What the Defense × MS-03 pair cannot prove
