Department of Defense obligations in North Carolina 9th District (NC-09)

The thickest DoD award file in this slice sits on NC-09

North Carolina 9th District (NC-09) holds the thickest Defense award file in this slice: more than twenty-five thousand rows. Thickness is a USAspending row count, not a map of installations, which are not in the packet. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $4,149,922,228.40 on 25,089 awards for awarding agency 097 with North Carolina 9th District (NC-09) as place of performance. Treat the pair as a table intersection, not a ranking of districts as winners or losers, and not a claim that 25,089 awards equal 25,089 Defense contractors. A Department of Defense amount tagged to a different district is out of this cell.

VA, DHS, or Energy awards that mention defense in a description sit outside $4,149,922,228.40 unless those awards also carry agency 097 and NC-09 geography. Mixing those lines would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and base employment or procurement headcount is not causation. Those series are not in the packet. Place of performance as NC-09 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $4,149,922,228.40 in a district treasury. Other North Carolina districts are excluded. This page is NC-09 geography only.

25,089 Defense rows in North Carolina 9th District

Twenty-five thousand eighty-nine DoD awards can include continuations and payment-file batches. It is not 25,089 contractors and not 25,089 service members. Mean obligation is about $165,408.04 if $4,149,922,228.40 were divided evenly across 25,089 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a published typical award. Award count is a row count of USAspending awards, including possible modifications. The extract does not split Army, Navy, Air Force, or other components inside agency 097. Unique recipients are unpublished.

This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open North Carolina 9th District for the stored district table and Department of Defense for the national agency shelf. Do not convert 25,089 into a map of installations, contractors, or service members inside North Carolina 9th District. The $4,149,922,228.40 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on USAspending.gov rather than inferring an inventory.

NC-09 DoD dollars are obligations, not invoices already paid

DoD obligations are commitments, not invoices already paid. DoD awards often obligate as contracts or assistance are recorded and draw as deliveries are billed. The $4,149,922,228.40 headline is the obligation sum on this district-agency join, not hardware already delivered or payroll already issued. Citing the figure as cash already sent confuses two USAspending concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. No fiscal year is attached to this packet; do not annualize $4,149,922,228.40 into a yearly run rate.

Keep the obligation word on $4,149,922,228.40. Keep both Department of Defense and North Carolina 9th District (NC-09) in the citation. Campaign contributions recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell. Different datasets can share a state abbreviation without sharing a money trail.

What the North Carolina 9th District Defense extract omits

The extract has no roster of installations, contractors, or service members. Facts remain $4,149,922,228.40, 25,089 awards, agency 097 (Department of Defense), North Carolina 9th District (NC-09), and a district-wide book of $9,446,023,244. This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling district-agency joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score.

North Carolina 9th District places NC-09 among other congressional districts. Department of Defense places agency 097 among other awarding agencies. North Carolina federal spending is the statewide shelf. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of North Carolina spending or of Department of Defense's national book the packet never computed. The $4,149,922,228.40 figure is the tagged pair only. Other North Carolina districts are excluded. This page is NC-09 geography only.

Citing Department of Defense in NC-09

A clean footnote names Department of Defense (agency 097), North Carolina 9th District (NC-09), $4,149,922,228.40 in obligations, and 25,089 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not relabel 25,089 as a census of installations, contractors, or service members. Quote the district overlay if you need every awarding agency in NC-09, and quote the agency page if you need Department of Defense without a district filter. About 43.9% of the $9,446,023,244 district book sits on this agency in the extract; that percentage is a derived ratio, not a separate published table.

A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is awarding agency 097. The other is congressional district place of performance as NC-09. The headline $4,149,922,228.40 is the obligation sum on that intersection. It is not a forecast, not a budget request, and not an outlay. It is also not a claim that Department of Defense caused North Carolina 9th District's economy to grow, or that the district caused the awards to exist. If a later ingest moves the live overlay, prefer the overlay when the table and this snapshot diverge.
