Is $4,220,069,029.27 a measure of active-duty headcount, named installations, or jobs created?

No. The packet publishes $4,220,069,029.27 and 27,485 awards for agency 097 inside NE coding. Those other series are unpublished here. Unique recipients are unpublished. Quote the dollar total and the award count together. Obligations are not outlays.

Modifications and repeat instruments add rows. 27,485 is not unique active-duty headcount, named installations, or jobs created. Later ingests can revise the count. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.

A thick DOD file on Nebraska

Department of Defense as awarding agency, Nebraska as place-of-performance: 27,485 records summing to $4,220,069,029.27. A Department of Defense award coded outside NE is out. An award in Nebraska from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Nebraska (NE) excludes Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, and Missouri. An Offutt-adjacent Iowa-coded award is IA.

Twenty-seven thousand four hundred eighty-five awards is a thick Defense file. Volume can rise on modifications and repeat instruments without each row being a new contract. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 27,485 as 27,485 unique active-duty headcount, named installations, or jobs created. The overlay Department of Defense in Nebraska is the both-keys table. Nebraska federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Defense is the agency book without an NE filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This packet does not isolate STRATCOM from other 097 offices. $4,220,069,029.27 stays statewide. Correlation is not causation: Nebraska did not “cause” $4,220,069,029.27 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 097 × NE only.

Offutt folklore is not a packet field

$4,220,069,029.27 does not measure active-duty headcount, named installations, or jobs created. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 097 and an NE place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 27,485 awards as a census of active-duty headcount, named installations, or jobs created. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Nebraska federal spending or Department of Defense matched $4,220,069,029.27 and 27,485, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri DOD joins are other pairs, not addends.

Nebraska, not a STRATCOM-only map

Place of performance NE is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Nebraska (NE) excludes Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, and Missouri. An Offutt-adjacent Iowa-coded award is IA. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not isolate STRATCOM from other 097 offices. $4,220,069,029.27 stays statewide. This packet does not split $4,220,069,029.27 by city, county, or named facility. 27,485 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

High volume still means obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $4,220,069,029.27 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Nebraska confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Nebraska’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 27,485-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $4,220,069,029.27. Sharing a state with DOD does not mean campaign donations funded these awards.

Citing DOD in Nebraska

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Defense (agency 097) obligated $4,220,069,029.27 on 27,485 awards coded to Nebraska. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as active-duty headcount, named installations, or jobs created.

Prefer Department of Defense in Nebraska if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Nebraska federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NE. Department of Defense is the 097 parent without the NE filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $4,220,069,029.27.

A usable footnote names Department of Defense, Nebraska, $4,220,069,029.27, and 27,485. The compact headline $4.22 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $153,541 is $4,220,069,029.27 divided by 27,485. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
