Department of Defense federal obligations in Nevada
USAspending.gov records $8,597,184,645.71 in Department of Defense obligations under awarding agency 097 with place of performance in Nevada, across 9,679 awards. Nellis, Creech, Fallon, and Nevada Test and Training Range folklore is what most readers bring to a Defense–Nevada cell. This packet does not name an installation, a range, or a platform. The pair is Department of Defense and Nevada — not Nevada’s entire federal inflow and not cash already paid. Average obligation is about $888,231 ($8,597,184,645.71 ÷ 9,679).

What the DoD–Nevada join is
Awarding agency 097 and place-of-performance state NV meet here. $8,597,184,645.71 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Defense’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Nevada, and not an outlay register. Services and defense agencies can roll up under 097. 9,679 awards against $8.60 billion is a mid-thickness Defense book, not a count of sorties.
9,679 is a mid-thickness book: not a handful of oversized rows, not a farm-program flood of small actions. Modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Dividing $8,597,184,645.71 by 9,679 yields about $888,231 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line.
Open Department of Defense in Nevada for the live filtered table, Nevada federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Defense for agency 097 without a Nevada filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $8,597,184,645.71.
Awarding agency 097 as the DoD side
USAspending labels awarding agency 097 as Department of Defense. That code produced $8,597,184,645.71 when crossed with Nevada place of performance. The agency-wide 097 hub does not require NV geography. The Nevada hub does not require DoD. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 9,679 awards.
Readiness scores, civilian payroll at a named base, and a weapons list are not facts here. Agency 097 plus NV is an awarding-agency and geography join, not an order-of-battle. A second DoD slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Nevada’s 097 cell as a synonym for every DoD account.
Nevada as place of performance (NV)
Nevada on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Nevada residents. Awards can list NV while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged California, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, or Oregon remain on those ties even when a contractor’s mailroom is in Las Vegas. Clark County and northern Nevada share one NV stamp.
Nevada federal spending shows how agency 097 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $8,597,184,645.71 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Nevada by county, metro, or congressional district.
Obligations, not outlays
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $8,597,184,645.71 is that kind of sum for Department of Defense inside Nevada coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them.
Nevada’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 9,679-row DoD cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $8,597,184,645.71 as given. Treat 9,679 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors.

Questions
- How much DoD spending is coded to Nevada?
- USAspending.gov lists $8,597,184,645.71 in Department of Defense obligations across 9,679 Nevada-coded awards. Agency 097 × NV is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Nevada’s complete federal ledger. Department of Defense in Nevada is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $888,231, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does this total include every DoD program in Nevada?
- The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup, not a program pie. $8,597,184,645.71 is the combined obligation sum for agency 097 inside Nevada coding. Open Department of Defense in Nevada to inspect award lines. 9,679 is an action count, not a program count. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not invent a CFDA split from the department label.
- Is $8,597,184,645.71 cash already paid in Nevada?
- No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline.
