Department of Defense federal obligations in New Mexico

What the DoD–New Mexico join is

Awarding agency 097 and place-of-performance state NM meet here. $8,578,753,803.84 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 New Mexico, and not an outlay register. 6,685 awards against $8.58 billion is a mid-thickness 097 book. Modifications add rows. Unique vendors are unpublished.

6,685 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $8,578,753,803.84 by 6,685 yields about $1.28 million 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 New Mexico for the live filtered table, New Mexico federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Defense for agency 097 without a New Mexico filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $8,578,753,803.84.

Awarding agency 097 as the DoD side

USAspending labels awarding agency 097 as Department of Defense. That code produced $8,578,753,803.84 when crossed with New Mexico place of performance. The agency-wide 097 hub does not require NM geography. The New Mexico hub does not require DoD. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 6,685 awards.

A readiness metric, a missile-test tally, and a national-lab budget (often Energy, not 097) are other questions. Do not move DOE dollars into this Defense cell. A second DoD slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat New Mexico’s 097 cell as a synonym for every DoD account.

New Mexico as place of performance (NM)

New Mexico on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to New Mexico residents. Awards can list NM while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged Texas, Arizona, Colorado, or Oklahoma stay on those ties even when the Chihuahuan desert story is the same. Albuquerque, Las Cruces, and the rest of NM share one stamp.

New Mexico federal spending shows how agency 097 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $8,578,753,803.84 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split New Mexico by county, metro, or congressional district.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $8,578,753,803.84 is that kind of sum for Department of Defense inside New Mexico 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.

New Mexico’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 6,685-row DoD cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $8,578,753,803.84 as given. Treat 6,685 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors.

Questions

How much DoD spending is coded to New Mexico?

USAspending.gov lists $8,578,753,803.84 in Department of Defense obligations across 6,685 New Mexico-coded awards. Agency 097 × NM is an obligation join, not an outlay and not New Mexico’s complete federal ledger. Department of Defense in New Mexico is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $1.28 million, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does this total include every DoD program in New Mexico?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup, not a program pie. $8,578,753,803.84 is the combined obligation sum for agency 097 inside New Mexico coding. Open Department of Defense in New Mexico to inspect award lines. 6,685 is an action count, not a program count. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not invent a CFDA split from the department label.

Is $8,578,753,803.84 cash already paid in New Mexico?

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. Treating $8,578,753,803.84 as checks already cleared in New Mexico confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 6,685 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
