Department of Defense obligations in New York 25th District (NY-25)
This page is not New York's statewide DoD total and not every awarding agency in New York 25th District (NY-25). It is Department of Defense (agency 097) crossed with NY-25 place of performance: $5,143,614,042.99 in USAspending.gov obligations on 5,464 awards. That cell is about 34.9% of the $14,752,672,767.49 district-wide book. Correlation is not causation. Obligations are not outlays.
Key figures
- Department of Defense in NY-25 shows $5,143,614,042.99 in USAspending obligations on 5,464 awards.
- 5,464 awards are a row count, not a census of installations, contractors, or service members.
- The join is agency 097 plus NY-25, not SSA 028 and not NY-03 Defense.
- The total is commitments, not outlays. FEC donations do not fund this cell.
DoD × NY-25 is not SSA on the same district
New York 25th District (NY-25) also hosts an SSA cell in this slice. Defense agency 097 is a different awarding agency on the same district geography. Mixing DoD and SSA invents a combined NY-25 figure the packet never computed. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $5,143,614,042.99 on 5,464 awards for awarding agency 097 with New York 25th District (NY-25) 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 5,464 awards equal 5,464 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 $5,143,614,042.99 unless those awards also carry agency 097 and NY-25 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 NY-25 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $5,143,614,042.99 in a district treasury. New York 3rd District Defense is a different geography. Do not mix NY-03 into NY-25 Defense.
5,464 Defense awards in New York 25th District
Five thousand four hundred sixty-four DoD awards is a thick-middle file, far thicker than the SSA file on the same district. Mean obligation is about $941,364.21 if $5,143,614,042.99 were divided evenly across 5,464 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 New York 25th District for the stored district table and Department of Defense for the national agency shelf. Do not convert 5,464 into a map of installations, contractors, or service members inside New York 25th District. The $5,143,614,042.99 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on USAspending.gov rather than inferring an inventory.
NY-25 DoD obligations are 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 $5,143,614,042.99 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 $5,143,614,042.99 into a yearly run rate.
Keep the obligation word on $5,143,614,042.99. Keep both Department of Defense and New York 25th District (NY-25) 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 New York 25th District Defense table omits
The extract has no roster of installations, contractors, or service members. Facts remain $5,143,614,042.99, 5,464 awards, agency 097 (Department of Defense), New York 25th District (NY-25), and a district-wide book of $14,752,672,767.49. This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling district-agency joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score.
New York 25th District places NY-25 among other congressional districts. Department of Defense places agency 097 among other awarding agencies. New York federal spending is the statewide shelf. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of New York spending or of Department of Defense's national book the packet never computed. The $5,143,614,042.99 figure is the tagged pair only. New York 3rd District Defense is a different geography. Do not mix NY-03 into NY-25 Defense.
Citing Department of Defense (agency 097) in NY-25
A clean footnote names Department of Defense (agency 097), New York 25th District (NY-25), $5,143,614,042.99 in obligations, and 5,464 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not relabel 5,464 as a census of installations, contractors, or service members. Quote the district overlay if you need every awarding agency in NY-25, and quote the agency page if you need Department of Defense without a district filter. About 34.9% of the $14,752,672,767.49 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 NY-25. The headline $5,143,614,042.99 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 New York 25th 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.
