Department of Defense federal obligations in Oklahoma

Defense dollars tagged to Oklahoma

This page is the USAspending cell for awarding agency 097 and Oklahoma (OK) place of performance. The $22,974,348,260.55 total sums matching obligations. Oklahoma’s all-agency hub is the parent geography; the national Defense hub is the parent agency. This join is only the overlap.

Thirty-five thousand three hundred eleven awards is a substantial row count, but far from the hundred-thousand-plus Defense books in some other states. The count can include contracts, orders, and modifications. The facts do not name installations. Inferring a single air logistics center from the state tag would add a label the table does not carry.

Oklahoma’s 35,311 Defense records under $22,974,348,260.55 are enough volume to include modifications and delivery orders. Enough volume is not a proof they are included. The packet does not classify action types. Until a transaction file is opened, 35,311 is a row census for agency 097 and OK, and $22,974,348,260.55 is the net obligation tagged to that pair.

Agency 097 as the Defense parent

Code 097 is the Department of Defense in this extract. Military departments and defense agencies can roll up under that parent. This packet does not split them. The overlay /states/ok/agencies/097/ is the table view of the same pair.

A national Defense page will show a larger dollar total. Using $22,974,348,260.55 as the entire Defense obligation book would drop the Oklahoma filter. Using 35,311 as a headcount of Oklahoma defense workers would drop the award-record definition.

Oklahoma on the geography field

Oklahoma is state code OK. Place of performance can follow work in-state, a recipient address, or a reporting convention. Awards coded to Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, or New Mexico stay outside this $22,974,348,260.55 figure even when supply chains cross those lines. The join does not reconstruct those chains.

Statewide Oklahoma federal spending includes HHS, Agriculture, and other awarding agencies. Defense is one column. Comparing this cell to those columns compares filters, not which department “matters more” to Oklahoma residents.

A $650,629 mean in a 35,311-row book

Mean obligation of about $650,629 sits above high-volume Defense cells with tiny averages and below Energy cells with a few huge awards. The comparison is table geometry. It is not a typical unit price and not a median. A few large aircraft-related actions, if present, would pull the mean up; thousands of small supply buys would pull it down. The aggregate does not say which mix Oklahoma has.

Net obligations can include de-obligations. 35,311 remains a count of award records, not 35,311 unique vendors.

What the pair is not

Oklahoma place-of-performance tagging does not mean FEC receipts funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. The page does not rank Oklahoma as more militarized than neighboring states. It reports one USAspending join.

How to read the Oklahoma–Defense numbers

Oklahoma Defense ($22,974,348,260.55, 35,311 awards) is often narrated through air depots and artillery schools. Those names are not in the packet. The documented pair is 097 and OK. If a named installation belongs here, it belongs only insofar as its awards carry both tags — a test this narrative cannot run. Thirty-five thousand three hundred eleven rows sits between sparse Energy books and Illinois-style Defense torrents. That middle density produces a mean near $650,629. The mean still hides whatever mix of spare parts, services, and major end items Oklahoma actually has.

Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, New Mexico, and Colorado surround Oklahoma. A logistics chain can cross three of those in a day. USAspending still bins by one state tag. Dollars coded TX are not in $22,974,348,260.55.
