Department of Defense in Pennsylvania 5th District (PA-05)

The Defense × PA-05 cell on USAspending.gov is $12,089,757,717.79 in obligations across 14,746 awards. Fourteen thousand seven hundred forty-six Defense-coded awards cover about seventy-five percent of PA-05's district obligation total — a high-share Pennsylvania Defense cell unlike PA-10's modest share on a much larger district book. That pair is Department of Defense and Pennsylvania 5th District (PA-05) — not Pennsylvania's entire federal inflow, not Department of Defense nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 75.2% of this district's published obligation total ($16,085,314,580.16). Implied average obligation is about $819,866.93 ($12,089,757,717.79 ÷ 14,746). Correlation is not causation.

A place-of-performance join: Defense × PA-05

Awarding agency 097 and congressional district PA-05 meet here. $12,089,757,717.79 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 Pennsylvania 5th District (PA-05), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split military departments or contract versus assistance instruments. 14,746 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not an installation map, a platform catalog, or a named-contractor file.

Dividing $12,089,757,717.79 by 14,746 yields about $819,866.93 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 14,746 rows is a thick Defense file. Mass row counts are still not unique vendors. Do not treat PA-05's 097 cell as a synonym for every Defense account nationwide. Open Pennsylvania 5th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Defense for agency 097 without a PA-05 filter, Pennsylvania federal spending for every awarding agency in the Pennsylvania extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $12,089,757,717.79.

Department of Defense as awarding agency, not as a named-vendor list

USAspending labels awarding agency 097 as Department of Defense. That code produced $12,089,757,717.79 when crossed with Pennsylvania 5th District (PA-05) place of performance. The agency-wide 097 hub does not require PA-05 geography. The district hub does not require Defense. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 14,746 awards. The packet does not split military departments or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Pennsylvania 5th District (PA-05) did not cause $12,089,757,717.79 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 097 × PA-05 only. This cell is not an installation map, a platform catalog, or a named-contractor file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

Place of performance for Pennsylvania 5th District (PA-05)

Pennsylvania 5th District (PA-05) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list PA-05 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Pennsylvania districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 097. Pennsylvania 5th District (PA-05) is not Pennsylvania 10th. Same awarding-agency code 097, different place-of-performance stamps and different denominators.

Obligation math for this join

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $12,089,757,717.79 is that kind of sum for Department of Defense inside PA-05 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. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $12,089,757,717.79 as given.

Pennsylvania's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 14,746-row Defense cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 14,746 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($819,866.93) is a concentration statistic, not a typical PA-05 Defense payment.

If Pennsylvania 5th District or Department of Defense has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not an installation map, a platform catalog, or a named-contractor file. 75.2% of $16,085,314,580.16 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Using 75.2% and $819,866.93 without overclaiming

14,746 rows is a thick Defense file. Mass row counts are still not unique vendors. A higher share than PA-10 does not rank PA-05 as more Defense-dependent. The district books differ. This page does not publish a league table. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $819,866.93) and the district share (75.2% of $16,085,314,580.16) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Pennsylvania 5th District and Department of Defense if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Pennsylvania 5th District (PA-05) as more Defense-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 097 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 097 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $12,089,757,717.79 and 14,746 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
