How much Defense spending is coded to Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12)?

USAspending.gov lists $16,997,013,307.94 in Department of Defense obligations across 1,460 awards with place of performance in Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12). Agency 097 × PA-12 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Pennsylvania’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 52.1% of the district’s published total ($32,614,970,959.69). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $11,641,789.94, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $16,997,013,307.94 include every Defense program in PA-12?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split DoD components or contract versus assistance instruments. $16,997,013,307.94 is the combined obligation sum for agency 097 inside PA-12 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of Defense and Pennsylvania 12th District to inspect parent tables. 1,460 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $16,997,013,307.94 cash already paid in Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12)?

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 $16,997,013,307.94 as checks already cleared in Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 1,460 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

Do FEC donations fund these Defense awards in PA-12?

No. FEC receipts and USAspending obligations are different datasets. Sharing Pennsylvania geography does not mean donations funded $16,997,013,307.94 in Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12). This page reports USAspending.gov awarding-agency 097 crossed with place of performance PA-12. It does not report campaign finance.

Department of Defense obligations in Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12)

Awarding agency 097 and Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) meet at $16,997,013,307.94 in USAspending.gov obligations, spread across 1,460 awards. One thousand four hundred sixty Defense-coded awards cover about half of PA-12’s district obligation total, a large Department of Defense column that still leaves a substantial remainder on other awarding agencies. That pair is Department of Defense and Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) — not Pennsylvania’s entire federal inflow, not Department of Defense nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 52.1% of this district’s published obligation total ($32,614,970,959.69). Implied average obligation is about $11,641,789.94 ($16,997,013,307.94 ÷ 1,460). Correlation is not causation.

Reading agency 097 inside PA-12

Awarding agency 097 and congressional district PA-12 meet here. $16,997,013,307.94 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 12th District (PA-12), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split DoD components or contract versus assistance instruments. 1,460 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a base census, a weapons inventory, or a named-contractor file.

This page reports Defense awarding activity USAspending tagged to this district. The headline $16,997,013,307.94 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $32,614,970,959.69; the 52.1% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of Pennsylvania districts as winners or losers. District 90 and 98 placeholders are omitted from this harvest. Obligations are not outlays.

Agency 097 without inventing a component pie

USAspending labels awarding agency 097 as Department of Defense. That code produced $16,997,013,307.94 when crossed with Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) place of performance. The agency-wide 097 hub does not require PA-12 geography. The district hub does not require Defense. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 1,460 awards. The packet does not split DoD components or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) did not “cause” $16,997,013,307.94 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 097 × PA-12 only. It is not a base census, a weapons inventory, 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.

How Pennsylvania geography is coded on this join

Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) 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-12 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Pennsylvania districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 097. Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Pennsylvania. Other Pennsylvania districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 097. Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) is a numbered place-of-performance stamp inside Pennsylvania. Other Pennsylvania districts keep their own Defense or non-Defense cells.

Pennsylvania federal spending shows how agency 097 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $16,997,013,307.94 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Department of Defense. The district-wide obligation total published here is $32,614,970,959.69; $16,997,013,307.94 is the Defense slice of that denominator.

What the dollar figure is allowed to mean

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $16,997,013,307.94 is that kind of sum for Department of Defense inside PA-12 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 $16,997,013,307.94 as given.

Pennsylvania’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 1,460-row Defense cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 1,460 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 ($11,641,789.94) is a concentration statistic, not a typical PA-12 Defense payment.

Parents of this tie: district, agency, state

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Defense (agency 097) obligated $16,997,013,307.94 on 1,460 awards coded to Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12). Name Department of Defense and Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) together. Keep the obligation word. If Pennsylvania 12th District or Department of Defense has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a base census, a weapons inventory, or a named-contractor file. 52.1% of $32,614,970,959.69 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Keep Department of Defense, Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12), $16,997,013,307.94, and 1,460 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Defense is the 097 parent without a PA-12 filter. Pennsylvania federal spending is the Pennsylvania parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with Defense does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

Limits of the PA-12 × 097 snapshot

1,460 awards is a moderately thick Defense file. A fifty-two percent share is arithmetic on packet facts, not a performance score. 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 $11,641,789.94) and the district share (52.1% of $32,614,970,959.69) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Pennsylvania 12th District and Department of Defense if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) 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 $16,997,013,307.94 and 1,460 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
