Department of Defense federal obligations in South Carolina

DoD’s South Carolina-coded award book

Keep two filters in view. Awarding agency is Department of Defense, agency 097. Geography is South Carolina. The surviving file is $15,492,829,931.18 and 118,356 awards. Army, Navy, Air Force, and other Defense awarding offices can share parent code 097. This packet does not split services or contract vs assistance. Other awarding agencies inside South Carolina sit on other pages even when the same metro hosts their work.

Dollars per record come to about $130,900. That mean mixes large assistance or contract vehicles with smaller actions. It is not a typical contract modification and not a typical payroll line. Unique recipients are unpublished. South Carolina’s Defense file is a six-figure action count. A thick contract book can pull the mean down without each row being a small purchase. The packet does not classify those 118,356 actions.

What the DoD–South Carolina pair is not

This join is not a troop count, a readiness score, or a base-employment census. $15,492,829,931.18 measures award obligations with a 097 awarding-agency code and a SC place-of-performance tag. South Carolina’s coastal and Upstate regions share the SC tag. This packet does not split Charleston from Greenville. North Carolina and Georgia awards remain other state cells.

Department of Defense in South Carolina is the overlay. South Carolina federal spending still includes every other awarding agency in the state extract. Department of Defense is the parent agency hub without a South Carolina filter. All spending ties holds the rest of the join list. Correlation is not causation: sharing a state with DoD does not mean the state caused the cell.

Obligation versus outlay on agency 097

Assistance and contract awards can obligate in one fiscal window and pay on a different schedule. $15,492,829,931.18 is the commitment sum. Treating it as cash already cleared in South Carolina confuses obligations with outlays. The packet does not assign a fiscal year to the headline; treat $15,492,829,931.18 as the obligation total present in the indexed file.

South Carolina’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 118,356-row DoD cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include de-obligations. The implied mean near $130,900 is dollars divided by records, not a typical contract modification and not a typical payroll line.

One SC tag, not Lowcountry versus Upstate

This packet does not split $15,492,829,931.18 by county, metro, or Charleston, Columbia, and the Upstate. 118,356 awards stay statewide. Neighboring North Carolina and Georgia remain other state cells even when labor markets or projects cross those lines. Publishing Lowcountry versus Upstate as a subtotal would invent a number.

Place of performance can follow work in-state, a recipient address, or a reporting convention. Department of Defense is the 097 hub without a South Carolina filter. Use it for the agency book; use this page for the SC intersection only.
