Department of Defense federal obligations in Tennessee

What the DoD–Tennessee join is

Awarding agency 097 and place-of-performance state TN meet here. $13,106,515,451.82 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 Tennessee, and not an outlay register. Military departments and defense agencies can roll up under awarding agency 097. This join does not split Army, Navy, Air Force, or other Defense components. 44,783 is a thick action file: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Dividing $13,106,515,451.82 by 44,783 yields about $292,667 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line, and it is not a named base budget, not a contractor roster, and not a force-structure table. A second DoD slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Tennessee’s 097 cell as a synonym for every DoD account.

Open Department of Defense in Tennessee for the live filtered table, Tennessee federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Defense for agency 097 without a Tennessee filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $13,106,515,451.82.

Awarding agency 097 as the DoD side

USAspending labels awarding agency 097 as Department of Defense. That code produced $13,106,515,451.82 when crossed with Tennessee place of performance. The agency-wide 097 hub does not require TN geography. The Tennessee hub does not require DoD. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 44,783 awards.

This page reports defense awarding activity that USAspending coded to Tennessee. Correlation is not causation: Tennessee did not “cause” $13,106,515,451.82 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 097 × TN only. Military departments and defense agencies can roll up under awarding agency 097. This join does not split Army, Navy, Air Force, or other Defense components.

Tennessee as place of performance (TN)

Tennessee on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Tennessee residents. Awards can list TN while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, or Missouri belong on those ties even when a Tennessee Valley story is the same. Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, and the rest of the counties share one TN stamp. Place of performance is TN, not a county map.

Tennessee federal spending shows how agency 097 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $13,106,515,451.82 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Tennessee by county, metro, or congressional district. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to DoD.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $13,106,515,451.82 is that kind of sum for Department of Defense inside Tennessee 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.

Tennessee’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 44,783-row DoD cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $13,106,515,451.82 as given. Treat 44,783 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.

How to cite DoD in Tennessee

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Defense (agency 097) obligated $13,106,515,451.82 on 44,783 awards coded to Tennessee. Name Department of Defense and Tennessee together. Keep the obligation word. If Department of Defense in Tennessee has refreshed, quote the overlay over this snapshot. The pair is not a named base budget, not a contractor roster, and not a force-structure table.

Keep Department of Defense, Tennessee, $13,106,515,451.82, and 44,783 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Defense is the 097 parent without a Tennessee filter. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a state with DoD does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

Reading a thick DoD file in Tennessee

44,783 is a thick action file: many rows against $13,106,515,451.82. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. Modifications, orders, and repeat instruments add rows without proving 44,783 unique recipients. The implied mean (about $292,667) is pulled down by volume. It is a concentration statistic, not a typical Tennessee DoD payment.

Do not rank Tennessee as more DoD-dependent than neighboring states on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 097 ties with different dollar totals. This snapshot holds $13,106,515,451.82 and 44,783 only. Prefer Department of Defense in Tennessee if the live table moved.

Questions

How much DoD spending is coded to Tennessee?

USAspending.gov lists $13,106,515,451.82 in Department of Defense obligations across 44,783 Tennessee-coded awards. Agency 097 × TN is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Tennessee’s complete federal ledger. Department of Defense in Tennessee is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $292,667, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does this total include every DoD program in Tennessee?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. Military departments and defense agencies can roll up under awarding agency 097. This join does not split Army, Navy, Air Force, or other Defense components. $13,106,515,451.82 is the combined obligation sum for agency 097 inside Tennessee coding. This page will not invent a program pie. Open Department of Defense in Tennessee to inspect award lines. 44,783 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $13,106,515,451.82 cash already paid in Tennessee?

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 $13,106,515,451.82 as checks already cleared in Tennessee confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 44,783 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.

Where is the live DoD–Tennessee table?
