Department of Defense obligations in Texas 23rd District (TX-23)

DoD × TX-23 sits inside a larger district book

Texas 23rd District (TX-23) has a large all-agency obligation book. Defense agency 097 is about half of that book — a smaller share than TX-24's majority. Share is not a safer-or-worse ranking against other Texas districts. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $4,733,922,523.28 on 2,106 awards for awarding agency 097 with Texas 23rd District (TX-23) as place of performance. Treat the pair as a table intersection, not a ranking of districts as winners or losers, and not a claim that 2,106 awards equal 2,106 Defense contractors. A Department of Defense amount tagged to a different district is out of this cell.

VA, DHS, or Energy awards that mention defense in a description sit outside $4,733,922,523.28 unless those awards also carry agency 097 and TX-23 geography. Mixing those lines would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and base employment or procurement headcount is not causation. Those series are not in the packet. Place of performance as TX-23 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $4,733,922,523.28 in a district treasury. Texas 10th, 24th, and 21st District Defense joins stay in their own files.

2,106 Defense awards in Texas 23rd District

Two thousand one hundred six DoD awards is close to CA-20's grain on a different state tag. Matching row counts across states are coincidences of file size, not the same join. Mean obligation is about $2,247,826.46 if $4,733,922,523.28 were divided evenly across 2,106 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a published typical award. Award count is a row count of USAspending awards, including possible modifications. The extract does not split Army, Navy, Air Force, or other components inside agency 097. Unique recipients are unpublished.

This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open Texas 23rd District for the stored district table and Department of Defense for the national agency shelf. Do not convert 2,106 into a map of installations, contractors, or service members inside Texas 23rd District. The $4,733,922,523.28 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on USAspending.gov rather than inferring an inventory.

TX-23 DoD dollars remain obligations

DoD obligations are commitments, not invoices already paid. DoD awards often obligate as contracts or assistance are recorded and draw as deliveries are billed. The $4,733,922,523.28 headline is the obligation sum on this district-agency join, not hardware already delivered or payroll already issued. Citing the figure as cash already sent confuses two USAspending concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. No fiscal year is attached to this packet; do not annualize $4,733,922,523.28 into a yearly run rate.

Keep the obligation word on $4,733,922,523.28. Keep both Department of Defense and Texas 23rd District (TX-23) in the citation. Campaign contributions recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell. Different datasets can share a state abbreviation without sharing a money trail.

What Texas 23rd District Defense omits

The extract has no roster of installations, contractors, or service members. Facts remain $4,733,922,523.28, 2,106 awards, agency 097 (Department of Defense), Texas 23rd District (TX-23), and a district-wide book of $10,577,050,856.90. This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling district-agency joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score.

Texas 23rd District places TX-23 among other congressional districts. Department of Defense places agency 097 among other awarding agencies. Texas federal spending is the statewide shelf. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Texas spending or of Department of Defense's national book the packet never computed. The $4,733,922,523.28 figure is the tagged pair only. Texas 10th, 24th, and 21st District Defense joins stay in their own files.

How to cite DoD in TX-23 without mixing other Texas districts

A clean footnote names Department of Defense (agency 097), Texas 23rd District (TX-23), $4,733,922,523.28 in obligations, and 2,106 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not relabel 2,106 as a census of installations, contractors, or service members. Quote the district overlay if you need every awarding agency in TX-23, and quote the agency page if you need Department of Defense without a district filter. About 44.8% of the $10,577,050,856.90 district book sits on this agency in the extract; that percentage is a derived ratio, not a separate published table.

A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is awarding agency 097. The other is congressional district place of performance as TX-23. The headline $4,733,922,523.28 is the obligation sum on that intersection. It is not a forecast, not a budget request, and not an outlay. It is also not a claim that Department of Defense caused Texas 23rd District's economy to grow, or that the district caused the awards to exist. If a later ingest moves the live overlay, prefer the overlay when the table and this snapshot diverge.

USAspending.gov shows $4,733,922,523.28 in obligations for Department of Defense (agency 097) with Texas 23rd District (TX-23) as place of performance, across 2,106 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the district's entire defense or veterans budget. Other agencies in the district sit outside this join.

Do 2,106 awards mean 2,106 TX-23 installations?

No. Award count is a row count of USAspending awards and can include continuations. It is not a census of installations, contractors, or service members. The packet does not name recipients. Mean obligation of about $2,247,826.46 is a quotient, not a typical published award. See Texas 23rd District for stored lines.
