Department of Defense obligations in Utah

Defense awards tagged to Utah

The pair is 097 × UT. $30,838,312,367.20 is the obligation sum. 18,073 is the award count. Eighteen thousand records under $30.84 billion produces a mean near $1.71 million. That mean mixes vehicles. Ranking Utah against Colorado or Nevada would require other packets.

The join does not identify ranges, depots, or contractors. Those nouns are not in the facts.

Repeat the pair until it sticks: $30,838,312,367.20 on 18,073 awards, both keys required. Drop the state and the agency hub takes over. Drop the agency and the state hub takes over. This page is the remainder after both filters.

Agency 097 versus Utah’s full mix

The Department of Defense hub without Utah will not equal $30,838,312,367.20. The Utah hub without 097 includes civilian awarding agencies. Overlay /states/ut/agencies/097/ is the both-keys table for 18,073 awards.

The architecture is simple. One hub is the agency without geography. One hub is the geography without this agency. One overlay is both. $30,838,312,367.20 and 18,073 belong to the overlay. The hubs answer different questions.

Utah is not the interior West

Place of performance UT excludes Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, and Wyoming. Defense awards coded to those states are outside $30,838,312,367.20. Place of performance is not contractor headquarters.

The Utah federal spending hub shows 097 next to other agencies that also use UT. Adjacency is not a supply chain.

Geography here is the place-of-performance state on the award, not a metro name, not a commuting zone, and not a list of neighboring states. $30,838,312,367.20 does not grow because a region “feels” connected. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Record counts and missing years

Award count 18,073 is records, not unique vendors. The obligation sum is $30,838,312,367.20. Outlays are unpublished. No year is in the facts.

Modifications can rest on one ID. The average is not a typical prime contract.

What the pair does not prove

Defense obligations in Utah do not measure the state’s economy. They do not connect USAspending to FEC receipts. See Department of Defense in Utah, Utah federal spending, Department of Defense, and All spending ties.

How to read this pair next to the hubs

Utah’s Defense pair is $30,838,312,367.20 on 18,073 awards. Installation names are not in the facts.

Navigation: Department of Defense in Utah for the pair, Utah federal spending for all agencies on this geography, Department of Defense for this agency without the state, All spending ties for other joins. Quote $30,838,312,367.20 with both keys. Quote 18,073 as records.

Legal commitments can be de-obligated. Payments can trail. This page has the commitment field only. $30,838,312,367.20 is therefore not a cash figure. The geography field is not a services roster.

Snapshot versus live table: if they diverge, the overlay wins. Do not forecast from the average. Do not blend FEC and USAspending. The intersection is $30,838,312,367.20 on 18,073 awards.

A join page is a refusal as much as it is a total. It refuses to treat $30,838,312,367.20 as the agency’s national ledger. It refuses to treat 18,073 as the state’s entire federal award file. It refuses to treat neighboring state codes as if they were included. It refuses to treat FEC itemized receipts as if they paid for USAspending obligations. After those refusals, what remains is usable: Department of Defense in Utah for the pair, Utah federal spending for the geography mix, Department of Defense for the agency without this state, and a clearly labeled obligation sum of $30,838,312,367.20 on 18,073 awards.

Snapshot language matters. $30,838,312,367.20 and 18,073 are the harvest used to write this file. USAspending aggregates can be rebuilt. If a later overlay disagrees, the live table is the operational source and this prose is historical relative to that packet. That is not a reason to ignore the join; it is a reason not to freeze $30,838,312,367.20 as a permanent law of the state. The keys — awarding agency and place-of-performance state — remain the definition of the page even if the dollars move.

State lines in USAspending are codes, not culture. Informal regions do not add into $30,838,312,367.20. A vendor headquartered elsewhere can still appear if performance is tagged here; a local vendor can vanish from 18,073 if performance is tagged elsewhere. Those coding facts are why this page will not narrate $30,838,312,367.20 as “the federal government chose this state” in a causal sense. It will narrate $30,838,312,367.20 as the obligation sum inside a two-field filter, with 18,073 records, on Department of Defense in Utah, with parents at Utah federal spending and Department of Defense.

Questions

How much has DoD obligated in Utah?

USAspending records $30,838,312,367.20 in obligations for agency 097 with Utah place of performance, on 18,073 awards. That is an obligation join, not an outlay total. The pair is awarding agency 097 (Department of Defense) and place-of-performance Utah. It is not Department of Defense nationwide and not Utah from every awarding agency.

What is the average award?

About $1.71 million ($30,838,312,367.20 ÷ 18,073). The mean mixes vehicles and is not a typical contract. That ratio uses only $30,838,312,367.20 and 18,073 from the packet. A mean hides mix: a few large instruments can sit beside many smaller ones.

Does this include Colorado or Nevada?

No. Place of performance is Utah only. Other states are outside $30,838,312,367.20 and outside the 18,073 awards. Only place-of-performance Utah plus awarding agency 097 (Department of Defense) enter $30,838,312,367.20. Adjacent state codes are other filters, if they exist as ties at all.

Does the total list installations?

No. The facts are agency 097 and state UT. Installation names are not in the aggregate. The $30,838,312,367.20 total follows those two fields. The facts are agency 097 and place-of-performance Utah totaling $30,838,312,367.20 on 18,073 awards. Program names, sites, and mission splits are not in this aggregate and are not assigned shares of $30,838,312,367.20.
