How much Energy Department funding is obligated in Idaho?

USAspending records $26,605,914,999.89 in obligations for awarding agency 089 (Department of Energy) with Idaho place of performance, covering 144 awards. That is an obligation aggregate for this pair, not an outlay figure and not DOE’s national total.

Why are there only 144 Energy awards in Idaho?

The 144 figure is the award-record count in the aggregate. Large site or management contracts can produce high dollars on few rows. The packet does not name those contracts. Mean obligation is about $184.76 million.

Is this the Idaho National Laboratory’s budget?

The facts do not name laboratories or sites. The filter is agency 089 plus ID place of performance. $26,605,914,999.89 includes whatever records carry both tags, and excludes Energy awards tagged to other states.

Is this Idaho’s total federal spending?

No. This join is awarding agency 089 only. Idaho’s statewide hub includes every awarding agency. $26,605,914,999.89 is the Energy slice.

Department of Energy federal obligations in Idaho

USAspending.gov records $26,605,914,999.89 in Department of Energy obligations under awarding agency 089 with place of performance in Idaho, across 144 awards. The story of this join is concentration: roughly $26.61 billion sits on only 144 award records, a mean of about $184.76 million per award. The pair names Energy as the awarding agency and Idaho as the geography tag. It does not identify a laboratory, a cleanup site, or a contractor, and it does not say Idaho’s state budget funded these obligations. Figures are obligations, not outlays.

Key figures

DOE agency 089 shows $26,605,914,999.89 in Idaho place-of-performance obligations on 144 awards.
Mean obligation is about $184.76 million per award — a highly concentrated cell.
Award count is not a vendor headcount or a named-site budget.
The join is not DOE nationally and not all Idaho federal spending.
Figures are obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

Few rows, large Energy dollars

This page is the intersection of awarding agency 089 and Idaho (ID) place of performance. The $26,605,914,999.89 total is the USAspending aggregate for that pair. One hundred forty-four awards is the matching count. Idaho’s all-agency spending is a wider table; Energy’s national profile is a wider table in the other direction. This cell is only the overlap.

A 144-row book against $26.61 billion is among the most concentrated state–agency shapes in this batch. That geometry is consistent with large management-and-operating or site contracts, but the packet does not name those vehicles. Treating 144 as “144 Idaho companies” would misread award records. Treating the dollars as proof of a single named site would add a label the facts do not carry.

Awarding agency 089

Code 089 is the Department of Energy in this extract. Power-marketing administrations, science offices, and environmental-management awarding offices can roll up under that parent in USAspending. This join does not split them. The overlay /states/id/agencies/089/ is the same pair in table form.

The national Energy hub will show other states and a different award mix. Quoting $26,605,914,999.89 as DOE’s full obligation total would drop the Idaho filter. Quoting 144 as the department’s entire award inventory would drop every other state.

Idaho on the geography field

Idaho is state code ID. Place of performance can reflect work in-state, a contractor address, or a reporting convention for a multi-state effort that is tagged to Idaho. Awards coded to Washington, Wyoming, Utah, or Montana do not enter this $26,605,914,999.89 sum. The join cannot re-allocate dollars along a regional power grid or a waste-shipment route.

Idaho federal spending as a whole includes SSA, HHS, Defense, and other agencies. Energy is one awarding column. A large Energy cell does not make Idaho’s other agency cells small; those are separate filters with their own facts.

The $184.76 million average

Dividing $26,605,914,999.89 by 144 awards yields about $184.76 million per award. That mean is a warning against reading the table as a list of small purchases. It is also a warning against assuming every award is that size: one or two very large actions can dominate a 144-row set. The packet has no median and no top-award list.

Net obligations can include de-obligations. 144 remains a count of award records in the aggregate, not a count of Idaho counties or of completed construction projects.

What the Energy–Idaho pair is not

Sharing a state with DOE does not mean Idaho campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. The page does not rank Idaho as more energy-dependent than other states. It reports one USAspending join.

How to read the Idaho–Energy numbers

Idaho Energy’s 144 awards and $26,605,914,999.89 invite a site-name guess. Guessing is not documenting. The overlay path /states/id/agencies/089/ is keyed to agency and state, not to a laboratory identifier. If a named site belongs in the total, it belongs because its awards carry ID and 089 — not because this narrative said so. Management-and-operating contracts, cleanup vehicles, and science awards can all hide under 089. One hundred forty-four rows is few enough that a single vehicle could dominate the mean of about $184.76 million. Without a top-award list, that possibility stays a possibility. Do not treat the mean as the size of “the Idaho contract.”

Eastern Idaho, the Treasure Valley, and the Panhandle share ID. The geography field does not split them. Washington, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and Oregon tags are outside $26,605,914,999.89. A regional power or waste story that needs those states needs other pages.
