HHS federal obligations in Indiana (agency 075)
USAspending.gov records $393,487,538,847 in Department of Health and Human Services obligations coded to agency 075 with Indiana place of performance, across only 3,646 awards. That is a high dollar total on a short row list. Average obligation per award is about $107,923,077 — a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical Indiana grant.
Key figures
- HHS (075) in Indiana: $393,487,538,847 across 3,646 awards.
- Average obligation per award is about $107,923,077.
- The total is obligations, not outlays, and not nationwide HHS.
- IN is place of performance, not a services-received claim.
What the HHS–Indiana join is
Awarding agency 075 and place-of-performance state IN meet here. $393,487,538,847 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not HHS’s national budget, not Indiana’s entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. It is a filter on USAspending.gov.
3,646 is a modest action count beside $393.5 billion in commitments. A few large awards can dominate a dollar total even when the row count looks small. The join does not rank Indiana against other states and does not name the programs inside HHS.
Open Department of Health and Human Services in Indiana for the filtered table, Indiana federal spending for all agencies, Department of Health and Human Services for agency 075 nationwide, and All spending ties for other pairs.
A short award list next to a large dollar total
Dividing $393,487,538,847 by 3,646 yields about $107,923,077 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical Indianapolis health-system award and not a typical county grant. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows; 3,646 is not a unique-recipient census.
Pharmaceutical and device folklore may explain why a reader opens this pair. Those stories are not packet NAICS. Agency names and recipient rows live on the overlay table, not in this narrative’s extra columns.
Agency 075 without an Indiana overlay is a different total
The agency-wide Department of Health and Human Services page aggregates 075 without requiring IN geography. The Indiana federal spending page aggregates all agencies with Indiana place of performance. Only /states/in/agencies/075/ applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 3,646 awards and $393,487,538,847.
Place of performance in Indiana is a USAspending geography field. Work can occur elsewhere after obligation. HHS awards coded to Illinois or Ohio do not sit in this total even if the vendor’s mailroom is in Indianapolis.
Obligations, not outlays
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $393,487,538,847 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as money already spent in Indiana over-reads the field.
Award count 3,646 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use the Indiana–HHS overlay.
What this pair does not prove
A large HHS total in Indiana does not mean the agency caused Indiana’s health-sector mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between a manufacturing-and-health economy and HHS awards is expected; it is not a finding about quality or waste.
Keep $393,487,538,847 labeled as agency 075 obligations with Indiana place of performance. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug.
How to cite the Indiana–HHS pair
A clean footnote names awarding agency 075 (Department of Health and Human Services), Indiana place of performance, $393,487,538,847 in obligations, and 3,646 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $393,487,538,847 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $107,923,077 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical grant.
Department of Health and Human Services in Indiana, Indiana federal spending, Department of Health and Human Services, and All spending ties all follow that rule. A later ingest can restate $393,487,538,847 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Indianapolis folklore is not a metro split in this packet; 3,646 awards stay statewide. A short award list is still a record count, including modifications. Do not rank Indiana as healthier because HHS dollars are large. Health outcomes are not a field in this packet. Pharmaceutical names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Keep the obligation label in every reuse of this pair.
