Department of Health and Human Services obligations in Iowa
Iowa place of performance and Department of Health and Human Services awarding agency 075 show $29,833,436,543.36 in USAspending.gov obligations on 2,328 awards. Iowa also has an SSA overlay; that is a different awarding-agency code. For HHS, $29,833,436,543.36 ÷ 2,328 is about $12.81 million per award. Obligations are not outlays. The two Iowa agency ties are not a combined benefits score.
Key figures
- HHS 075 × Iowa = $29,833,436,543.36 on 2,328 awards.
- Average obligation is about $12.81 million per award.
- SSA in Iowa is a different agency code with a thicker award file.
- Obligations are not outlays.
- IA is place of performance, not a Midwest rollup.
HHS in Iowa beside SSA in Iowa
This page is 075 × IA. $29,833,436,543.36 is the HHS obligation sum. 2,328 is the HHS award count. Social Security Administration in Iowa is 028. Sharing a state code is not sharing a ledger. Adding the two totals would invent a figure the packet does not publish.
About $12.81 million per award follows from a thin HHS file. The mean is not a typical research grant and not a typical benefit.
2,328 award records and $29,833,436,543.36 are the only two published facts that define this pair. Subtracting either key changes the number. The mean is arithmetic on those two facts. Readers who need a distribution have to leave this narrative for the overlay table.
Agency 075 as a rollup code
Department of Health and Human Services is the label on 075. This page does not split operating divisions. The agency hub without Iowa will not equal $29,833,436,543.36. Overlay /states/ia/agencies/075/ is the both-keys table for 2,328 awards.
If a citation of $29,833,436,543.36 does not mention both the awarding agency and the place-of-performance state, it is not citing this join. If a citation of 2,328 does not mention both keys, it is not this file’s count.
Iowa geography
Place of performance IA excludes Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. HHS awards coded to those states are outside $29,833,436,543.36. Place of performance is not an enrollment roster.
The Iowa federal spending hub shows 075 next to 028. Table neighbors are not a single pipeline.
Informal regions — coasts, valleys, capitals, “the South” — are not keys in this aggregate. $29,833,436,543.36 follows one state-equivalent code. Awards tagged to adjacent codes stay out even when work is described as regional.
What 2,328 records omit
They omit outlays, years, and unique recipients. The published $29,833,436,543.36 is a commitment aggregate. Award count is not clinics.
De-obligation can change a record. The harvested total is what this page cites.
Limits
The join does not measure health outcomes or farm-program overlap — farm agencies would be other codes. It does not claim donations funded awards. See Department of Health and Human Services in Iowa, Iowa federal spending, Department of Health and Human Services, and All spending ties.
How to read this pair next to the hubs
Iowa’s HHS pair is $29,833,436,543.36 on 2,328 awards. Iowa’s SSA overlay is a different filter.
Navigation: Department of Health and Human Services in Iowa for the pair, Iowa federal spending for all agencies on this geography, Department of Health and Human Services for this agency without the state, All spending ties for other joins. Quote $29,833,436,543.36 with both keys. Quote 2,328 as records.
Legal commitments can be de-obligated. Payments can trail. This page has the commitment field only. $29,833,436,543.36 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 $29,833,436,543.36 on 2,328 awards.
When two overlays share a state, they still do not share a ledger. Adding this $29,833,436,543.36 to another awarding agency’s total on the same geography would invent a combined figure the packet does not publish. 2,328 would not be comparable across agencies anyway, because reporting volume differs. The correct move is to read each overlay separately, then use Iowa federal spending if a side-by-side of agencies is required, and Department of Health and Human Services if a side-by-side of states for this agency is required. All spending ties lists the other pairs without summing them.
Readers who arrived from a search for a program name, a base, a clinic, or a highway will not find those nouns in the facts. Adding them would be atmosphere. $29,833,436,543.36 is an awarding-agency code crossed with a place-of-performance state. 2,328 is how many award records survive that cross. If a program-level or site-level question still needs answering, it needs a different table than this aggregate. This narrative will not fill the gap with guesses. It will send the reader to Department of Health and Human Services in Iowa for rows and to the parent hubs for wider totals.
Questions
- How much has HHS obligated in Iowa?
- USAspending records $29,833,436,543.36 in obligations for agency 075 with Iowa place of performance, on 2,328 awards. That is the HHS–Iowa join only. The pair is awarding agency 075 (Department of Health and Human Services) and place-of-performance Iowa. It is not Department of Health and Human Services nationwide and not Iowa from every awarding agency.
- Is SSA in Iowa included?
- No. Social Security Administration is a different awarding-agency overlay. This page is Department of Health and Human Services 075: $29,833,436,543.36 on 2,328 awards. Only place-of-performance Iowa plus awarding agency 075 (Department of Health and Human Services) enter $29,833,436,543.36. Adjacent state codes are other filters, if they exist as ties at all.
- What is the average award?
- About $12.81 million ($29,833,436,543.36 ÷ 2,328). A thin file raises the mean. The mean is not a typical grant. That ratio uses only $29,833,436,543.36 and 2,328 from the packet. A mean hides mix: a few large instruments can sit beside many smaller ones.
- Are these outlays?
- No. The aggregate is obligations. The 2,328 figure is an award-record count. USAspending’s source note for this aggregate is that obligations are not outlays. Place of performance Iowa is a geography tag, not a roster of residents, vendors, or named facilities.
