HHS federal obligations in Minnesota (agency 075)

What the HHS–Minnesota join is

Awarding agency 075 and place-of-performance state MN meet here. $487,719,972,359 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not HHS’s national budget, not Minnesota’s entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. It is a filter on USAspending.gov.

5,670 is a modest action count beside $487.7 billion in commitments. A few large awards can dominate a dollar total even when the row count looks small. The join does not rank Minnesota against other states and does not name the programs inside HHS.

Open Department of Health and Human Services in Minnesota for the filtered table, Minnesota 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 $487,719,972,359 by 5,670 yields about $86,017,632 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical Mayo-campus award and not a typical county health grant. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows; 5,670 is not a unique-recipient census.

Medical-device and health-system 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 a Minnesota overlay is a different total

The agency-wide Department of Health and Human Services page aggregates 075 without requiring MN geography. The Minnesota federal spending page aggregates all agencies with Minnesota place of performance. Only /states/mn/agencies/075/ applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 5,670 awards and $487,719,972,359.

Place of performance in Minnesota is a USAspending geography field. Work can occur elsewhere after obligation. HHS awards coded to Wisconsin or the Dakotas do not sit in this total even if the vendor’s mailroom is in Minneapolis.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $487,719,972,359 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 Minnesota over-reads the field.

Award count 5,670 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use the Minnesota–HHS overlay.

What this pair does not prove

A large HHS total in Minnesota does not mean the agency caused Minnesota’s health-sector mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between a health-heavy economy and HHS awards is expected; it is not a finding about quality or waste.

Keep $487,719,972,359 labeled as agency 075 obligations with Minnesota place of performance. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug.

How to cite the Minnesota–HHS pair

A clean footnote names awarding agency 075 (Department of Health and Human Services), Minnesota place of performance, $487,719,972,359 in obligations, and 5,670 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $487,719,972,359 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $86,017,632 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical grant.

Side-by-side charts should hold every state–agency pair to obligations. Department of Health and Human Services in Minnesota, Minnesota federal spending, Department of Health and Human Services, and All spending ties all follow that rule. A later ingest can restate $487,719,972,359 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Twin Cities folklore is not a metro split in this packet; 5,670 awards stay statewide. Medical-device names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Do not rank Minnesota as healthier because HHS dollars are large. Health outcomes are not a field in this packet. A short award list is still a record count, including modifications.

Questions

How much has HHS obligated in Minnesota?

USAspending.gov records $487,719,972,359 in obligations for awarding agency 075 with Minnesota place of performance, covering 5,670 awards. That is an obligation total, not an outlay total, and not HHS’s nationwide budget. Original filings remain on the source sites.

Why are there so few HHS awards in Minnesota relative to the dollars?

The extract lists 5,670 award actions totaling $487,719,972,359. A short row list can still hold a large dollar total if a few awards dominate. Average obligation per award is about $86,017,632, a ratio, not a typical grant size. Unique recipients are not published here.

Does place of performance mean the money stayed in Minnesota?

No. Minnesota is a USAspending geography tag on awards that also carry agency 075. Work, subcontracting, or later modifications can occur elsewhere. $487,719,972,359 is not proof that every dollar was disbursed to Minnesota residents. Original filings remain on the source sites.

Where is the live HHS–Minnesota table?

Department of Health and Human Services in Minnesota is the overlay. Minnesota federal spending shows all agencies in the state. Department of Health and Human Services shows agency 075 without a state filter. All spending ties lists other pairs. Original filings remain on the source sites.
