HHS federal obligations in Pennsylvania (agency 075)

What the HHS–Pennsylvania join is

Agency code 075 and place-of-performance state PA meet on this page. $458,998,678,835 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not HHS’s national total, not Pennsylvania’s entire federal inflow, and not an outlay clock. It is a filter on USAspending.gov.

12,195 award actions sit behind that dollar figure. Modifications add rows. Unique vendors are not published here. The join does not rank Pennsylvania against other states and does not split Philadelphia from Pittsburgh.

Open Department of Health and Human Services in Pennsylvania for the filtered table, Pennsylvania federal spending for all agencies, Department of Health and Human Services for agency 075 nationwide, and All spending ties for other pairs.

Agency 075 as the awarding side

USAspending labels awarding agency 075 as Department of Health and Human Services. That code produced $458,998,678,835 when crossed with Pennsylvania place of performance. Medicare, Medicaid, and NIH folklore are reasons a reader opens this join; they are not packet program codes.

The agency-wide 075 page does not require PA geography. The Pennsylvania hub does not require HHS. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 12,195 awards.

Place of performance in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Pennsylvania residents. Awards can list PA while later work occurs in New Jersey, Ohio, or elsewhere. HHS awards coded to those states do not sit in $458,998,678,835 even if the vendor’s mailroom is in Philadelphia.

Hospital-system concentration in Pennsylvania is a coding fact, not a finding about coverage quality. The Pennsylvania federal spending hub shows how agency 075 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. $458,998,678,835 is that kind of sum. Outlays can lag or never fully match if an award is de-obligated. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing the figure as cash already spent in Pennsylvania over-reads the field.

Award count 12,195 is a record count, not a payment count. Mean dollars per action are about $37,638,268. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use the Pennsylvania–HHS overlay.

What this pair does not prove

A large HHS total in Pennsylvania does not mean the agency caused Pennsylvania’s hospital mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation is not causation.

Keep $458,998,678,835 labeled as agency 075 obligations with Pennsylvania place of performance. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug.

How to cite the Pennsylvania–HHS pair

A clean footnote names awarding agency 075 (Department of Health and Human Services), Pennsylvania place of performance, $458,998,678,835 in obligations, and 12,195 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $458,998,678,835 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action are about $37,638,268 if you divide those two facts.

Department of Health and Human Services in Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania federal spending, Department of Health and Human Services, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $458,998,678,835 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Philadelphia-versus-Pittsburgh folklore is not a metro split in this packet; 12,195 awards stay statewide. Hospital names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Do not rank Pennsylvania as healthier because HHS dollars are large. Health outcomes are not a field in this packet. Independent health-system talking points remain outside both filters unless they appear as recipient rows. A later USAspending ingest can restate the dollar total without changing the join key of agency 075 and PA. Keep the obligation label in every reuse. Correlation between a large health sector and HHS awards is expected; it is not a finding about quality.
