Department of Health and Human Services federal obligations in Rhode Island
USAspending.gov records $18,635,263,912.54 in Department of Health and Human Services obligations under awarding agency 075 with place of performance in Rhode Island, across 2,259 awards. For a small-geography state tag, the dollar total is still in the same order of magnitude as several larger-state HHS cells; the join is still just two filters. It does not say Providence issued these awards or that every hospital in the state is in the file. Obligations are not outlays. Average obligation is about $8.25 million ($18,635,263,912.54 ÷ 2,259).

HHS and Rhode Island in one cell
This tie reports the USAspending intersection of awarding agency 075 and Rhode Island (RI) place of performance. The $18,635,263,912.54 figure sums matching obligations. Rhode Island’s all-agency hub is larger in scope; the HHS national hub is larger in the other direction. Quoting this page as either parent would drop a filter.
Two thousand two hundred fifty-nine awards against $18.64 billion is a relatively sparse row count for the dollars involved. That shape often appears when large assistance awards dominate, but the packet does not list CFDA numbers. The join also does not measure Rhode Island’s health outcomes or uninsured rate, and it does not rank the state as more dependent on federal health dollars than neighbors.
Rhode Island’s 2,259 HHS records and $18,635,263,912.54 need only a short extra caution: do not divide by land area. Land area is not in the facts. The lawful ratio here is $18,635,263,912.54 to 2,259 awards. That is about $8.25 million per award, a concentration statistic, not a map of Providence clinics.
Department of Health and Human Services as 075
Agency code 075 is the HHS parent in this extract. Sub-agencies can sit underneath it in the source. This packet supplies one dollar total and one award count for the parent-plus-Rhode Island slice. The overlay /states/ri/agencies/075/ is the same pair in table form.
A national HHS page will show other states. $18,635,263,912.54 is Rhode Island’s tagged share in the aggregate, not the department’s full obligation book. 2,259 is not the number of HHS employees in Rhode Island.
Rhode Island as place of performance
Rhode Island is state code RI. Place of performance can mean work in-state, a recipient address, or a reporting convention. Awards coded to Massachusetts, Connecticut, or other states stay outside this $18,635,263,912.54 total even when patients or vendors cross those lines. The join cannot reconstruct those crossings. A small land area does not make the USAspending tag any less of a binary state filter.
Statewide Rhode Island federal spending is the parent geography. SSA, Defense, and other awarding agencies are separate columns. This page keeps 075 and RI only.
The $8.25 million average
Mean obligation of about $8.25 million ($18,635,263,912.54 ÷ 2,259) is a concentration statistic. A few very large awards can pull the mean far from the median. This page has no median and no top-award list. 2,259 is an award-record count, not 2,259 clinics.
Net totals can include de-obligations. Readers should not treat the average as a typical invoice to a Rhode Island provider.
What the pair does not claim
Rhode Island place-of-performance tagging does not mean FEC receipts from Rhode Island funded these awards. Obligations are not outlays. The page does not rank Rhode Island as healthier or sicker than other states. It reports one USAspending join.

How to read the Rhode Island–HHS numbers
Rhode Island HHS ($18,635,263,912.54, 2,259 awards) shows that a small-land-area tag can still carry an assistance-scale total. Land area is not in the packet and should not be used as a per-square-mile denominator. The documented ratio is dollars to 2,259 awards, about $8.25 million each on average. Two thousand two hundred fifty-nine rows collapse every HHS operating division that used 075 and RI. Medicaid-branded programs, if present, are not isolated. Use a CFDA-state page for a listing-level question.
Massachusetts and Connecticut are the land borders; the Bay is not a state code. Providence and the rest of the state share RI. Awards tagged MA or CT are absent from $18,635,263,912.54 even when a patient drives twenty minutes.
