Department of Health and Human Services federal obligations in Texas

USAspending.gov records $206,255,469,609.75 in Department of Health and Human Services obligations under awarding agency 075 with place of performance in Texas, across 11,681 awards. Compared with several smaller-state HHS cells that carry similar dollars on far fewer rows, Texas spreads the same cabinet across more award records, which lowers the mean. That is a shape-of-the-table observation, not a claim that Texas is more efficient. Obligations are commitments, not outlays. Dividing the dollar total by 11,681 awards yields about $17.7 million per award on average.

Key figures

  • HHS agency 075 shows $206,255,469,609.75 in Texas place-of-performance obligations on 11,681 awards.
  • Mean obligation is about $17.7 million per award.
  • A thicker award file lowers the mean versus more concentrated HHS state cells.
  • Texas is a USAspending geography tag, not a metro map.
  • Figures are obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

HHS and Texas as a two-key filter

Awarding agency 075 plus place-of-performance state TX produce this cell. The $206,255,469,609.75 obligation total is the sum on records that carry both keys. The Texas hub totals every awarding agency. The HHS hub totals every state. This tie is the overlap.

Eleven thousand six hundred eighty-one awards is a high row count for HHS in this harvest. More rows under $206.3 billion pull the mean down versus North Dakota or South Carolina cells with fewer instruments. The page does not convert that into a policy ranking.

Texas’s HHS cell is $206,255,469,609.75 on 11,681 awards. The state is large; that observation is not turned into a per-capita claim because population is not in the facts. What the table shows is a thicker award file than several smaller-state HHS cells at similar dollars. Texas HHS is $206,255,469,609.75 on 11,681 awards, a thicker file than several smaller-state HHS cells at similar dollars. Thickness is not a metro unpack. Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, San Antonio, El Paso, and the border are not columns in this aggregate. Inventing those subtotals would be a different table. The $17.7 million mean is dollars divided by 11,681 rows, lower than North Dakota’s HHS mean because Texas has more rows, not because a typical Texas award is “smaller” in any operational sense the facts do not measure. Oklahoma-, New Mexico-, Arkansas-, and Louisiana-tagged awards stay on those ties. Code 075 does not include Defense or SSA. Obligations are not outlays.

Cabinet 075, not every health-related agency

Code 075 is Department of Health and Human Services. Veterans Affairs, Defense, and USDA run separate Texas ties. Folding those codes into 075 would misstate $206,255,469,609.75.

The national HHS hub drops the Texas filter. Packet facts are the obligation sum, 11,681 awards, state TX, and agency 075. No Houston-versus-border split and no fiscal-year series are included.

Border, Gulf, and interior counties share one TX tag. The join does not isolate Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, or the border. Readers looking for metro subtotals will not find them here.

Texas on the place-of-performance field

Texas is USAspending state code TX. Performance in Harris County, a recipient in El Paso, and a record that only stamps TX can all sit inside $206,255,469,609.75. The join does not publish a metro table. Awards coded to Oklahoma, New Mexico, or Louisiana stay on other ties.

Statewide Texas federal spending is the parent. Agency 075 is one awarding agency there. $206.3 billion is not Texas’s complete federal footprint.

Awards tagged to Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas, or Louisiana stay on those ties even when a Texas health system is a partner. Place of performance is the stored field, not a network map.

More rows, a lower mean

Average obligation is about $17.7 million ($206,255,469,609.75 ÷ 11,681). That is lower than several HHS state cells with fewer than 5,000 awards and similar dollars. A lower mean flags a thicker award file, not smaller need, and not a median contract.

Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $206,255,469,609.75 as given. Treat 11,681 as award records in the aggregate.

Eleven thousand six hundred eighty-one records still can include related instruments. The $17.7 million mean is not 11,681 independent grants of that size. It is dollars divided by rows.

What this Texas–HHS pair is not

A shared state tag does not mean Texas selected these awards, and it does not mean HHS outlays equal $206,255,469,609.75 inside the state. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation.

A thick file is not a metro map

Eleven thousand six hundred eighty-one HHS awards in Texas sound like they should unpack into Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and the border. The packet has no metro field. Unpacking would be invention. The $206,255,469,609.75 total is statewide 075 × TX.

Thicker files lower means. Texas’s $17.7 million average is lower than North Dakota’s for that reason, not because Texas “gets less per grant” in any operational sense the facts do not measure. Obligations remain commitments.
