Department of Homeland Security federal obligations in FY2024

DHS × FY2024 is a yearly-trend join, not a border-crossing score

Department of Homeland Security as awarding agency 070, fiscal year 2024: the yearly-trend amount is $338,627,487,695.41. The pair is awarding-agency 070 crossed with fiscal year 2024 on USAspending.gov yearlyTrend amounts, not a border-crossing score and not every DHS dollar in every year. Treat the pair as a year intersection, not a ranking, and not a claim that the agency award-count field equals that many components, unique contractors, or named DHS facilities. A Department of Homeland Security amount tagged to a different fiscal year is out of this cell.

Other fiscal-year cells for DHS, if present, are separate yearly-trend joins. Correlation between this obligation sum and mission outcomes is not causation. Those outcomes are not in the packet. Campaign contributions recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell. Department of Homeland Security is the agency parent. FY2024 federal spending is the government-wide FY2024 hub. All agencies lists awarding agencies. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

The FY2024 cell beside the DHS agency book

The agency extract lists 88,694 awards beside a $391.39 billion agency obligation book. That award count is the agency packet field, not a published FY2024-only row count. Do not divide $338,627,487,695.41 by 88,694 and call the quotient a typical FY2024 award. The packet does not publish a FY-only award count. Award count on this extract is the agency field, including possible orders and modifications across the agency book.

Named components and award recipients are unpublished. Do not treat 88,694 as 88,694 unique DHS contractors. The $338,627,487,695.41 total remains an obligation rollup on the FY2024 trend cell. DHS’s full awarding-agency book is $391,393,534,450.98; mixing other years into $338,627,487,695.41 invents a roll-up the yearly-trend packet never computed.

FY2024 DHS dollars are commitments, not outlays

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. The $338,627,487,695.41 headline is the FY2024 obligation sum, not DHS work already paid in FY2024. Citing the figure as cash already sent in FY2024 confuses two USAspending concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. FY figures can be incomplete for the current year.

Named components and award recipients are unpublished. Do not treat 88,694 as 88,694 unique DHS contractors. Unique recipients are unpublished. Keep the obligation label on $338,627,487,695.41. FEC filings and USAspending awards are different datasets.

What the DHS–FY2024 extract omits

The extract has no roster of components, unique contractors, or named DHS facilities. Facts remain $338,627,487,695.41 for FY2024, agency parent $391,393,534,450.98, 88,694 agency awards, and Department of Homeland Security (agency 070). This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling fiscal-year joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score. Other fiscal-year cells for DHS, if present, are separate yearly-trend joins.

Department of Homeland Security places agency 070 among other awarding agencies. FY2024 federal spending is the government-wide FY2024 shelf. All agencies is the agency index. All spending ties indexes other agency × year pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of DHS’s full awarding-agency book the packet never computed. The $338,627,487,695.41 figure is the tagged year only.

Citing Homeland Security in FY2024

A clean footnote names Department of Homeland Security (agency 070), FY2024, $338,627,487,695.41 in obligations, and the agency award-count field 88,694 on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not relabel 88,694 as a FY2024-only project count. Quote Department of Homeland Security if you need the agency without a year filter, and quote FY2024 federal spending if you need every awarding agency in FY2024. Eighty-eight thousand six hundred ninety-four agency awards sit beside the parent book $391,393,534,450.98. Inspect named award lines on USAspending.gov rather than inferring inventories the packet omitted.

Questions

How much did Department of Homeland Security obligate in FY2024?

USAspending.gov shows $338,627,487,695.41 in obligations for awarding agency 070 on the FY2024 yearly-trend cell. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not DHS’s full awarding-agency book. Other fiscal years are outside this join unless they also carry FY2024.

Do 88,694 awards equal 88,694 FY2024 DHS projects?

No. The packet publishes 88,694 as the agency award-count field, not as a FY2024-only project census. It is not a count of components, unique contractors, or named DHS facilities. The packet does not name recipients. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. Keep both sides of the join in the citation.

Is this DHS’s full awarding-agency book?

No. The join is awarding agency 070 crossed with FY2024. The agency parent in this packet is $391,393,534,450.98. Related years are not inside $338,627,487,695.41. Other fiscal-year cells for DHS, if present, are separate yearly-trend joins.

Is the FY2024 DHS total already paid?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $338,627,487,695.41 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. FY figures can be incomplete for the current year. Completed activity is unpublished here.
