Department of Homeland Security federal obligations in Hawaii
The Department of Homeland Security shows $2,214,923,299.02 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Hawaii, across 1,726 awards. The pair is Homeland Security plus Hawaii, not an island-defense ledger. Awarding-agency 070 and Hawaii (HI) are the pair. One thousand seven hundred twenty-six awards is a mid-count DHS file: thicker than a thin Labor cell, still a record count rather than unique facilities. The implied mean is about $1.28 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.
Key figures
- DHS in Hawaii: $2,214,923,299.02 across 1,726 USAspending awards.
- Implied mean about $1.28 million per record — a packet quotient, not a typical project.
- Agency 070 × HI is not a measure of Coast Guard billets, FEMA declarations, or unique contractors.
- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
- Honolulu, Hilo, Kahului, and the rest of the counties share one HI place-of-performance tag.
DHS awards tagged to Hawaii
Department of Homeland Security as awarding agency, Hawaii as place-of-performance: 1,726 records summing to $2,214,923,299.02. A Department of Homeland Security award coded outside HI is out. An award in Hawaii from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Hawaii (HI) is the place-of-performance key. Awards coded to California, Guam, or other Pacific tags are other cells even when a Honolulu story is the same. FEMA, CBP, Coast Guard, TSA, and other DHS components are unpublished splits inside awarding agency 070.
One thousand seven hundred twenty-six awards is a mid-count DHS file: thicker than a thin Labor cell, still a record count rather than unique facilities. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,726 as 1,726 unique Coast Guard billets, FEMA declarations, or unique contractors. The overlay Department of Homeland Security in Hawaii is the both-keys table. Hawaii federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Homeland Security is the agency book without an HI filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
Honolulu, Hilo, and the neighbor islands share one HI stamp. Pearl Harbor folklore is not a published share of $2,214,923,299.02. Correlation is not causation: Hawaii did not “cause” $2,214,923,299.02 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 070 × HI only.
Not a Coast Guard roster or FEMA event list
$2,214,923,299.02 does not measure Coast Guard billets, FEMA declarations, or unique contractors. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 070 and an HI place-of-performance tag. FEMA, CBP, Coast Guard, TSA, and other DHS components are unpublished splits inside awarding agency 070.
Do not treat 1,726 awards as a census of Coast Guard billets, FEMA declarations, or unique contractors. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Hawaii federal spending or Department of Homeland Security matched $2,214,923,299.02 and 1,726, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. California and other Pacific DHS joins are other pairs, not addends.
Hawaii statewide, not an Oahu-only map
Place of performance HI is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Hawaii (HI) is the place-of-performance key. Awards coded to California, Guam, or other Pacific tags are other cells even when a Honolulu story is the same. Recipient address can differ from that state tag. Honolulu, Hilo, Kahului, and the rest of the counties share one HI stamp.
Honolulu, Hilo, and the neighbor islands share one HI stamp. Pearl Harbor folklore is not a published share of $2,214,923,299.02. This packet does not split $2,214,923,299.02 by city, county, or named facility. 1,726 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.
Award stock versus invoices already paid
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $2,214,923,299.02 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Hawaii confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
Hawaii’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 1,726-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $2,214,923,299.02.
Citing DHS in Hawaii
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Homeland Security (agency 070) obligated $2,214,923,299.02 on 1,726 awards coded to Hawaii. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as Coast Guard billets, FEMA declarations, or unique contractors.
Prefer Department of Homeland Security in Hawaii if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Hawaii federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to HI. Department of Homeland Security is the 070 parent without the HI filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,214,923,299.02. A usable footnote names Department of Homeland Security, Hawaii, $2,214,923,299.02, and 1,726. The compact headline $2.21 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $1.28 million is $2,214,923,299.02 divided by 1,726. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
Questions
