Department of Homeland Security federal obligations in Kansas

USAspending.gov records $941,709,268.43 in Department of Homeland Security obligations with Kansas place of performance, covering 266 awards. The pair is awarding agency 070 and state KS. Two hundred sixty-six awards sit behind $941,709,268.43. That row count can mix large instruments with smaller modifications. Average obligation per award is about $3,540,260.41. That ratio is not a typical DHS contract. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

Key figures

  • DHS in Kansas: $941,709,268.43 across 266 USAspending awards.
  • Implied mean about $3,540,260.41 per record — a packet quotient, not a typical project.
  • Agency 070 × KS is not a measure of border stations, unique FEMA disasters, or a census of TSA checkpoints.
  • Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
  • Kansas federal spending and Department of Homeland Security are parents, not amounts to add into $941,709,268.43.

What the DHS–Kansas join is

Department of Homeland Security as awarding agency, Kansas as place-of-performance: 266 records summing to $941,709,268.43. A Department of Homeland Security award coded outside KS is out. An award in Kansas from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Kansas (KS) excludes Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Colorado. A Kansas City, Missouri-coded award is Missouri even if the metro story sounds similar.

Two hundred sixty-six awards sit behind $941,709,268.43. That row count can mix large instruments with smaller modifications. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 266 as 266 unique border stations, unique FEMA disasters, or a census of TSA checkpoints. The overlay Department of Homeland Security in Kansas is the both-keys table. Kansas federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Homeland Security is the agency book without an KS filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Wichita, Topeka, and Kansas City, Kansas share one KS stamp. FEMA, CBP, TSA, and other DHS components can share awarding-agency 070 without a published bureau pie. Correlation is not causation: Kansas did not cause $941,709,268.43 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 070 × KS only.

Not a border-station or disaster census

$941,709,268.43 does not measure border stations, unique FEMA disasters, or a census of TSA checkpoints. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 070 and an KS place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 266 awards as a census of border stations, unique FEMA disasters, or a census of TSA checkpoints. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Kansas federal spending or Department of Homeland Security matched $941,709,268.43 and 266, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighbor-state DHS joins are other pairs, not addends. Dividing $941,709,268.43 by 266 yields about $3,540,260.41 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical DHS line and not a published median.

Kansas, not a bi-state DHS rollup

Place of performance KS is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Kansas (KS) excludes Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Colorado. A Kansas City, Missouri-coded award is Missouri even if the metro story sounds similar. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Wichita, Topeka, and Kansas City, Kansas share one KS stamp. This packet does not split $941,709,268.43 by city, county, or named facility. 266 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

266 DHS actions, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $941,709,268.43 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Kansas confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Kansas's own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 266-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 $941,709,268.43.

What this pair does not prove

A large DHS total in Kansas does not mean the agency caused Kansas's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Keep $941,709,268.43 labeled as agency 070 obligations with Kansas place of performance. Neighbor DHS cells among Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Colorado are separate joins. This page does not rank Kansas as a winner or loser.

Recipient names are unpublished in this packet. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to explain $941,709,268.43. Place-of-performance KS can differ from a vendor mailroom. A Kansas City, Missouri-coded award is Missouri even if the metro story sounds similar. A later ingest can restate $941,709,268.43 and 266 without changing the join definition: awarding agency 070 crossed with Kansas.

How to cite the Kansas–DHS pair

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Homeland Security (agency 070) obligated $941,709,268.43 on 266 awards coded to Kansas. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as border stations, unique FEMA disasters, or a census of TSA checkpoints.

Prefer Department of Homeland Security in Kansas if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Kansas federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to KS. Department of Homeland Security is the 070 parent without the KS filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $941,709,268.43.

A usable footnote names Department of Homeland Security, Kansas, $941,709,268.43, and 266. The implied mean near $3,540,260.41 is $941,709,268.43 divided by 266. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset; they do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation.
