Department of Homeland Security obligations in Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05)

DHS is a modest slice of the MA-05 district book

Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05) has a large all-agency obligation book. DHS agency 070 is a modest share of that book. University, lab, or suburb names are not in the packet and will not be imported as causes. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $3,829,943,823.57 on 220 awards for awarding agency 070 with Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05) as place of performance. Treat the pair as a table intersection, not a ranking of districts as winners or losers, and not a claim that 220 awards equal 220 DHS components. A Department of Homeland Security amount tagged to a different district is out of this cell.

DOJ, Defense, or HHS awards that mention preparedness in a description sit outside $3,829,943,823.57 unless those awards also carry agency 070 and MA-05 geography. Mixing those lines would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and border crossings or disaster counts is not causation. Those series are not in the packet. Place of performance as MA-05 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $3,829,943,823.57 in a district treasury. Other Massachusetts districts are excluded. This page is MA-05 geography only.

220 Homeland Security awards in Massachusetts 5th District

Two hundred twenty DHS awards is a thicker DHS file than MS-04, TX-25, or NC-02. Thicker grain is still not 220 components. Mean obligation is about $17,408,835.56 if $3,829,943,823.57 were divided evenly across 220 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a published typical award. Award count is a row count of USAspending awards, including possible modifications. The extract does not split DHS components inside agency 070. Unique recipients are unpublished.

This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open Massachusetts 5th District for the stored district table and Department of Homeland Security for the national agency shelf. Do not convert 220 into a map of components, ports, or disaster declarations inside Massachusetts 5th District. The $3,829,943,823.57 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on USAspending.gov rather than inferring an inventory.

MA-05 DHS obligations are not completed missions

DHS obligations are commitments, not missions already flown. DHS awards often obligate as grants or contracts are recorded and draw as work or assistance is billed. The $3,829,943,823.57 headline is the obligation sum on this district-agency join, not disaster payments already issued or facilities already built. Citing the figure as cash already sent confuses two USAspending concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. No fiscal year is attached to this packet; do not annualize $3,829,943,823.57 into a yearly run rate.

Keep the obligation word on $3,829,943,823.57. Keep both Department of Homeland Security and Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05) in the citation. Campaign contributions recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell. Different datasets can share a state abbreviation without sharing a money trail.

What the Massachusetts 5th District DHS table omits

The extract has no roster of components, ports, or disaster declarations. Facts remain $3,829,943,823.57, 220 awards, agency 070 (Department of Homeland Security), Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05), and a district-wide book of $35,808,517,228.83. This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling district-agency joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score.

Massachusetts 5th District places MA-05 among other congressional districts. Department of Homeland Security places agency 070 among other awarding agencies. Massachusetts federal spending is the statewide shelf. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Massachusetts spending or of Department of Homeland Security's national book the packet never computed. The $3,829,943,823.57 figure is the tagged pair only. Other Massachusetts districts are excluded. This page is MA-05 geography only.

Citing Department of Homeland Security in MA-05

A clean footnote names Department of Homeland Security (agency 070), Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05), $3,829,943,823.57 in obligations, and 220 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not relabel 220 as a census of components, ports, or disaster declarations. Quote the district overlay if you need every awarding agency in MA-05, and quote the agency page if you need Department of Homeland Security without a district filter. About 10.7% of the $35,808,517,228.83 district book sits on this agency in the extract; that percentage is a derived ratio, not a separate published table.

A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is awarding agency 070. The other is congressional district place of performance as MA-05. The headline $3,829,943,823.57 is the obligation sum on that intersection. It is not a forecast, not a budget request, and not an outlay. It is also not a claim that Department of Homeland Security caused Massachusetts 5th District's economy to grow, or that the district caused the awards to exist. If a later ingest moves the live overlay, prefer the overlay when the table and this snapshot diverge.
