Department of Homeland Security federal obligations in Maine

Department of Homeland Security dollars tagged to Maine

$744,367,740.97 attaches to awards that list both Department of Homeland Security (agency 070) and Maine geography. Drop either filter and the total changes. Fema, coast guard, and disaster-relief folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. The join does not rank Maine against other states.

1,016 is a record count on the DHS–Maine overlay, not a headcount of grantees. 1,016 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — more than a thousand rows can mix large instruments with smaller service awards. This narrative does not invent contractor names.

Open Department of Homeland Security in Maine for the filtered table, Maine federal spending for the next hub, Department of Homeland Security for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

Why a long award list still hides mixed instruments

The mean obligation of about $732,645.41 is arithmetic only. A long award list can hide one large action among smaller modifications. Readers who need instrument type should use the overlay table, not this narrative. No contractor is named here because none appears in the packet facts.

If a later ingest restates $744,367,740.97, the join definition stays the same: agency 070 plus Maine place of performance. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved.

Two hubs, one intersection

Drop the Maine geography tag and agency 070 still has a national total on Department of Homeland Security. Drop the agency tag and Maine still has a multi-agency total on Maine federal spending. Neither hub equals $744,367,740.97 on its own.

Portland, Bangor, and Augusta are reader landmarks, not packet subtotals. The geography key is statewide Maine. Headquarters folklore about Portland does not move $744,367,740.97.

What USAspending publishes here

$744,367,740.97 records commitments tagged to Department of Homeland Security and Maine. Payments, recoveries, and cancellations would live in other fields. This extract does not publish those fields.

Keep the obligation word in every reuse of $744,367,740.97. Maine federal spending and Department of Homeland Security use the same unit on their own filters. Mixing units across hubs produces a false statewide cash story.

Maine DHS totals are not campaign money

Fema, coast guard, and disaster-relief folklore plus coast-guard and working-waterfront folklore can look like a story. The published facts are only $744,367,740.97, 1,016 awards, agency 070, and Maine. Anything else is outside the extract.

Do not claim that donations paid for $744,367,740.97 in Maine. The source is USAspending.gov award aggregates. FEC tables are out of scope for this join.

Reuse rules for this extract

If you need a one-line caption, use: DHS agency 070 × Maine = $744,367,740.97 across 1,016 awards (obligations, USAspending.gov). That caption already names both join sides and the unit.

All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $744,367,740.97. Department of Homeland Security in Maine remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance Maine is statewide; it does not split Portland from Bangor or Augusta. Neighbor-coded response work in New Hampshire or Massachusetts stays out. Correlation is not causation. Statewide Maine includes Portland, Bangor, and Augusta only as reader landmarks. None of those names is a published subtotal. A county or city extract would be a different USAspending query. Department of Homeland Security in Maine remains the filtered table for this pair. Maine federal spending answers a statewide question that mixes agencies. Department of Homeland Security answers an agency question that mixes states. All spending ties is the catalog of other two-sided pages, not a sum of this cell plus its siblings. Nothing in this packet names a contractor, grantee, laboratory, or borrower. Inventing grantees to explain $744,367,740.97 would break the facts-only rule. If a recipient appears on the overlay, that row is evidence from USAspending.gov, not from this narrative. The source note is unchanged: USAspending.gov aggregate of federal obligations by state and awarding agency. Obligations are not outlays. Repeating $744,367,740.97 as cash already spent in Maine is a unit error, not a rounding error.
