Department of Homeland Security federal obligations in Minnesota

What the Homeland Security-Minnesota join is

Awarding agency 070 and place-of-performance state MN meet here. $1,190,253,092.07 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Homeland Security's nationwide budget, not Minnesota's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. Airport, FEMA, and statewide emergency-management folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not packet NAICS and not a census of Minnesota ports of entry.

542 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — hundreds of award actions behind a billion-dollar obligation total. Hundreds of rows can mix disaster instruments with smaller security grants. The join does not rank Minnesota against other states and does not name airports inside the extract.

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

542 DHS actions under one Minnesota filter

Dividing $1,190,253,092.07 by 542 yields about $2,196,038.92 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical FEMA grant. A second DHS slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Minnesota's 070 total as a synonym for every DHS component account.

Airport, fema, and statewide emergency-management folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Agency names and recipient rows live on the overlay table, not in this narrative's extra columns.

Agency 070 without a Minnesota overlay is a different total

The agency-wide Department of Homeland Security page aggregates 070 without requiring MN geography. The Minnesota federal spending page aggregates all agencies with Minnesota place of performance. Only Department of Homeland Security in Minnesota applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 542 awards and $1,190,253,092.07.

Place of performance in Minnesota is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list MN while later work occurs in Wisconsin or North Dakota. DHS awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Minneapolis. This packet does not split Minneapolis from Duluth or the Canadian-border towns.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $1,190,253,092.07 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as money already spent in Minnesota over-reads the field.

Award count 542 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use the Minnesota-DHS overlay. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug.

What this pair does not prove

A large DHS total in Minnesota does not mean the agency caused Minnesota's security mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between airport geography and DHS awards is expected; it is not a finding about readiness or waste.

Keep $1,190,253,092.07 labeled as agency 070 obligations with Minnesota place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. An agency name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending.

How to cite the Minnesota-DHS pair

A clean footnote names awarding agency 070 (Department of Homeland Security), Minnesota place of performance, $1,190,253,092.07 in obligations, and 542 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $1,190,253,092.07 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $2,196,038.92 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical FEMA grant.

Department of Homeland Security in Minnesota, Minnesota federal spending, Department of Homeland Security, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $1,190,253,092.07 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Twin Cities-versus-Duluth folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Airport names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Keep the obligation label in every reuse. Correlation is not causation.
