Department of Homeland Security federal obligations in Tennessee

DHS awards tagged to Tennessee

Department of Homeland Security as awarding agency, Tennessee as place-of-performance: 676 records summing to $2,156,498,843.81. A Department of Homeland Security award coded outside TN is out. An award in Tennessee from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Tennessee (TN) excludes Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Missouri. A Memphis, Arkansas-coded award is AR. FEMA, CBP, Coast Guard, TSA, and other DHS components are unpublished splits inside awarding agency 070.

Six hundred seventy-six awards against $2,156,498,843.81 is a thinner DHS file, close in row count to the Kentucky DHS cell in this slice and still a record count rather than unique facilities. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 676 as 676 unique FEMA declarations, unique contractors, or named installations. The overlay Department of Homeland Security in Tennessee is the both-keys table. Tennessee federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Homeland Security is the agency book without a TN filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, and Chattanooga share one TN stamp. $2,156,498,843.81 stays statewide. Correlation is not causation: Tennessee did not “cause” $2,156,498,843.81 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 070 × TN only.

Not a FEMA declaration or Guard roster

$2,156,498,843.81 does not measure FEMA declarations, unique contractors, or named installations. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 070 and a TN place-of-performance tag. FEMA, CBP, Coast Guard, TSA, and other DHS components are unpublished splits inside awarding agency 070.

Do not treat 676 awards as a census of FEMA declarations, unique contractors, or named installations. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Tennessee federal spending or Department of Homeland Security matched $2,156,498,843.81 and 676, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Kentucky, Alabama, and Georgia DHS joins are other pairs, not addends.

Tennessee statewide, not Nashville versus Memphis

Place of performance TN is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Tennessee (TN) excludes Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Missouri. A Memphis, Arkansas-coded award is AR. Recipient address can differ from that state tag. Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga, and the rest of the counties share one TN stamp.

Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, and Chattanooga share one TN stamp. $2,156,498,843.81 stays statewide. This packet does not split $2,156,498,843.81 by city, county, or named facility. 676 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. $2,156,498,843.81 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Tennessee confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Tennessee’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 676-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 $2,156,498,843.81.

Citing DHS in Tennessee

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Homeland Security (agency 070) obligated $2,156,498,843.81 on 676 awards coded to Tennessee. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as FEMA declarations, unique contractors, or named installations.

Prefer Department of Homeland Security in Tennessee if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Tennessee federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to TN. Department of Homeland Security is the 070 parent without the TN filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,156,498,843.81. A usable footnote names Department of Homeland Security, Tennessee, $2,156,498,843.81, and 676. The compact headline $2.16 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $3.19 million is $2,156,498,843.81 divided by 676. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
