Department of Justice federal obligations in Oklahoma
Department of Justice shows $604,564,451.37 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Oklahoma, across 1,320 awards. Awarding-agency 015 and Oklahoma (OK) are the pair. 1,320 awards against $604,564,451.37 is a 1,320-award justice file, mid-count against Oklahoma Energy and EPA joins that use other codes. The implied mean is about $458,003.37 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

- The pair is awarding-agency 015 × place-of-performance OK.
- Amounts are obligations, not outlays; no fiscal year is in this packet.
- The implied mean near $458,003.37 is $604,564,451.37 divided by 1320, not a typical award.
- The join does not name contractors and does not measure prosecutions, prison beds, or unique defendants.
Agency 015 overlapping Oklahoma
Department of Justice as awarding agency, Oklahoma as place-of-performance: 1,320 records summing to $604,564,451.37. A Department of Justice award coded outside OK is out. An award in Oklahoma from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Oklahoma (OK) excludes Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, New Mexico, and Colorado. An Oklahoma City-coded award with a Texas place-of-performance tag is a different cell.
1,320 awards against $604,564,451.37 is a 1,320-award justice file, mid-count against Oklahoma Energy and EPA joins that use other codes. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1320 as 1320 unique prosecutions, prison beds, or unique defendants. Department of Justice in Oklahoma is the both-keys table. Oklahoma federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Justice is the agency book without an OK filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
Western, Northern, and Eastern District folklore is unpublished. Do not add this 015 cell to Oklahoma Energy 089 or EPA 068. Unique defendants stay unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Oklahoma did not cause $604,564,451.37 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 015 × OK only.
1,320 rows are not unique prosecutions
$604,564,451.37 does not measure prosecutions, prison beds, or unique defendants. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 015 and an OK place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 1320 awards as a census of prosecutions, prison beds, or unique defendants. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Oklahoma federal spending or Department of Justice matched $604,564,451.37 and 1320, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state DOJ joins are other pairs, not addends.
Oklahoma, not an Oklahoma City-Tulsa map
Place of performance OK is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Oklahoma (OK) excludes Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, New Mexico, and Colorado. An Oklahoma City-coded award with a Texas place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
This packet does not split $604,564,451.37 by city, county, or named facility. 1320 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.
Justice obligations stay commitments
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $604,564,451.37 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Oklahoma confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
Oklahoma’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 1,320 awards 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 $604,564,451.37. Sharing a geography with Department of Justice does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.
Citing DOJ in Oklahoma
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Justice (agency 015) obligated $604,564,451.37 on 1,320 awards coded to Oklahoma. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as prosecutions, prison beds, or unique defendants.
Prefer Department of Justice in Oklahoma if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Oklahoma federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to OK. Department of Justice is the 015 parent without the OK filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $604,564,451.37.
A usable footnote names Department of Justice, Oklahoma, $604,564,451.37, and 1320. The compact headline $604.6M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $458,003.37 is $604,564,451.37 divided by 1320. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
