Department of Justice federal obligations in Wisconsin

What the DOJ–Wisconsin join is

Awarding agency 015 and place-of-performance state WI meet here. $698,888,220.28 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Justice's nationwide budget, not Wisconsin's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. U.s. attorney, prison, and byrne-grant folklore and lakeshore and state-capital folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not packet NAICS and not a census of courthouses.

2,708 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a very long award list beside a large obligation total. A long row list can mix small support payments with larger instruments. The join does not rank Wisconsin against other states and does not name grantees inside the extract.

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

2,708 DOJ actions under one Wisconsin filter

Dividing $698,888,220.28 by 2,708 yields about $258,082.80 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical justice-assistance award. A second DOJ slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Wisconsin's 015 total as a synonym for every Department of Justice bureau account.

U.s. attorney, prison, and byrne-grant 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 015 without a Wisconsin overlay is a different total

The agency-wide Department of Justice page aggregates 015 without requiring WI geography. The Wisconsin federal spending page aggregates all agencies with Wisconsin place of performance. Only Department of Justice in Wisconsin applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 2,708 awards and $698,888,220.28.

Place of performance in Wisconsin is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list WI while later grant administration occurs in Illinois or Minnesota. DOJ awards coded to those places do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Milwaukee. This packet does not split Milwaukee from Madison or Green Bay.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $698,888,220.28 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 Wisconsin over-reads the field.

Award count 2,708 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use the Wisconsin–DOJ overlay. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug.

What this pair does not prove

A large DOJ total in Wisconsin does not mean the agency caused Wisconsin's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between lakeshore and state-capital folklore and DOJ awards is expected; it is not a finding about waste or program quality.

Keep $698,888,220.28 labeled as agency 015 obligations with Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin–DOJ pair

A clean footnote names awarding agency 015 (Department of Justice), Wisconsin place of performance, $698,888,220.28 in obligations, and 2,708 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $698,888,220.28 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $258,082.80 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical justice-assistance award.

Department of Justice in Wisconsin, Wisconsin federal spending, Department of Justice, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $698,888,220.28 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Milwaukee-versus-Madison folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Grantees 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.
