National Guard O&M project obligations in Maine

Maine’s 12.401 cell versus West Virginia’s

CFDA 12.401 is titled NATIONAL GUARD MILITARY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE (O&M) PROJECTS. Crossed with Maine place of performance, the obligation sum is $182,607,710.33 on 60 awards. The national 12.401 hub includes other states. Maine’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $182,607,710.33 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of Guard members in Augusta or Bangor.

West Virginia’s 12.401 join also reports 60 awards but a different dollar total; that cell is not added here. National Guard military construction uses a different CFDA number. Mixing construction into $182,607,710.33 would invent a broader Guard total than this cell contains. Packet facts are $182,607,710.33, 60 awards, ME, and 12.401. Correlation is not causation.

Sixty awards under Maine Guard O&M

Sixty awards against $182,607,710.33 yield a simple mean near $3.04 million. The facts do not publish a median, a range, or unique recipients. 60 is a record count in an aggregate, not 60 armories and not 60 counties. A state military department can post multiple instruments across modifications.

Treat the mean as arithmetic, not as a typical facility budget. Unique recipient names are unpublished and are not invented here. Downward modifications, if they exist in the raw file, are already netted into the total supplied in the facts. Do not annualize $182,607,710.33; this packet publishes no year field.

Maine geography on the 12.401 tag

ME is the place-of-performance code. An O&M cooperative agreement can post to Augusta or another in-state address even when work occurs at many sites. Awards coded to New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, or Canada-adjacent geographies stay outside $182,607,710.33 when they carry a different state code.

Maine federal spending is the all-program parent. 12.401 is one row on Maine programs. $182.6 million is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open National Guard Military Operations And Maintenance (O&M) Projects in Maine for the filtered table, CFDA 12.401 for the catalog without a Maine filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $182,607,710.33.

What Guard O&M in Maine does not prove

A large 12.401 total tagged to Maine does not measure readiness, drill attendance, or facility condition. It does not equal invoices paid to vendors. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. The headline remains $182,607,710.33 on 60 awards for National Guard Military Operations And Maintenance (O&M) Projects in Maine.

Keep both sides of the join: National Guard O&M Projects and Maine, obligations only. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a force-structure story. Vendor names are not in the facts.
