Sixty awards under West Virginia Guard O&M

Sixty awards against $216,613,723.91 yield a simple mean near $3.61 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 The facts do not publish a median, a range, or unique recipients. 60 is a record count in an aggregate, not 60 armories and not 60 counties.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. Without a transaction register on this page, you cannot see whether a row is a continuation, renewal, or correction. Unique recipient names are unpublished and are not invented here.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.

West Virginia geography on the 12.401 tag

WV is the place-of-performance code. An O&M cooperative agreement can post to Charleston or another in-state address even when work occurs at many sites. Awards coded to Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, or Kentucky stay outside $216,613,723.91 even when a unit trains across a border.

West Virginia federal spending is the all-program parent. 12.401 is one row on West Virginia programs. $216.6 million is not the state’s complete federal footprint.

Do not add those parents into $216,613,723.91.
