Nebraska vs Texas

Computer services on a $1.2B Plains stock

Nebraska’s lead NAICS is other computer related services. That services peak sits on $1.2B against Texas’s $72.7B pharmaceutical-preparation peak. A computer-services mix is a different federal buying pattern than a drug-manufacturing mix. The packet names the peaks; it does not give dollar shares.

Nebraska files 36,000 awards. Texas files 530,634. The Plains tape is modest in rows and small in dollars. Use the Nebraska and Texas state hubs for agencies and recipients. Cite USAspending.gov.

Nebraska’s $1.2B computer-services stock on 2,005,465 residents is a Plains professional-services file; Texas’s $72.7B pharmaceutical-preparation stock on 31,290,831 residents is a manufacturing-scale file. FY2026 of $352.3M versus $21.5B does not reorder that ranking.

FY2026 does more work on the Nebraska side

Fiscal year 2026 obligations are $352.3M in Nebraska and $21.5B in Texas. Nebraska’s latest-year amount is a heavy cut of $1.2B. Recency is a larger share of Nebraska’s stacked stock than Texas’s $21.5B is of $72.7B. Texas still leads the latest year by a wide dollar margin.

Treat FY2026 as a recency slice of obligations, not Treasury cash. Do not divide $352.3M or $21.5B by 36,000 or 530,634 all-years awards. Spending per capita of $175.68 and $686.1 already uses Census counts of 2,005,465 and 31,290,831.
