Three hundred eighty-two billion as a tagged-action total
North Carolina’s $381.66B is the sum of USAspending.gov actions tagged to the state in FY 2024–2026. It is not the state budget and not a single department’s footprint. Place-of-performance rules can pull work performed in North Carolina into the total even when the prime recipient is elsewhere. The reverse also happens.
The North Carolina spending hub is the live table. This overlay does not assign $381.66B to health, defense, or disaster programs, because those splits are not in the packet. Agency pages are the department cut. State comparisons keep the FY clock fixed.
583,283 awards between Ohio and Michigan on count
North Carolina’s 583,283 awards imply an average near $654,000 per action—below Ohio’s dollar class mean wait, Ohio is $398.51B on 524,221, a higher mean around $760,000. North Carolina has more actions against fewer dollars than Ohio, so the implied mean is lower. That comparison uses only packet facts.
Award count is not unique recipients. This packet has no recipient total. Modifications can add rows. Do not convert 583,283 into a vendor headcount.
