The 15 largest of 56 states and territories. These rows total $6,560,707,723, against an overall $6,561,608,936 for the agency. Effectively all of this agency’s obligations carry a reported place of performance. The two figures come from separate USAspending aggregations and reconcile to within a fraction of a percent, not to the cent. Place of performance is what the recipient reported, not necessarily where work happened.
