Why this number?

Location is where the work is performed, not where the recipient is based.
Medicare payments are published as aggregate records placed where Medicare's claims contractors are (mostly Minnesota, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, North Dakota, Connecticut, Florida and South Carolina), not where patients live, so those states show far more HHS money than their population suggests (ask for Medicare payments by patients' home state for where beneficiaries live).
'(outside the US)' is work performed abroad; '(not reported)' has no location in the source.

Business type	Obligations
Small business	$43.7K
Woman-owned	$43.7K

Why this number?

Amounts are obligations (money committed), not outlays (money paid).
Business types are the vendor's status as certified for each contract action (small or other than small, woman-owned, veteran-owned, 8(a), HUBZone...). They overlap (a firm can be small, woman-owned and 8(a) at once), so they don't add up to the total. This is who got the money, not whether the contract was set aside.
Contracts only (industry, product, set-aside and business-type details exist only for contracts).

Why this number?

Subawards: subcontracts and subgrants prime recipients reported (SAM.gov / FSRS via USAspending), by the subaward's action date. They're part of the primes' obligations, never extra money; reporting is required only above $30,000 and is often late or incomplete. Company = the prime; subrecipient = who got the subaward (its parent company when reported). State is where the work is done when reported, else where the subrecipient is based. FY2025 is loaded.
