The Department of Veterans Affairs has $740,987,229,377.11 in USAspending.gov obligations through fiscal year 2026. Those commitments sit on 1,237,615 awards tagged to awarding-agency CGAC 036. The dollar total is below the multi-trillion cabinet departments and well above most independent agencies. This page reports that award-file rollup; it does not list individual veterans or score wait times. The source row stores 740987229377.11, whose billion-scale compact is 741.0.
Key figures
- VA (CGAC 036) shows $740,987,229,377.11 in USAspending obligations through FY 2026.
- Award volume is 1,237,615 records, a mid-to-high count among cabinet agencies.
- The total is an award-file obligation sum, not a veteran headcount.
- State breakouts follow place-of-performance codes on those awards.
$741 billion across 1.24 million VA awards
The precise obligation total is $740,987,229,377.11. Spread over 1,237,615 awards, the implied mean is about $599,000 per award. That average mixes hospital-system contracts, community-care actions, construction, and smaller purchases. It is not a typical disability-compensation payment. USAspending stores award actions; compensation rolls live in other VA systems that this packet does not include.
Fiscal year 2026 is the latest year. The $740,987,229,377.11 sum is the indexed obligation book through that cap, not a one-year medical-care appropriation.
That mix is the research takeaway from the two packet facts together. 1,237,615 records mix hospital-system contracts, community care, construction, and smaller purchases. A later extract can change both the dollar total and the award count as health-system modifications continue to post inside the FY 2026 cap.
CGAC 036 as the awarding-agency key
SpendingVault’s VA hub is /agencies/036/, keyed to CGAC 036. Sub-offices may appear on individual USAspending rows, but this guide does not split $740,987,229,377.11 by administration. The 1,237,615 award count is a record count for that awarding-agency tag. A veteran receiving care is not an “award” in this table unless a corresponding award record exists in the file.

Questions
- How much has the VA obligated on USAspending through FY 2026?
- The Department of Veterans Affairs total in this extract is $740,987,229,377.11 across 1,237,615 awards tagged to CGAC 036. That sum is an obligation figure from USAspending.gov, not a count of benefit checks and not a single-year medical-care appropriation.
- What does awarding-agency code 036 mean?
- CGAC 036 is the USAspending awarding-agency identifier for the Department of Veterans Affairs. SpendingVault’s VA page is keyed to that code. The $740,987,229,377.11 obligation total and 1,237,615 award count roll up rows carrying 036 through FY 2026.
- Does the VA award count equal the number of veterans served?
- No. The 1,237,615 figure counts award records—contracts, grants, and other actions—not unique veterans. Dollar volume on those records is $740,987,229,377.11. Beneficiary statistics are published elsewhere and are not in this packet.
- How do I see VA federal spending by state?
- Open the state table from the CGAC 036 agency hub. It uses place-of-performance fields on the same USAspending obligation extract that sums to $740,987,229,377.11 through FY 2026. Geographic coding can differ from where veterans live.
Agency codes are USAspending awarding-agency CGAC identifiers. Totals are obligations, FY range on packet.
