USAspending in Virginia District 04, FY2024

The $13.1 billion FY2024 obligation file

$13.1 billion is the obligation total USAspending.gov attaches to Virginia District 04 for fiscal year 2024. The figure is a sum of award commitments, not cash already paid and not Virginia’s state budget. This page does not translate $13.1 billion into outlays. VA-04’s $13.1 billion is the FY2024 obligation file for that mapped seat. It is not a 90 unspecified bin and not a 98 non-voting bin. 10,246 awards are the matching count.

The packet’s year window is FY2024 only. First year and last year are both 2024. Federal fiscal years start October 1. USAspending.gov can still correct records, which would move $13.1 billion and the 10,246-award count. There is no FY2025 figure in this packet to add to $13.1 billion. Cite the year as federal FY2024 when the 10,246-award count is reused. Do not treat $13.1 billion as a calendar-year 2024 total.

VA-04 place of performance versus headquarters

Congressional district here is the USAspending place-of-performance field. A performance site coded to the 4th district can appear even when the recipient’s headquarters sits in another Virginia district or another state. A firm with a VA-04 mailing address can also post dollars elsewhere if performance is coded there. A recipient based outside the 4th district can still appear among the 10,246 rows if place of performance is VA-04. Headquarters is the wrong join key.

District 04 is a numbered House seat. Virginia rows that never received a voting-district number sit in district 90 (unspecified) or 98 (non-voting). Those buckets are not this VA-04 table. Do not merge this page with other Virginia mapped seats. Unspecified Virginia performance uses district 90, not this $13.1 billion mapped hub. Keep 10,246 awards on the 4th district’s performance code.

10,246 awards in the District 04 extract

10,246 is a mid-size FY2024 record count for VA-04 place of performance beside $13.1 billion. Modifications and assistance actions can each add a line. The packet does not publish unique recipients or an awarding-agency mix. 10,246 is a row count, not a census of Virginia firms. Do not compute a typical award from $13.1 billion and 10,246 rows. That quotient is not a packet fact. Use the Virginia District 04 hub to read individual records. Keep $13.1 billion as the FY2024 obligation roll-up for VA-04.

10,246 remains a record count. Modifications can add rows without turning the extract into a unique-firm list. The Virginia District 04 hub is the table. $13.1 billion stays the FY2024 obligation roll-up for VA-04. If another briefing quotes a different Virginia district, that is a different hub with its own packet — not a correction to 10,246 or $13.1 billion.

Obligations, not Treasury outlays

The $13.1 billion total is the obligation series. Outlays measure disbursements and can land in a later fiscal year. Mixing series makes VA-04 look inconsistent when the files are simply counting different events. SpendingVault does not recast this district as cash paid. A FY2024 obligation can fund later invoices; a later modification can change net amounts without turning this page into a cash register.

Recipient-location maps, calendar-year totals, and state budget documents are other products. Match geography, year, and series before treating a disagreement with $13.1 billion as an error. Cite VA-04 as FY2024 USAspending.gov place-of-performance obligations of $13.1 billion on 10,246 awards. Do not mix that total into an outlay sheet or a headquarters extract.

Virginia statewide and the district index

Virginia’s state hub is the statewide obligation view. VA-04 is one mapped place-of-performance district inside that state. Statewide Virginia is not equal to District 04. Other Virginia mapped seats have their own hubs; this packet does not quote those other figures. Stay on VA-04 for the 4th district file.

The all-districts index lists other Virginia seats and unspecified buckets in the same format. Compare VA-04 only on FY2024 obligations. This packet does not rank the 4th district. Numbered seats and 90/98 leftovers are listed side by side in that index; they are not interchangeable geographies.

Keeping Virginia District 04 on one series

The $13.1 billion FY2024 obligation total for VA-04 is an indexed USAspending.gov statistic. SpendingVault does not convert 10,246 awards into unique firms or cash paid, and it does not merge District 04 with a 90 leftover page. A complete citation names the 4th district, FY2024, USAspending.gov, place of performance, obligations, $13.1 billion, and 10,246 awards.

Align comparisons to place of performance, federal FY2024, and obligations before placing $13.1 billion next to another Virginia column. The Virginia state hub and the all-districts index use the same rules. VA-04’s $13.1 billion and 10,246 awards stay on this page. Do not recode this extract as outlays, and do not treat district 04 as an unspecified bucket.

Questions

How much federal spending is in Virginia’s 4th district?

USAspending.gov shows $13.1 billion in FY2024 obligations with place of performance in Virginia District 04. That is not an outlay total and not Virginia’s state budget. The same extract counts 10,246 awards for VA-04. First year and last year are both 2024. Cite the figure as place-of-performance obligations, not headquarters spending.

Does VA-04 spending mean the contractor is based there?

No. The district is USAspending place of performance, not recipient headquarters. Work coded to Virginia’s 4th district can belong to a recipient based in another district or another state. A VA-04 mailing address does not force every dollar onto this hub. Only the performance tag puts an award among the 10,246 records.

Are Virginia District 04’s $13.1 billion outlays?

No. $13.1 billion is an obligation sum from FY2024 award records. Outlays are cash leaving the Treasury. SpendingVault does not convert VA-04 obligations into outlays. Keep the obligation label and the FY2024 window when the figure is reused. The matching award count is 10,246.

How many awards are tagged to Virginia District 04?

10,246 awards appear for VA-04 place of performance in FY2024. That figure is a record count, including modifications, not a unique-recipient census. This packet does not divide $13.1 billion by 10,246 to invent an average. Use the Virginia District 04 hub to inspect individual lines.
