Virginia’s indexed federal obligation total

Virginia’s $840.80B obligation sum

The $840.80B Virginia total is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov award files for FY2024–2026. An obligation is a commitment recorded on an award. It is not an outlay and not a line in the Commonwealth’s own budget. SpendingVault does not translate $840.80B into cash already paid.

Keep the two-decimal form. Rounding Virginia to a slogan would leave the indexed file. The companion statistic is 1,181,515 awards in the same FY2024–2026 extract. Both numbers come from USAspending.gov as indexed on this site.

1,181,515 awards in the Virginia extract

1,181,515 awards is a record count. Modifications, continuations, and assistance actions in the source all add rows. The count is not a roster of unique Virginia recipients, and this packet does not publish one. Dollar volume and row volume can move independently.

The Virginia spending hub shows both $840.80B and 1,181,515 awards so readers do not infer one from the other. A busy file of small actions can raise the count while the obligation sum stays relatively still, and a few large commitments can do the reverse.

The three-year file for Virginia

Virginia’s figures on this page cover federal fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The $840.80B is a window total. It is not a FY2026 run-rate and not a calendar-year stack. Federal fiscal years begin on October 1.

USAspending.gov still accepts corrections. Reloading the Virginia hub can change $840.80B and 1,181,515 awards without changing the meaning of an obligation. Cite the current index and the FY2024–2026 label.

Virginia’s $840.80B and 1,181,515 awards share one bound: federal fiscal years 2024 through 2026. The dollar figure is a window total, not a single-year Commonwealth run-rate. A federal fiscal year starts on October 1. USAspending.gov can still post FY2026 actions, so both statistics may move on refresh without changing what an obligation means.

Virginia’s 1,181,515 awards include modifications and assistance actions present in USAspending.gov. They are not a headcount of unique recipients. The $840.80B obligation sum is the dollar column on the same FY2024–2026 extract. Keep both visible on the Virginia spending hub rather than collapsing them into one activity score.

Boundaries of the Virginia hub

The Virginia hub is not a map of every federal dollar in the Commonwealth. It is an award-obligation index. Programs that never appear as USAspending.gov awards sit outside $840.80B by definition. Payroll-only series and some transfers are common examples of other books.

If a figure you expected is absent, ask whether you wanted outlays or a different year before treating the 1,181,515 rows as incomplete in their own series. This packet does not specify recipient location versus place of performance beyond the tagged Virginia extract.

An obligation is a commitment on an award. An outlay is cash leaving the Treasury. Virginia’s $840.80B is the first series. SpendingVault does not convert it. Richmond’s state budget is a third series. Mixing any of those books with the 1,181,515-award extract produces a chart this page does not support.

If a Virginia federal-spending chart uses a different magnitude than $840.80B, check whether it used outlays or another year before overwriting this roll-up. SpendingVault’s related tables stay on obligations. This packet does not convert the $840.80B into Treasury cash or into the Commonwealth budget.

Related Virginia tables

Agency pages, state comparisons, and per-capita rankings sit off the Virginia spending hub. They keep the obligation definition. None of them convert $840.80B into Treasury outlays or into Virginia’s state budget.

Use those links when statewide $840.80B and 1,181,515 awards are too aggregated. This packet has no agency mix to quote. The source remains USAspending.gov award files for FY2024–2026.

When statewide Virginia is too coarse, use the Virginia spending hub’s links to agencies, state comparisons, and per-capita rankings. Those pages keep the obligation unit. This packet has no agency mix to quote against $840.80B or 1,181,515 awards.

Citing Virginia’s USAspending numbers

Cite Virginia as $840.80B in federal obligations for FY2024–2026 from USAspending.gov award files indexed on SpendingVault, with 1,181,515 awards. Keep the word obligations. Do not describe $840.80B as cash outlays or as a single fiscal year.

Comparisons should hold every state to obligations and to FY2024–2026. The Virginia spending hub, agency index, comparison tool, and per-capita rankings all use that rule.

A complete Virginia citation names $840.80B in federal obligations, FY2024–2026, USAspending.gov, SpendingVault’s index, and 1,181,515 awards. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $840.80B Treasury outlays or a FY2026-only total.
