Department of Veterans Affairs in Illinois

VA in Illinois, not the Defense cell

This page is the USAspending cell for awarding agency 036 and Illinois (IL) place of performance. The $16,890,298,452.89 total sums matching obligations. Defense in Illinois uses agency 097 and a much larger award count. Mixing the two without labeling filters would confuse departments. This narrative stays on VA.

Thirty-eight thousand five hundred fifty-four awards is a substantial row count for a VA–state join. The count can include health-care contracts, construction, and other award types. The packet does not classify them. Inferring a single facility from the state tag would add a label the table does not carry.

Illinois’s 38,554 VA records and $16,890,298,452.89 will be confused with Illinois Defense because both are large. Defense is 097 and a different overlay with a different award count. This file is 036 and 38,554 awards. Keep the codes in the citation. Hines or North Chicago names would be imported; they are not in the facts.

Awarding agency 036

Code 036 is the Department of Veterans Affairs in this extract. VHA, VBA, and NCA awarding offices can roll up under that parent. This packet does not split them. The overlay /states/il/agencies/036/ is the table view of the same pair.

A national VA page will show a larger dollar total. Using $16,890,298,452.89 as the entire VA obligation book would drop the Illinois filter. Using 38,554 as a headcount of Illinois veterans would drop the award-record definition.
