USAspending.gov records $20,089,394,064.37 in Department of Veterans Affairs obligations under awarding agency 036 with place of performance in Maryland, across 13,471 awards. The join names Veterans Affairs and Maryland: one awarding-agency code and one state tag. It does not identify a medical center, a cemetery, or a benefits office, and it does not say Annapolis funded these awards. Obligations are not outlays. Average obligation is about $1.49 million ($20,089,394,064.37 ÷ 13,471).

VA awards tagged to Maryland
This page is the USAspending cell for awarding agency 036 and Maryland (MD) place of performance. The $20,089,394,064.37 total sums matching obligations. Maryland’s all-agency hub includes Defense, HHS, and other departments; those are other columns. The national VA hub includes every state. This join is only 036 plus MD.
Thirteen thousand four hundred seventy-one awards is a substantial row count — thicker than sparse assistance books, thinner than some Defense cells with hundreds of thousands of rows. The count can include health-care contracts, construction, and other award types. The packet does not classify them. Inferring a single Baltimore or Bethesda facility from the state tag would add a label the table does not carry.
Maryland’s 13,471 VA records and $20,089,394,064.37 sit where DC, Virginia, and Maryland tags are routinely collapsed in National Capital Region talk. Collapse them in a citation and the number becomes wrong. This cell is MD and 036. A Walter Reed or Bethesda story that needs a facility identifier needs a different extract than this two-key join.
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/md/agencies/036/ is the table view of the same pair.
A national VA page will show a larger dollar total. Using $20,089,394,064.37 as the entire VA obligation book would drop the Maryland filter. Using 13,471 as a headcount of Maryland veterans would drop the award-record definition.
