- VA in South Carolina: $14,532,387,041.99 across 21,111 USAspending awards.
- Implied mean about $688,380 per record, not a typical clinic visit and not a per-veteran payment.

- Statewide SC is not Lowcountry versus Upstate.
VA’s South Carolina-coded award book
Keep two filters in view. Awarding agency is Department of Veterans Affairs, agency 036. Geography is South Carolina. The surviving file is $14,532,387,041.99 and 21,111 awards. Medical care, construction, and benefits-related vehicles can share the VA awarding-agency code. This packet does not classify the mix. Other awarding agencies inside South Carolina sit on other pages even when the same metro hosts their work.
Dollars per record come to about $688,380. That mean mixes large assistance or contract vehicles with smaller actions. It is not a typical clinic visit and not a per-veteran payment. Unique recipients are unpublished. South Carolina also has a Defense join on this site under agency 097. This page stays 036 × SC. Mixing VA and Defense without labeling filters would confuse departments.
What the VA–South Carolina pair is not
This join is not a veteran census, a wait-time score, or a care-quality grade. $14,532,387,041.99 measures award obligations with a 036 awarding-agency code and a SC place-of-performance tag. South Carolina’s coastal and Upstate regions share the SC tag. This packet does not split Charleston from Greenville. North Carolina and Georgia awards remain other state cells.
Department of Veterans Affairs in South Carolina is the overlay. South Carolina federal spending still includes every other awarding agency in the state extract. Department of Veterans Affairs is the parent agency hub without a South Carolina filter. All spending ties holds the rest of the join list. Correlation is not causation: sharing a state with VA does not mean the state caused the cell.
