Department of Veterans Affairs in Virginia

Agency 036 inside the Virginia extract

Two letters collide in ordinary speech: VA the agency and VA the state. On this page the agency is Department of Veterans Affairs, CGAC 036. The state is Virginia. Their overlap is $99,297,677,410.44 and 50,698 awards. A sentence that says only “VA spending in VA” without those expansions is ambiguous; this join uses both full names.

Fifty thousand six hundred ninety-eight records against $99,297,677,410.44 imply about $1.96 million per award. That mean sits above some VA-state cells with thicker files. It still is not a typical outpatient visit cost. It is dollars divided by award actions.

Department of Veterans Affairs in Virginia is the overlay. Virginia federal spending includes every awarding agency in the state file, not only 036. The postal collision (VA the agency, VA the state) is the citation hazard on this page. $99,297,677,410.44 and 50,698 awards describe Department of Veterans Affairs inside Virginia coding, agency 036. A headline that says only “VA in VA” without expansions will be misread. Spell both names.

Headquarters adjacency is not a packet fact

Northern Virginia’s proximity to federal offices is not a field in this extract. $99,297,677,410.44 is not a headquarters tax and is not proof that Virginia “captures” Veterans Affairs dollars because of geography. The join key is 036 plus the Virginia state tag.

Veteran population, claims inventory, and facility ratings are unpublished. Do not divide $99,297,677,410.44 by an invented veteran count. Do not read 50,698 awards as 50,698 patients. All spending ties places this pair among other agency-state intersections. None of those pages is a clinical scoreboard. Northern Virginia contractor maps belong to other agency joins when the awarding agency is not 036. This cell does not include Defense or Homeland Security work in Virginia. Virginia federal spending is where those other agencies still appear. Department of Veterans Affairs in Virginia is 036 only.
