USAspending.gov records $147,420,219,635.25 in Department of Health and Human Services obligations under awarding agency 075 with place of performance in Virginia, across 9,695 awards. Virginia’s HHS file is thicker than several higher-dollar HHS cells, which lowers the mean to about $15.2 million. Northern Virginia’s proximity to federal offices does not, by itself, explain the table; the join does not locate awards inside the Beltway. Obligations are commitments, not outlays.

The 075 × VA overlap
This page filters awarding agency 075 and place-of-performance Virginia. The $147,420,219,635.25 obligation total is the sum on records that carry both keys. Virginia’s all-agency hub and HHS’s all-state hub are separate parents.
Nine thousand six hundred ninety-five awards is a high row count relative to the dollar total. More instruments under $147.4 billion produce a lower mean than South Carolina or Connecticut HHS cells. That is table shape, not a finding about Virginia’s health agencies.
Virginia’s HHS cell is $147,420,219,635.25 on 9,695 awards. Defense and other cabinets often dominate Virginia federal-spending conversations; those cabinets are not in this cell. Mixing them with 075 would overstate HHS and understate the rest of the state hub. Virginia HHS is $147,420,219,635.25 on 9,695 awards. Defense conversations about the Commonwealth belong on agency 097 ties, not here. Folding Defense into 075 would overstate HHS and hide the rest of the Virginia hub. Northern Virginia commuting into the District does not recode DC awards as VA. Place of performance is the stored field. The $15.2 million mean is lower than Connecticut HHS because Virginia’s file has more rows. Maryland-tagged awards stay on the Maryland tie. The overlay, the Virginia hub, the HHS hub, and All spending ties remain the four links.
HHS code 075, not the rest of the federal health map
Awarding agency 075 is Department of Health and Human Services. Defense medical commands, Veterans Affairs, and the Office of Personnel Management use other codes and other Virginia ties. Those dollars sit outside $147,420,219,635.25.
The national 075 hub drops the Virginia filter. Packet facts are the obligation sum, 9,695 awards, state VA, and the code. No Northern Virginia versus Southwest Virginia split is supplied.
Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads, and Southwest Virginia share one VA tag. The join does not isolate the Beltway. Awards tagged DC or MD stay on those ties even when the workforce lives in Virginia.
