National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Virginia

What the NASA–Virginia join is

Awarding agency 080 and place-of-performance state VA meet here. $9,355,403,830.79 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Virginia, and not an outlay register. Space, aeronautics, and related instruments can all sit under awarding agency 080. The packet does not name centers, launch sites, or contractors. 2,654 is a relatively thin action file: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Dividing $9,355,403,830.79 by 2,654 yields about $3.53 million per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line, and it is not a launch calendar, not a center payroll, and not a contractor roster. A second NASA slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Virginia’s 080 cell as a synonym for every NASA account.

Open National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Virginia for the live filtered table, Virginia federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, National Aeronautics and Space Administration for agency 080 without a Virginia filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $9,355,403,830.79.

Awarding agency 080 as the NASA side

USAspending labels awarding agency 080 as National Aeronautics and Space Administration. That code produced $9,355,403,830.79 when crossed with Virginia place of performance. The agency-wide 080 hub does not require VA geography. The Virginia hub does not require NASA. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 2,654 awards.

This page reports NASA awarding activity that USAspending coded to Virginia. Correlation is not causation: Virginia did not “cause” $9,355,403,830.79 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 080 × VA only. Space, aeronautics, and related instruments can all sit under awarding agency 080. The packet does not name centers, launch sites, or contractors.

Questions

How much NASA spending is coded to Virginia?

USAspending.gov lists $9,355,403,830.79 in National Aeronautics and Space Administration obligations across 2,654 Virginia-coded awards. Agency 080 × VA is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Virginia’s complete federal ledger. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Virginia is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $3.53 million, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does this total include every NASA program in Virginia?

The packet does not name centers, launch sites, or contractors. $9,355,403,830.79 is the combined obligation sum for agency 080 inside Virginia coding. This page will not invent a program pie. Open National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Virginia to inspect award lines. 2,654 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $9,355,403,830.79 cash already paid in Virginia?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $9,355,403,830.79 as checks already cleared in Virginia confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 2,654 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
