Department of Agriculture federal obligations in Virginia

USDA’s Virginia-coded award book

Keep two filters in view. Awarding agency is Department of Agriculture, CGAC 012. Geography is Virginia. The surviving file is $14,405,232,473.39 and 48,592 awards. FNS, FSA, NRCS, Forest Service, and other USDA awarding offices can roll up under agency 012. This packet does not classify those rows. Other awarding agencies inside Virginia sit on other pages even when the same metro hosts their work.

Dollars per record come to about $296,453. That mean mixes large assistance or contract vehicles with smaller actions. It is not a typical farm receipt and not a typical nutrition-award invoice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Virginia’s USDA file is 48,592 award rows under a mid-teens billion sum. That row geometry is not a finding that Virginia farms receive less. Unique producers are unpublished.

What the USDA–Virginia pair is not

This join is not a crop report, a drought score, or a grocery-price index. $14,405,232,473.39 measures award obligations with a 012 awarding-agency code and a VA place-of-performance tag. Virginia’s Northern Virginia counties sit next to the District. This packet does not split NOVA from Hampton Roads or southwest Virginia. DC and Maryland awards stay in other geography cells.

Department of Agriculture in Virginia is the overlay. Virginia federal spending still includes every other awarding agency in the state extract. Department of Agriculture is the parent agency hub without a Virginia filter. All spending ties holds the rest of the join list. Correlation is not causation: sharing a state with USDA does not mean the state caused the cell.

Obligation versus outlay on agency 012

Assistance and contract awards can obligate in one fiscal window and pay on a different schedule. $14,405,232,473.39 is the commitment sum. Treating it as cash already cleared in Virginia confuses obligations with outlays. The packet does not assign a fiscal year to the headline; treat $14,405,232,473.39 as the obligation total present in the indexed file.

Virginia’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 48,592-row USDA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include de-obligations. The implied mean near $296,453 is dollars divided by records, not a typical farm receipt and not a typical nutrition-award invoice.

One VA tag, not NOVA versus Hampton Roads versus southwest Virginia

This packet does not split $14,405,232,473.39 by county, metro, or Northern Virginia and the rest of the Commonwealth. 48,592 awards stay statewide. Neighboring Maryland, the District of Columbia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina remain other state cells even when labor markets or projects cross those lines. Publishing NOVA versus Hampton Roads versus southwest Virginia as a subtotal would invent a number.

Place of performance can follow work in-state, a recipient address, or a reporting convention. Department of Agriculture is the 012 hub without a Virginia filter. Use it for the agency book; use this page for the VA intersection only.

How to reuse the Virginia USDA integers

Keep Department of Agriculture, Virginia, $14,405,232,473.39, and 48,592 awards together. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. Do not treat 48,592 as unique organizations. Do not annualize without a year field. Virginia’s USDA file is 48,592 award rows under a mid-teens billion sum. That row geometry is not a finding that Virginia farms receive less. Unique producers are unpublished.
