Department of Defense in Virginia 10th District (VA-10)

A place-of-performance join: Defense × VA-10

Awarding agency 097 and congressional district VA-10 meet here. $14,270,698,917.05 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Defense's nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Virginia 10th District (VA-10), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split military departments or contract versus assistance instruments. 11,062 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not an installation map, a platform catalog, or a named-contractor file.

Dividing $14,270,698,917.05 by 11,062 yields about $1,290,064.99 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 11,062 rows is a thick Defense file: orders and modifications multiply lines. The implied mean is pulled by volume and is still not a typical invoice. Do not treat VA-10's 097 cell as a synonym for every Defense account nationwide. Open Virginia 10th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Defense for agency 097 without a VA-10 filter, Virginia federal spending for every awarding agency in the Virginia extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $14,270,698,917.05.

Department of Defense as awarding agency, not as a named-vendor list

USAspending labels awarding agency 097 as Department of Defense. That code produced $14,270,698,917.05 when crossed with Virginia 10th District (VA-10) place of performance. The agency-wide 097 hub does not require VA-10 geography. The district hub does not require Defense. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 11,062 awards. The packet does not split military departments or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Virginia 10th District (VA-10) did not cause $14,270,698,917.05 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 097 × VA-10 only. This cell is not an installation map, a platform catalog, or a named-contractor file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

Place of performance for Virginia 10th District (VA-10)

Virginia 10th District (VA-10) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list VA-10 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Virginia districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 097. Virginia 10th District (VA-10) is not other Virginia districts that also carry agency 097. Same awarding-agency code, different place-of-performance stamps.

Obligation math for this join

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $14,270,698,917.05 is that kind of sum for Department of Defense inside VA-10 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $14,270,698,917.05 as given.

Virginia's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 11,062-row Defense cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 11,062 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($1,290,064.99) is a concentration statistic, not a typical VA-10 Defense payment.

Using 51.9% and $1,290,064.99 without overclaiming

11,062 rows is a thick Defense file: orders and modifications multiply lines. The implied mean is pulled by volume and is still not a typical invoice. Other Virginia Defense pages are separate cells. Matching agency 097 does not merge VA-10 with VA-02 or VA-07. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $1,290,064.99) and the district share (51.9% of $27,507,429,805.20) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Virginia 10th District and Department of Defense if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Virginia 10th District (VA-10) as more Defense-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 097 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 097 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $14,270,698,917.05 and 11,062 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
