Department of Energy federal obligations in Virginia 3rd District (VA-03)

Virginia 3rd District × Energy is a place-of-performance join, not a lab census

This page pairs awarding-agency 089, Department of Energy, with Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) place of performance. The join is awarding-agency 089 crossed with Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) place of performance, not Virginia’s statewide energy book and not a census of shipyard or lab sites. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $2,819,203,477.72 on 38 awards. The extract does not list labs, plants, or contractor names. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which district has more need, and not a claim that 38 awards equal 38 labs or 38 plants.

Education on agency 091 in Virginia 4th District on this slice is a different agency and a different district. Mixing those listings into $2,819,203,477.72 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and shipyard or lab employment is not causation. Headcount figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $2,819,203,477.72 in a district treasury. Hampton Roads folklore is not a city split in this packet. A Hampton Roads shipyard or lab story is not a packet fact and does not explain the cell.

38 Energy awards behind the VA-03 obligation sum

Mean obligation is about $74,189,565.20 if $2,819,203,477.72 were divided evenly across 38 lines. That ratio is not a published site budget and not a cost per facility. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of labs, plants, or contractors. The 38 rows are a short high-dollar agency file.

Thirty-eight lines are a short, high-dollar agency file. Sort the Virginia 3rd District overlay by amount to see concentration. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Virginia 3rd District for the stored table. Do not convert 38 into a map of Hampton Roads Energy sites. The $2,819,203,477.72 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a laboratory census.

Agency 089 obligations in VA-03 are not site work already completed

Energy awards often obligate as management-and-operating or assistance actions and draw as fiscal periods proceed. The $2,819,203,477.72 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of site work finished and not a Treasury outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. A DOE budget justification dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses agency 089, Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) geography, and the obligation metric.

The awarding-agency title is Department of Energy (code 089). This extract does not split NNSA from science, and it does not split M&O from grants. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 38 awards, agency 089, and Virginia 3rd District (VA-03). This page will not invent a share. NM-02’s Energy overlay on this slice uses the same agency code and a different district tag.

What the VA-03 × agency 089 table omits

The extract has no labs, plants, or contractor names. Facts remain $2,819,203,477.72, 38 awards, agency 089, and Virginia 3rd District (VA-03). This page will not invent a ranking against other districts’ agency-089 joins. VA-03’s all-agency district total is far larger than this Energy cell; do not quote the cell as the district book.

Virginia federal spending and Virginia 3rd District place agency 089 among other listings. Department of Energy is the national agency hub. All spending ties indexes other district × agency pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of federal spending the packet never computed. The $2,819,203,477.72 figure is the tagged pair only. Campaign-finance filings are a different public-record system; this join does not claim donations funded these obligations.

Where the Energy × Virginia 3rd District overlay lives

Start with Virginia 3rd District for the 38-award table behind $2,819,203,477.72. Department of Energy is the nationwide Department of Energy hub. Virginia federal spending gives Virginia context. All spending ties is the shelf for other district-by-agency joins on the same obligation metric. Thirty-eight awards totaling $2,819,203,477.72 remain a short high-dollar awarding-agency file, not a lab census. Site names and contractor UEIs are not in this packet. The $2,819,203,477.72 total is the tagged pair only. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join. If a later extract revises the rollup, this page’s facts will be stale until the packet is rebuilt. Do not annualize $2,819,203,477.72: no fiscal year is in the facts.

How to read the VA-03 × Energy pair

A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is awarding agency 089 (Department of Energy). The other is congressional-district place of performance as Virginia 3rd District (VA-03). The headline $2,819,203,477.72 is the obligation sum on that intersection, about 3.1 percent of the district’s $91,489,301,996.56 all-agency obligation book. It is not a forecast, not a budget request, and not an outlay. It is also not a claim that Department of Energy caused Virginia 3rd District (VA-03)’s economy to grow. Correlation between geography and an awarding-agency code is the join — nothing more. Use the internal links to step off this pair. If you need award-level names, open the overlay rather than treating this narrative as a recipient directory.
