Department of Health and Human Services federal obligations in Virginia

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.

Virginia as place of performance, including the DC fringe

Virginia is USAspending state code VA. An award performed in Fairfax County, a recipient in Richmond, and a record that only stamps VA can all feed $147,420,219,635.25. Awards tagged DC or MD belong on those ties even when staff live in Virginia. The join does not commute-correct the geography field.

Statewide Virginia federal spending is the parent. Agency 075 is one awarding agency there. $147.4 billion is not Virginia’s complete federal footprint, and it is not the Defense-heavy share of that footprint.

Place of performance is not headquarters and not the home address of federal staff. An award can list VA because a contractor’s performance location is in the Commonwealth, not because a cabinet secretary sits in Richmond.

9,695 awards and a lower mean

Average obligation is about $15.2 million ($147,420,219,635.25 ÷ 9,695). A thicker file pulls the mean down versus HHS cells with fewer than 5,000 rows. The average is not a median CMS claim and not a typical research grant.

Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $147,420,219,635.25 as given. Treat 9,695 as award records in the aggregate.

Nine thousand six hundred ninety-five rows under $147.4 billion produce a $15.2 million mean. A thicker file than Connecticut’s HHS cell is why Virginia’s mean is lower. That is arithmetic, not a quality ranking.

What the Virginia–HHS pair does not show

A shared state tag does not mean Virginia selected these awards, and it does not mean HHS outlays equal $147,420,219,635.25 inside the Commonwealth. FEC donations do not fund USAspending awards. Correlation is not causation.

Continue from Department of Health and Human Services in Virginia for the overlay table, Virginia federal spending for all agencies, Department of Health and Human Services for agency 075 nationally, and All spending ties for other pairs.

Beltway geography without reassignment

Virginia HHS at $147,420,219,635.25 on 9,695 awards will be read by some as “really DC.” That reading is wrong for this table. DC-coded awards are on the District tie. VA-coded awards are here. Commuting does not recode the field.

Defense-heavy Virginia stories belong on Defense ties. This page is HHS. Mixing cabinets inflates 075 and hides 097. Use the Virginia hub when you want every awarding agency in one place.
