Department of State obligations in Virginia 11th District (VA-11)

A place-of-performance join: State Dept. × VA-11

Awarding agency 019 and congressional district VA-11 meet here. $6,537,832,814.64 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of State’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Virginia 11th District (VA-11), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split State bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. 1,131 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a diplomatic-post census, a passport total, or a named-contractor file.

Dividing $6,537,832,814.64 by 1,131 yields about $5,780,577.20 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 1,131 awards is a thick State file relative to the modest share. HHS, DHS, and Justice also meet VA-11 on other ties. Do not treat VA-11’s 019 cell as a synonym for every State Dept. account nationwide. Open Virginia 11th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of State for agency 019 without the VA-11 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 $6,537,832,814.64.

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

USAspending labels awarding agency 019 as Department of State. That code produced $6,537,832,814.64 when crossed with Virginia 11th District (VA-11) place of performance. The agency-wide 019 hub does not require VA-11 geography. The district hub does not require State Dept.. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 1,131 awards. The packet does not split State bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Virginia 11th District (VA-11) did not “cause” $6,537,832,814.64 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 019 × VA-11 only. It is not a diplomatic-post census, a passport total, 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.

Obligation math for this join

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $6,537,832,814.64 is that kind of sum for Department of State inside VA-11 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 $6,537,832,814.64 as given.

Virginia’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 1,131-row State Dept. cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 1,131 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 ($5,780,577.20) is a concentration statistic, not a typical VA-11 State Dept. payment.
