Department of Veterans Affairs federal obligations in Colorado 5th District (CO-05)

Colorado 5th District × VA is a place-of-performance join, not a veteran census

This page pairs awarding-agency 036, Department of Veterans Affairs, with Colorado 5th District (CO-05) place of performance. The join is awarding-agency 036 crossed with Colorado 5th District (CO-05) place of performance, not Colorado’s statewide veterans book and not a census of veterans. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $2,060,621,480.69 on 400 awards. The extract does not list clinics, veterans, or rating files. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which district has more need, and not a claim that 400 awards equal 400 veterans or 400 clinics.

NASA on agency 080 in CO-07 and CO-02, and DHS on 070 in CO-06, on this slice are other Colorado pairs. Mixing those listings into $2,060,621,480.69 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and veteran population is not causation. Veteran-census figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as Colorado 5th District (CO-05) locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $2,060,621,480.69 in a district treasury. Colorado Springs folklore is not a county split in this packet. A Colorado Springs military-town story is not a packet fact and does not explain the cell.

400 VA awards behind the CO-05 obligation sum

Mean obligation is about $5,151,553.70 if $2,060,621,480.69 were divided evenly across 400 lines. That ratio is not a typical disability check and not a cost per visit. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of veterans, clinics, or claims. The 400 rows are a mid-volume healthcare-and-benefits file.

Four hundred lines are a mid-volume medical-and-benefits file. Sort the Colorado 5th District overlay by amount to see concentration. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Colorado 5th District for the stored table. Do not convert 400 into a map of Pikes Peak VA clinics. The $2,060,621,480.69 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a veteran census.

Agency 036 obligations in CO-05 are not care already delivered

VA awards often obligate as healthcare contracts or benefit vehicles and draw as care or payments proceed. The $2,060,621,480.69 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of appointments completed and not a Treasury outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. A VA medical-center workload file dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses agency 036, Colorado 5th District (CO-05) geography, and the obligation metric.

The awarding-agency title is Department of Veterans Affairs (code 036). This extract does not split healthcare from compensation, and it does not split inpatient from outpatient. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 400 awards, agency 036, and Colorado 5th District (CO-05). This page will not invent a share. CO-06’s DHS overlay on this slice uses agency 070, not 036.

What the CO-05 × agency 036 table omits

The extract has no clinics, veterans, or rating files. Facts remain $2,060,621,480.69, 400 awards, agency 036, and Colorado 5th District (CO-05). This page will not invent a ranking against other districts’ agency-036 joins. Installation names in the Pikes Peak region are not in the facts and will not be used as causes.

Colorado federal spending and Colorado 5th District place agency 036 among other listings. Department of Veterans Affairs 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 $2,060,621,480.69 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 VA × Colorado 5th District overlay lives

Start with Colorado 5th District for the 400-award table behind $2,060,621,480.69. Department of Veterans Affairs is the nationwide Department of Veterans Affairs hub. Colorado federal spending gives Colorado context. All spending ties is the shelf for other district-by-agency joins on the same obligation metric. Four hundred awards totaling $2,060,621,480.69 remain a mid-volume awarding-agency file, not a veteran census. Clinic names and rating distributions are not in this packet. The $2,060,621,480.69 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 $2,060,621,480.69: no fiscal year is in the facts.

How to read the CO-05 × VA pair

A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is awarding agency 036 (Department of Veterans Affairs). The other is congressional-district place of performance as Colorado 5th District (CO-05). The headline $2,060,621,480.69 is the obligation sum on that intersection, about 8.5 percent of the district’s $24,267,357,419.95 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 Veterans Affairs caused Colorado 5th District (CO-05)’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.

Questions

USAspending.gov shows $2,060,621,480.69 in obligations for Department of Veterans Affairs (agency 036) with Colorado 5th District (CO-05) as place of performance, across 400 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not Colorado 5th District (CO-05)’s full federal book. Other agencies tagged to CO-05 sit on separate pages.

Do 400 awards mean 400 veterans in CO-05?

No. Award count is a row count of USAspending actions and can include continuations and modifications. It is not a veteran or clinic census. The packet does not name recipients. See the Colorado 5th District overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Does this include DHS awards in Colorado 6th District?

No. This page is awarding-agency 036 crossed with Colorado 5th District (CO-05). DHS in CO-06 is a different agency and a different district. Those dollars are not inside $2,060,621,480.69. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Is the VA total in CO-05 already spent on care?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $2,060,621,480.69 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Visit counts and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
