Department of Veterans Affairs obligations in Florida 13th District (FL-13)

A place-of-performance join: Veterans Affairs × FL-13

Awarding agency 036 and congressional district FL-13 meet here. $1,084,185,703.04 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Veterans Affairs’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Florida 13th District (FL-13), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split VA administrations or contract versus assistance instruments. 687 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a patient census, an enrollment file, or a named-contractor file.

Dividing $1,084,185,703.04 by 687 yields about $1,578,145.13 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 687 awards is a mid-size VA file. The implied mean is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical clinic invoice. Do not treat FL-13’s 036 cell as a synonym for every Veterans Affairs account nationwide. Open Florida 13th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Veterans Affairs for agency 036 without the FL-13 filter, Florida federal spending for every awarding agency in the Florida extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $1,084,185,703.04.

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

USAspending labels awarding agency 036 as Department of Veterans Affairs. That code produced $1,084,185,703.04 when crossed with Florida 13th District (FL-13) place of performance. The agency-wide 036 hub does not require FL-13 geography. The district hub does not require Veterans Affairs. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 687 awards. The packet does not split VA administrations or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Florida 13th District (FL-13) did not “cause” $1,084,185,703.04 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 036 × FL-13 only. It is not a patient census, an enrollment file, 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 Florida 13th District (FL-13)

Florida 13th District (FL-13) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district.

Florida 13th District (FL-13) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Florida. Other Florida districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 036.

Obligation math for this join

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $1,084,185,703.04 is that kind of sum for Department of Veterans Affairs inside FL-13 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 $1,084,185,703.04 as given.

Florida’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 687-row Veterans Affairs cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 687 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 ($1,578,145.13) is a concentration statistic, not a typical FL-13 Veterans Affairs payment.
