Department of Veterans Affairs federal obligations in Nevada

USAspending.gov records $7,244,516,291.14 in Department of Veterans Affairs obligations under awarding agency 036 with place of performance in Nevada, across 6,402 awards. Las Vegas and Reno VA medical folklore is the usual path. Southern Nevada growth stories are ordinary background. They are not a packet field that explains $7.24 billion. The pair is Department of Veterans Affairs and Nevada — not Nevada’s entire federal inflow and not cash already paid. Average obligation is about $1.13 million ($7,244,516,291.14 ÷ 6,402).

Key figures

  • VA in Nevada: $7,244,516,291.14 across 6,402 USAspending awards.
  • Implied mean about $1.13 million per record, not a typical award size.
  • Agency 036 × NV is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a program split.
  • Cite USAspending.gov; quote Department of Veterans Affairs in Nevada if the live table moved.
  • Nevada federal spending and Department of Veterans Affairs are parents, not amounts to add into $7,244,516,291.14.

What the VA–Nevada join is

Awarding agency 036 and place-of-performance state NV meet here. $7,244,516,291.14 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 Nevada, and not an outlay register. Health care, benefits, and construction can share 036. Nevada also has a Defense (097) cell in this slice; that is a different awarding agency.

6,402 is a mid-thickness book: not a handful of oversized rows, not a farm-program flood of small actions. Modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Dividing $7,244,516,291.14 by 6,402 yields about $1.13 million per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line.

Open Department of Veterans Affairs in Nevada for the live filtered table, Nevada federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Veterans Affairs for agency 036 without a Nevada filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $7,244,516,291.14.

Awarding agency 036 as the VA side

USAspending labels awarding agency 036 as Department of Veterans Affairs. That code produced $7,244,516,291.14 when crossed with Nevada place of performance. The agency-wide 036 hub does not require NV geography. The Nevada hub does not require VA. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 6,402 awards.

A veteran census, a hospital ranking, and a medical-versus-benefits split are unpublished. 6,402 awards is thinner than Kentucky’s 36,962-row VA file in this slice; thickness is not quality of care. A second VA slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Nevada’s 036 cell as a synonym for every VA account.

Nevada as place of performance (NV)

Nevada on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Nevada residents. Awards can list NV while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged California, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, or Oregon stay on those ties. Clark County and Washoe County share one NV stamp. Do not fold California VA work into Nevada.

Nevada federal spending shows how agency 036 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $7,244,516,291.14 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Nevada by county, metro, or congressional district.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $7,244,516,291.14 is that kind of sum for Department of Veterans Affairs inside Nevada 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.

Nevada’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 6,402-row VA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $7,244,516,291.14 as given. Treat 6,402 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors.

Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished.

Questions

How much VA spending is coded to Nevada?
USAspending.gov lists $7,244,516,291.14 in Department of Veterans Affairs obligations across 6,402 Nevada-coded awards. Agency 036 × NV is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Nevada’s complete federal ledger. Department of Veterans Affairs in Nevada is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $1.13 million, a ratio of those two facts only.
Does this total include every VA program in Nevada?
The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup, not a program pie. $7,244,516,291.14 is the combined obligation sum for agency 036 inside Nevada coding. Open Department of Veterans Affairs in Nevada to inspect award lines. 6,402 is an action count, not a program count. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not invent a CFDA split from the department label.
Is $7,244,516,291.14 cash already paid in Nevada?
No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $7,244,516,291.14 as checks already cleared in Nevada confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 6,402 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
Where is the live VA–Nevada table?
Department of Veterans Affairs in Nevada is the overlay. Nevada federal spending and Department of Veterans Affairs are the parents. All spending ties lists other agency-state pairs.
