Department of Veterans Affairs federal obligations in South Carolina

VA’s South Carolina-coded award book

Keep two filters in view. Awarding agency is Department of Veterans Affairs, agency 036. Geography is South Carolina. The surviving file is $14,532,387,041.99 and 21,111 awards. Medical care, construction, and benefits-related vehicles can share the VA awarding-agency code. This packet does not classify the mix. Other awarding agencies inside South Carolina sit on other pages even when the same metro hosts their work.

Dollars per record come to about $688,380. That mean mixes large assistance or contract vehicles with smaller actions. It is not a typical clinic visit and not a per-veteran payment. Unique recipients are unpublished. South Carolina also has a Defense join on this site under agency 097. This page stays 036 × SC. Mixing VA and Defense without labeling filters would confuse departments.

What the VA–South Carolina pair is not

This join is not a veteran census, a wait-time score, or a care-quality grade. $14,532,387,041.99 measures award obligations with a 036 awarding-agency code and a SC place-of-performance tag. South Carolina’s coastal and Upstate regions share the SC tag. This packet does not split Charleston from Greenville. North Carolina and Georgia awards remain other state cells.

Department of Veterans Affairs in South Carolina is the overlay. South Carolina federal spending still includes every other awarding agency in the state extract. Department of Veterans Affairs is the parent agency hub without a South Carolina filter. All spending ties holds the rest of the join list. Correlation is not causation: sharing a state with VA does not mean the state caused the cell.

Obligation versus outlay on agency 036

Assistance and contract awards can obligate in one fiscal window and pay on a different schedule. $14,532,387,041.99 is the commitment sum. Treating it as cash already cleared in South Carolina confuses obligations with outlays. The packet does not assign a fiscal year to the headline; treat $14,532,387,041.99 as the obligation total present in the indexed file.

South Carolina’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 21,111-row VA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include de-obligations. The implied mean near $688,380 is dollars divided by records, not a typical clinic visit and not a per-veteran payment.

One SC tag, not Lowcountry versus Upstate

This packet does not split $14,532,387,041.99 by county, metro, or Charleston, Columbia, and the Upstate. 21,111 awards stay statewide. Neighboring North Carolina and Georgia remain other state cells even when labor markets or projects cross those lines. Publishing Lowcountry versus Upstate as a subtotal would invent a number.

Place of performance can follow work in-state, a recipient address, or a reporting convention. Department of Veterans Affairs is the 036 hub without a South Carolina filter. Use it for the agency book; use this page for the SC intersection only.
