Department of Veterans Affairs federal obligations in Tennessee

VA’s Tennessee-coded award book

Keep two filters in view. Awarding agency is Department of Veterans Affairs, agency 036. Geography is Tennessee. The surviving file is $15,623,743,791.46 and 40,153 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 Tennessee sit on other pages even when the same metro hosts their work.

Dollars per record come to about $389,105. 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 Unique recipients are unpublished. Tennessee’s VA file is a mid-five-figure action count beside a mid-teens billion obligation sum. Thickness is how often actions were written, not a ranking of veteran need.

What the VA–Tennessee pair is not

This join is not a veteran census, a wait-time score, or a care-quality grade. $15,623,743,791.46 measures award obligations with a 036 awarding-agency code and a TN place-of-performance tag. Tennessee spans Memphis to the Appalachian east. This packet does not split those regions. Neighbor-state awards stay outside the TN tag even when commuting patterns cross the Mississippi or the mountains.

Department of Veterans Affairs in Tennessee is the overlay. Tennessee federal spending still includes every other awarding agency in the state extract. Department of Veterans Affairs is the parent agency hub without a Tennessee 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. $15,623,743,791.46 is the commitment sum. Treating it as cash already cleared in Tennessee confuses obligations with outlays. The packet does not assign a fiscal year to the headline; treat $15,623,743,791.46 as the obligation total present in the indexed file.

Tennessee’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 40,153-row VA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include de-obligations. The implied mean near $389,105 is dollars divided by records, not a typical clinic visit and not a per-veteran payment.

One TN tag, not West Tennessee versus East Tennessee

This packet does not split $15,623,743,791.46 by county, metro, or Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga. 40,153 awards stay statewide. Neighboring Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas remain other state cells even when labor markets or projects cross those lines. Publishing West Tennessee versus East Tennessee 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 Tennessee filter. Use it for the agency book; use this page for the TN intersection only.
