Veterans Affairs × TN-07 as a geography join
Agency 036 and Tennessee 7th District (TN-07) meet in one place-of-performance cell. $1,202,344,225.96 is the obligation sum tagged to that pair. It is not the district's full $11,408,576,992.61 book, not every Veterans Affairs dollar in Tennessee, and not an outlay. The Tennessee 7th District hub still lists other awarding agencies; the Department of Veterans Affairs hub still lists other districts.
Middle-Tennessee speech often names medical centers as if they were the whole cell. This packet does not split $1,202,344,225.96 by facility, name primes, or count enrolled veterans. Assigning the total to a single campus invents a site the facts do not name. Correlation with local veterans news is not causation.
