Department of Veterans Affairs in Virginia 3rd District (VA-03)

Veterans Affairs is a small slice of VA-03's book

Agency 036 and Virginia 3rd District (VA-03) meet in one place-of-performance cell. $1,172,586,550.41 is the obligation sum tagged to that pair. It is not the district's full $91,489,301,996.56 book, not every Veterans Affairs dollar in Virginia, and not an outlay. The Virginia 3rd District hub still lists other awarding agencies that dwarf this cell; the Department of Veterans Affairs hub still lists other districts.

1.3% of $91,489,301,996.56 is still an eleven-figure Veterans Affairs cell in absolute dollars, not a trivial remainder. It is also not proof that Veterans Affairs dominates VA-03. Virginia 2nd District is a different geography with its own Veterans Affairs join. Correlation with local military or medical news is not causation.

VA-03's large district book versus agency 036

The district parent is $91,489,301,996.56. Department of Veterans Affairs occupies 1.3% of that book in this extract. Other awarding agencies fill the rest. Adding those rows into $1,172,586,550.41 would overstate the Veterans Affairs join. The Virginia 3rd District page at /districts/VA-03/ is the parent without an agency-036 filter.

Department of Veterans Affairs at /agencies/036/ drops the VA-03 filter. Virginia federal spending at /states/va/ drops the district cut. All spending ties at /ties/ indexes other pairs. Do not treat $1,172,586,550.41 as statewide Veterans Affairs obligations or as the district's headline agency.

1,109 award records stay on the VA-03 cell

1,109 is the join award-record count, not unique vendors and not a clinic list. Dividing $1,172,586,550.41 by 1,109 is not a published typical invoice. Named contractors remain unpublished. Keep the row count on agency 036 × VA-03.

Place of performance is a geography tag, not proof that a medical-center headquarters sits in VA-03. Keep agency 036 and Virginia 3rd District on the same citation as $1,172,586,550.41.
