Department of Veterans Affairs federal obligations in Washington

VA’s Washington-coded award book

Keep two filters in view. Awarding agency is Department of Veterans Affairs, agency 036. Geography is Washington. The surviving file is $14,394,295,909.94 and 17,707 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 Washington sit on other pages even when the same metro hosts their work.

Dollars per record come to about $812,916. 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 Unique recipients are unpublished. Washington’s VA cell is statewide WA, including Puget Sound and eastern counties. This packet does not split them. Oregon’s VA join is a different state tag.

What the VA–Washington pair is not

This join is not a veteran census, a wait-time score, or a care-quality grade. $14,394,295,909.94 measures award obligations with a 036 awarding-agency code and a WA place-of-performance tag. Washington’s Puget Sound metros and eastern counties share the WA tag. This packet does not split Seattle from Spokane. Oregon and Idaho awards stay outside this cell.

Department of Veterans Affairs in Washington is the overlay. Washington federal spending still includes every other awarding agency in the state extract. Department of Veterans Affairs is the parent agency hub without a Washington 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. $14,394,295,909.94 is the commitment sum. Treating it as cash already cleared in Washington confuses obligations with outlays. The packet does not assign a fiscal year to the headline; treat $14,394,295,909.94 as the obligation total present in the indexed file.

Washington’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 17,707-row VA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include de-obligations. The implied mean near $812,916 is dollars divided by records, not a typical clinic visit and not a per-veteran payment.

One WA tag, not King County versus the Columbia Basin

This packet does not split $14,394,295,909.94 by county, metro, or Puget Sound and eastern Washington. 17,707 awards stay statewide. Neighboring Oregon and Idaho remain other state cells even when labor markets or projects cross those lines. Publishing King County versus the Columbia Basin 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 Washington filter. Use it for the agency book; use this page for the WA intersection only.
