NASA federal obligations in Virginia 10th District (VA-10)

National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Virginia 10th District (VA-10) as a USAspending pair

Awarding agency 080 and congressional district VA-10 meet here. $1,247,996,888.10 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not National Aeronautics and Space Administration's nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Virginia 10th District (VA-10), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split NASA centers, missions, or contract versus assistance instruments. 157 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a center census, a mission catalog, a launch manifest, or a named-contractor file.

Dividing $1,247,996,888.10 by 157 yields about $7,949,024.76 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 157 awards is a compact-to-moderate NASA file. Center and mission splits are unpublished. Do not treat VA-10's 080 cell as a synonym for every NASA account nationwide. Open Virginia 10th District for the district table without this agency filter, National Aeronautics and Space Administration for agency 080 without a VA-10 filter, Virginia federal spending for every awarding agency in the Virginia extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $1,247,996,888.10.

How USAspending labels National Aeronautics and Space Administration

USAspending labels awarding agency 080 as National Aeronautics and Space Administration. That code produced $1,247,996,888.10 when crossed with Virginia 10th District (VA-10) place of performance. The agency-wide 080 hub does not require VA-10 geography. The district hub does not require NASA. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 157 awards. The packet does not split NASA centers, missions, or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Virginia 10th District (VA-10) did not cause $1,247,996,888.10 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 080 × VA-10 only. This cell is not a center census, a mission catalog, a launch manifest, or a named-contractor file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

Geography is VA-10, not a facility map

Virginia 10th District (VA-10) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list VA-10 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Virginia districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 080. Virginia 10th District (VA-10) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Virginia. Other Virginia districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 080. Virginia 10th District (VA-10) is a numbered USAspending geography. Sibling ties on the same stamp use agencies 070, 019, and 069.

Virginia federal spending shows how agency 080 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $1,247,996,888.10 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Virginia 10th District (VA-10) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The district-wide obligation total published here is $27,507,429,805.20; $1,247,996,888.10 is the NASA slice of that denominator.

Commitment totals versus cash paid

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $1,247,996,888.10 is that kind of sum for National Aeronautics and Space Administration inside VA-10 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $1,247,996,888.10 as given.

Share, mean, and what they are not

157 awards is a compact-to-moderate NASA file. Center and mission splits are unpublished. Keep National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Virginia 10th District together. Do not fold DHS, State, or DOT dollars into this NASA cell. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $7,949,024.76) and the district share (4.5% of $27,507,429,805.20) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Virginia 10th District and National Aeronautics and Space Administration if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Virginia 10th District (VA-10) as more NASA-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 080 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 080 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $1,247,996,888.10 and 157 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
