National Archives and Records Administration federal obligations in Virginia

One USAspending cell: National Archives and Records Administration and Virginia

This page is a join: National Archives and Records Administration as awarding agency 088, Virginia as place of performance. The published cell is $180,104,417.56. That number does not describe every NARA bureau account in the country, and it does not describe every federal award in Virginia. Archives, records, and presidential-library folklore is a reader path, not a column in this extract.

The award count is 73 — a short award list. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows; the listed count is not a unique-recipient census and not a census of facilities. Names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars.

Instruments behind 73 rows

About $2,467,183.80 per award is $180,104,417.56 ÷ 73. High means often mark a few large instruments; low means often mark many small rows. This packet publishes neither a breakdown by award type nor a list of facilities. Archives, records, and presidential-library folklore remains outside the numeric fields.

Records-center, digitization, and holdings folklore may explain a click. It does not add dollars, awards, or facilities to the extract. Keep the published pair at $180,104,417.56 and 73.

Neighbor-coded work is excluded

National Archives and Records Administration is National Archives and Records Administration without a state filter. Virginia federal spending is Virginia without an agency filter. This slug is the intersection. Citing the nationwide NARA book as if it were Virginia's $180,104,417.56 cell is a misread of the join.

No metro split of Richmond, Norfolk, and Arlington is published here. Awards coded to Maryland, North Carolina, West Virginia, or the District of Columbia are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Richmond.

De-obligations are not in this packet

$180,104,417.56 records commitments tagged to National Archives and Records Administration and Virginia. Payments, recoveries, and cancellations would live in other fields. This extract does not publish those fields.

73 actions can include modifications that change a prior obligation. That is why a record count is not a unique-project census. Use National Archives and Records Administration in Virginia for the live table.

No contractor roster in this packet

The join is descriptive. $180,104,417.56 does not prove that Virginia received too much or too little NARA money, and it does not prove that NARA activity caused local outcomes. No performance metric is in the packet.

Campaign-finance filings do not fund this USAspending cell. National Archives and Records Administration obligations in Virginia and FEC receipts that mention similar words are separate public records. This page does not merge them.

Where National Archives and Records Administration in Virginia sits among other ties

Cite both sides: National Archives and Records Administration (agency 088) and Virginia. Then cite $180,104,417.56 and 73. Then cite USAspending.gov. Skip metro folklore about Richmond, Norfolk, and Arlington. Skip invented facilities.

Until then, the reusable facts are $180,104,417.56, 73 awards, agency 088, National Archives and Records Administration, Virginia (VA), and the obligation unit. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $180,104,417.56. National Archives and Records Administration in Virginia remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance Virginia is statewide; it does not split Richmond, Norfolk, and Arlington. Neighbor-coded activity in Maryland, North Carolina, West Virginia, or the District of Columbia stays out even if mail is handled in Richmond. Correlation is not causation. Archives, records, and presidential-library folklore can be a legitimate research question on another page. Here it is labeled folklore because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Tidewater, capital-region, and piedmont folklore is the same kind of reader path: useful for search, unused as math. Agency 088 on a different state's overlay is a sibling join, not a remainder that must add to a national NARA budget on this page. Virginia's $180,104,417.56 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from National Archives and Records Administration and call the difference 'Virginia versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none. National Archives and Records Administration is the awarding-agency label stored on the Virginia overlay; the numeric key is 088. Readers who only remember the short name NARA still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $180,104,417.56. The 73 figure is not a count of facilities and is not a count of distinct NARA programs. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $2,467,183.80 is not a typical archives or records award. Richmond is a reader landmark, not a published subtotal. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/va/agencies/088/ and canonicalPath /ties/national-archives-and-records-administration-in-virginia/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $180,104,417.56 or 73, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract.
