READER SERVICES FOR VA EMPLOYEE, BASE + THREE OPTION YEARS

About this data

Bounded ingest, not a census: 29,750 contract awards currently loaded (1,593 with full transaction history), per the scope in outlay.config.json. Totals are totals of the ingested set.
Dollar amounts are obligations — money the government has promised to pay, not cash already out the door. Agencies report this data themselves; the Defense Department publishes ~90 days late; the current budget year is still in progress. See methodology.
Outlay (paid-out) figures cover only awards that link between contract records and agency financial reports: for Department of Veterans Affairs, 1,648 of 5,855 reported contracts ($32.3B of $48.5B in FY2026 gross outlays) as of FY2026 period 9. Awards without a link show obligations only — that is a coverage fact, not a spending fact.
Source records republish silently; Outlay keeps its own append-only version archive from first pull onward. Post-publication revisions recorded so far: 2,258 awards (2,273 revisions). Revisions are routine (spending progresses, errors get corrected) and are not themselves evidence of anything.

Last ingest run #21 (running) started Sep 6, 2026, 12:40 UTC — 0 awards, 0 details, 0 transactions.

These purchases came in just barely under the $250,000 line where stricter rules kick in. One alone means little; a buying office with many of these deserves a closer look.
