Where the Department's dollars actually go.
The whole Department of Veterans Affairs (USAspending toptier agency 036) as recorded in the public spending feed: budgetary resources and obligations by fiscal year, and the largest contract awards. Most of VA's money is paid directly to Veterans as benefits; the contract awards below are the procurement footprint — health care, the Electronic Health Record, IT, and construction.
Data currency
VA publishes contract-award detail without the Department of War's 90-day OPSEC withholding. Normal USAspending reporting lag still applies, so the contracts table is shown for the latest fully-loaded fiscal year; the in-progress fiscal year is partial and would understate.

Obligations over time
Total agency obligations by fiscal year (all funds, including mandatory benefits). The current fiscal year is partial.
Largest contract awards
Ranked by total obligated amount on the award. For multiyear and IDIQ vehicles this accumulates across option years — a measure of award size, not single-year spend. These are VA's discretionary procurements, a small slice of total agency obligations.
