4,233 awards: a high-volume book on a $296 million total

Most agencies near $300 million show hundreds of awards, not thousands. EXIM shows 4,233. $296,269,420.17 divided by 4,233 is about $69,990 per award—an unusually low mean for this dollar band. That ratio is what you get when a finance agency’s USAspending footprint is many discrete instruments rather than a few giant operations contracts. The packet still does not label how many of the 4,233 are guarantees, insurance, direct loans, or ordinary procurement.

EXIM’s statutory job is to finance U.S. exports when private lenders will not. Exposure on a large aircraft financing is not automatically the same number as USAspending obligations. This page reports the USAspending awarding-agency total only. Authorizations, outstanding exposure, and default claims live in EXIM’s own reports. Mixing those figures with $296,269,420.17 would compare different ledgers.

What the $296.3 million is not

It is not EXIM’s total financing authorized. It is not the face value of every guarantee. It is not a count of export jobs. It is the obligation stock USAspending attributes to awarding agency 083 through FY2026. Administrative contracts for the Bank’s own operations can sit beside program instruments that happened to flow through the same warehouse. The packet does not split those two piles.

Obligations remain commitments. Outlays—cash EXIM actually paid on claims or on its own invoices—are unpublished here. A guarantee can show a small administrative obligation while the contingent exposure is large. Readers who need exposure should not stop at this table.

Questions

How much has EXIM obligated on USAspending?

The Export-Import Bank of the United States shows $296,269,420.17 in obligations through FY2026 across 4,233 awards. Awarding-agency CGAC 083 is the filter. That total is not EXIM’s full financing exposure. USAspending.gov records this as awarding-agency obligations through FY2026, not cash outlays. The live table for CGAC 083 is the source for the current 4233-award book.

Why does EXIM have 4,233 awards?

The USAspending extract counts 4,233 instruments for CGAC 083. Dividing $296.3 million by that count yields about $69,990 per award. High volume and a low mean fit many discrete finance or administrative instruments rather than a few large operations contracts. The packet does not classify each award type.

What is agency code 083?

083 is the USAspending awarding-agency CGAC identifier for the Export-Import Bank of the United States. SpendingVault uses it in /agencies/083/. Other trade and development agencies have separate CGACs. SpendingVault URLs under the agency path filter to that CGAC identifier. It is an accounting tag, not a quality score. Totals on this page are obligations through FY2026.

Is $296 million EXIM’s total export financing?

No. USAspending obligations for awarding agency 083 are not the same ledger as EXIM authorizations or outstanding exposure. The packet publishes the $296,269,420.17 award total and the 4,233 count only. Outlays are unpublished here. Outlays are unpublished in this packet, so this page does not estimate cash already paid. Refresh the agency page after USAspending updates rather than treating the current stock as frozen.
