Emergency Commodity Assistance Program — CFDA 10.121

1,145,691 awards under $9.37 billion

Assistance listing 10.121 is titled EMERGENCY COMMODITY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $9,368,129,839.73. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not a commodity already shipped.

1,145,691 awards sit under that dollar book—a record count far above most assistance listings of similar size. Dividing $9,368,129,839.73 by 1,145,691 produces a mean near $8,177 per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical farm payment a reader might recall from another commodity program and not a per-acre rate. Many small actions can add to $9,368,129,839.73 without any single row matching a statewide grant.

The recipient count is 0. That is a file statistic in this extract, not a claim that no organizations exist. 55 states are coded for place of performance. The 0-recipient field should be cited with the dollar total rather than filled in from another report.

A 0-recipient field across 55 states

CFDA 10.121 lists 0 recipients against 1,145,691 awards and 55 states. Recipient count is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores. A zero here means the indexed file does not populate that field for this listing in the packet, not that $9,368,129,839.73 lacks counterparties in some other system.

Fifty-five states is a coded-jurisdiction span. Extra modifications can lift the 1,145,691-award count while dollars stay near $9,368,129,839.73. The commodity hub keeps dollars, awards, the 0-recipient count, and states visible so a blank recipient cell is not treated as missing money.

Obligations versus commodity outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $9,368,129,839.73 figure for CFDA 10.121 can include commitments that will disburse as commodity assistance continues. A separate crop-report or a Treasury outlay table is a different publication. This page does not translate the obligation total into those series.

If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 10.121 program page. Do not stretch 1,145,691 awards to cover every commodity dollar tagged under another listing.

What the 10.121 tables omit

The Emergency Commodity Assistance Program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a farm roster, not a bushel ledger, and not a county production map. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $9,368,129,839.73.

Place-of-performance on 55 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating the 0-recipient count as a gap in the $9,368,129,839.73.

A worked reading of the 10.121 extract

Start from the four packet facts on CFDA 10.121: $9,368,129,839.73 in obligations, 1,145,691 awards, 0 recipients, and 55 states. The mean near $8,177 per award is a quotient from those two packet totals, not a typical unit cost and not a household or client rate. If a later USAspending.gov file adds a few large actions, dollars can jump while 0 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 1,145,691 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $9,368,129,839.73.

Nothing in the extract splits EMERGENCY COMMODITY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM into subaccounts, fiscal years, or outlay versus obligation series beyond the stored totals. Those cuts live in other publications. Treat CFDA 10.121 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 1,145,691 awards and 0 recipients next to the dollars so the record count is visible beside $9,368,129,839.73. Name the series as obligations, not outlays, every time the figure is reused. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total.

Read the EMERGENCY COMMODITY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM hub before inferring a geographic story from the dollar total alone. If a number you expected is missing from $9,368,129,839.73, the usual cause is a different reporting concept rather than a gap in the 1,145,691 award rows.
