Child and Adult Care Food Program — CFDA 10.558

CACFP obligations at $1.85 billion

USAspending.gov records $1,846,681,703.19 in obligations under CFDA 10.558. Six hundred ninety-nine awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $2.64 million per award — consistent with state-level reimbursement rows rather than a single-center meal contract. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a per-meal rate or a typical day-care food budget.

The assistance-listing title is CHILD AND ADULT CARE FOOD PROGRAM. CFDA 10.558 is the identifier. Other USDA child-nutrition listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.85 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined school-and-child-care meal total this packet does not contain.

60 recipients across 54 states

Sixty recipients share 699 awards, or about 11.7 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $1.85 billion evenly would assign about $30.78 million per recipient. That density is the story: a small state-agency roster carrying many reimbursement rows. The packet does not list the 60. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of child-care homes or adult day centers.

Fifty-four states in the geographic count is a near-complete map plus territories. CACFP dollars in this extract follow that coded geography. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Eleven-point-seven award records per recipient is the CACFP signature on this extract: 699 rows stacked on 60 organizations, almost all state agencies. That is reimbursement-period density, not 699 day-care homes. Fifty-four states in the geographic count includes territories beyond the 50 states. Meal counts, provider directories, and adult-center licenses are not in the packet. The $1,846,681,703.19 figure remains an obligation sum from USAspending.gov, distinct from National School Lunch or SNAP listings tagged to other CFDA numbers.

Award count is not a meal count

Among USDA nutrition listings, 10.558 is a high-repeat file: 699 rows against 60 recipients. Claim-period rows and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique agencies. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of meals served.” Recipients (60) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (699) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report meals, sites, or enrollment. Citing 699 as centers would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus payment outlays

The $1.85 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against CACFP awards — are not in the packet. A state agency can show a large obligation stock while a reimbursement follows a later claim month. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 10.558 to size this Child and Adult Care Food Program listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a National School Lunch, WIC, or SNAP dashboard. Those series live on other CFDA codes. This page reports the obligation book tagged 10.558.

What the 10.558 tables omit

The CACFP hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a meal-count file, not a provider directory, and not a nutrition-quality survey. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,846,681,703.19. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 699 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 54 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on food.

Where the 10.558 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 10.558 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other agriculture listings. For 10.558 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 10.558’s 699 awards spread $1,846,681,703.19 across 60 recipients and 54 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 11.7 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.
