State Administrative Expenses for Child Nutrition — CFDA 10.560

Child-nutrition admin obligations at $1.59 billion

USAspending.gov records about $1.6 billion — $1,588,031,496.28 in obligations under CFDA 10.560. Five hundred fifty-eight awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $2.85 million per award — consistent with state administrative claiming rows rather than a meal-reimbursement contract. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical SEA payroll or a per-meal admin rate.

The assistance-listing title is STATE ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES FOR CHILD NUTRITION. CFDA 10.560 is the identifier. Other USDA child-nutrition listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.59 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined school-meal total this packet does not contain.

83 recipients across 54 states

Eighty-three recipients share 558 awards, or about 6.7 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $1.59 billion evenly would assign about $19.13 million per recipient. That density is the story: a state-agency roster carrying many administrative rows. The packet does not list the 83. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of schools or nutrition staff.

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

Five hundred fifty-eight awards on 83 recipients is administrative-claiming density: about 6.7 rows per state agency, not 558 school food authorities. Fifty-four states in the geographic count includes territories. The $1,588,031,496.28 obligation stock is not a meal-count file, not an SFA directory, and not National School Lunch or CACFP. Those nutrition streams use other CFDA numbers. Quote 558 as assistance rows and 83 as named organizations. About $2.85 million per award is state-admin scale on this extract.

Award count is not a meal count

Among USDA nutrition listings, 10.560 is a high-repeat file: 558 rows against 83 recipients. Claim-period rows and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique agencies. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of administrative programs.” Recipients (83) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (558) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report meals, SFAs, or FTE. Citing 558 as schools would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus payment outlays

The $1.59 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against child-nutrition admin awards — are not in the packet. A state agency can show a large obligation stock while a draw follows a later claim period. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 10.560 to size this State Administrative Expenses for Child Nutrition listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as National School Lunch, CACFP, or SNAP dashboard. Those series live on other codes. This page reports the obligation book tagged 10.560.

What the 10.560 tables omit

The child-nutrition admin hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a meal-count file, not an SFA directory, and not a staffing survey. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,588,031,496.28. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 558 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 administration.

Where the 10.560 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 10.560 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other agriculture listings. For 10.560 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 10.560’s 558 awards spread $1,588,031,496.28 across 83 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 6.7 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.
