TEFAP admin obligations at $490.0M

USAspending.gov records $490,013,075.54 in obligations under CFDA 10.568. Those 386 awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $1.27 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical award and not a unit cost for pounds of food, pantry visits, or TEFAP commodity shipments. TEFAP food-commodity listings or other nutrition assistance codes are not mixed into the $490,013,075.54.

The assistance-listing title is EMERGENCY FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS). CFDA 10.568 is the identifier. Read the $490.0M headline — $490,013,075.54 in the award file — as the obligation book tagged 10.568 only. USAspending.gov assistance awards are the source. This page does not convert obligations into outlays or into a count of pounds of food, pantry visits, or TEFAP commodity shipments.

386 awards on 60 administering agencies

60 recipients share 386 awards. That is about 6.4 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $490,013,075.54 evenly would assign about $8.17 million per recipient. That density is a packet quotient, not a typical grant size and not a cost per unit of pounds of food, pantry visits, or TEFAP commodity shipments. The packet does not list the 60 named organizations. Read $490,013,075.54 only against CFDA 10.568.

Fifty-five jurisdictions cover states plus extra coded entities. Administrative-cost dollars follow administering agencies, not pounds of food moved. Place-of-performance amounts, if shown, live on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of pounds of food, pantry visits, or TEFAP commodity shipments. A simple average is about $1.27 million per award. Combining 10.568 with TEFAP food-commodity listings or other nutrition assistance codes would invent a combined total this packet does not contain.

Admin rows are not a food-pound count

Among assistance listings, 10.568 is a formula-style administrative file: a few hundred awards against 60 named organizations spanning 55 jurisdictions. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of projects” and a worse proxy for pounds of food, pantry visits, or TEFAP commodity shipments. The recipient field (60 recipients) tells you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (386) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report pounds of food, pantry visits, or TEFAP commodity shipments. Citing 386 as that unit would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $490,013,075.54 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov. This CFDA tags administrative costs, not the commodity food itself.

Obligations versus TEFAP outlays

The $490,013,075.54 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Emergency Food Assistance Program (Administrative Costs) awards — are not in the packet. A file can show a large obligation stock while draws, reimbursements, or closeouts follow a different schedule. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. Treasury outlays are a separate series.

Use CFDA 10.568 to size this listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a dashboard of pounds of food, pantry visits, or TEFAP commodity shipments. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 10.568. The $490.0M figure is the compact form of $490,013,075.54.

What the 10.568 tables omit

Geographic coding covers 55 jurisdictions. Fifty-five jurisdictions cover states plus extra coded entities. Administrative-cost dollars follow administering agencies, not pounds of food moved. It is not a commodity-value ledger, not a pantry census, and not a SNAP comparison. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $490,013,075.54.

Place-of-performance on 55 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of Emergency Food Assistance Program (Administrative Costs) funding. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid.
