Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) — CFDA 11.012

IOOS obligations at $484.6M

USAspending.gov records $484,617,761.09 in obligations under CFDA 11.012. Those 114 awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $4.25 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical award and not a unit cost for buoys deployed, sensors online, or forecast products issued. Other NOAA ocean-observing or coastal listings under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $484,617,761.09.

The assistance-listing title is INTEGRATED OCEAN OBSERVING SYSTEM (IOOS). CFDA 11.012 is the identifier. Read the $484.6M headline — $484,617,761.09 in the award file — as the obligation book tagged 11.012 only. USAspending.gov assistance awards are the source. This page does not convert obligations into outlays or into a count of buoys deployed, sensors online, or forecast products issued.

114 awards on 46 observing partners

46 recipients share 114 awards. That is about 2.5 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $484,617,761.09 evenly would assign about $10.54 million per recipient. That density is a packet quotient, not a typical grant size and not a cost per unit of buoys deployed, sensors online, or forecast products issued. The packet does not list the 46 named organizations. Read $484,617,761.09 only against CFDA 11.012.

Twenty-six jurisdictions is a coastal-and-partner map, not a 50-state formula. IOOS dollars follow regional associations and observing partners. Place-of-performance amounts, if shown, live on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of buoys deployed, sensors online, or forecast products issued. A simple average is about $4.25 million per award. Combining 11.012 with other NOAA ocean-observing or coastal listings under different CFDA numbers would invent a combined total this packet does not contain.

Award rows are not a sensor census

Among assistance listings, 11.012 is a regional-network file: just over a hundred awards against 46 named partners, concentrated in 26 jurisdictions. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of projects” and a worse proxy for buoys deployed, sensors online, or forecast products issued. The recipient field (46 recipients) tells you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (114) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report buoys deployed, sensors online, or forecast products issued. Citing 114 as that unit would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $484,617,761.09 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov. Twenty-six jurisdictions describe a coastal-partner map, not equal state shares.

Obligations versus IOOS outlays

The $484,617,761.09 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) 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 11.012 to size this listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a dashboard of buoys deployed, sensors online, or forecast products issued. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 11.012. The $484.6M figure is the compact form of $484,617,761.09.

What the 11.012 tables omit

Geographic coding covers 26 jurisdictions. Twenty-six jurisdictions is a coastal-and-partner map, not a 50-state formula. IOOS dollars follow regional associations and observing partners. It is not a buoy inventory, not a sea-level dashboard, and not a weather-service appropriation line. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $484,617,761.09.

Place-of-performance on 26 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) funding. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid.

Where the 11.012 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 11.012 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other listings. For 11.012 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 11.012’s 114 awards spread $484,617,761.09 across 46 recipients and 26 jurisdictions. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 2.5 award records per recipient is the density story. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.
