Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program — CFDA 11.029

Tribal broadband obligations at $2.23 billion

USAspending.gov records $2,225,447,349.97 in obligations under CFDA 11.029. Two hundred sixty-nine awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $8.27 million per award — larger than a typical local connectivity grant and consistent with multi-year tribal infrastructure awards. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical household connection cost or a per-mile figure.

The assistance-listing title is TRIBAL BROADBAND CONNECTIVITY PROGRAM. CFDA 11.029 is the identifier. Other NTIA or broadband listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $2.23 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined broadband total this packet does not contain.

247 recipients across 33 states

Two hundred forty-seven recipients share 269 awards, or about 1.1 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $2.23 billion evenly would assign about $9.01 million per recipient. That near one-to-one pattern is a tribal-entity roster, not thousands of last-mile vendors. The packet does not list the 247. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of households or miles of fiber.

Thirty-three states in the geographic count follow where awarded tribal lands and entities are coded, not a 50-state formula. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a mile or household count

Among broadband listings, 11.029 is a moderate-row file: 269 awards against 247 recipients. Multi-year awards and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique projects. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of tribal broadband projects.” Recipients (247) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (269) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report fiber miles, households passed, or speeds delivered. Citing 269 as connections would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus broadband outlays

The $2.23 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Tribal Broadband Connectivity awards — are not in the packet. A tribal entity can show a large obligation stock while construction follows a multi-year calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

What the 11.029 tables omit

The Tribal Broadband Connectivity hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a fiber inventory, not a household-passed file, and not a spectrum register. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $2,225,447,349.97. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 269 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 33 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 construction.

Where the 11.029 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 11.029 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other commerce listings. For 11.029 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 11.029’s 269 awards spread $2,225,447,349.97 across 247 recipients and 33 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 1.1 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. Read 11.029 as a tribal-entity infrastructure book: 247 organizations, 269 awards, 33 states, and about 1.1 rows per recipient. The $2.23 billion remains an obligation stock on USAspending.gov, not a fiber-mile or household count. Nearly one award per tribal recipient is the structural story; 33 states mark where those entities are coded.
