State Digital Equity Planning and Capacity Grant — CFDA 11.032
$613.6M in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for the State Digital Equity Planning and Capacity Grant (CFDA 11.032). The listing carries 110 awards, 63 recipients, and a 56-jurisdiction geographic count.

One hundred ten awards against 63 named organizations across 56 jurisdictions is a state-and-territory capacity file, not a last-mile construction ledger.

Digital-equity capacity obligations at $613.6M
USAspending.gov records $613,561,144.87 in obligations under CFDA 11.032. One hundred ten awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $5.58 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical planning-grant invoice and not a cost per household connected.
The assistance-listing title is STATE DIGITAL EQUITY PLANNING AND CAPACITY GRANT. CFDA 11.032 is the identifier. Other NTIA broadband, BEAD, or Digital Equity Competitive listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $613.6M. Combining those codes would invent a combined digital-equity total this packet does not contain.
63 recipients and 110 award rows
Sixty-three recipients share 110 awards, or about 1.7 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $613,561,144.87 evenly would assign about $9.74 million per recipient. That density is a state-capacity pattern: a headcount near the number of participating jurisdictions, each carrying one or two assistance rows. The packet does not list the 63. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal extract, not a census of ISPs or unserved households.
Fifty-six jurisdictions in the geographic count cover states plus territories and other coded entities in the USAspending state field. Capacity dollars still follow allotment and planning awards as coded, not equal shares. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.
Award rows are not a broadband census
Among Commerce broadband listings, 11.032 is a compact capacity file: 110 awards against 63 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of digital-equity plans” and a worse proxy for households connected. Recipients (63) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (110) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.
The packet does not report plans published, devices distributed, or miles of fiber. Citing 110 as connections would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions.
Obligations versus digital-equity outlays
The $613.6M is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against State Digital Equity Planning and Capacity awards — are not in the packet. A planning file can show a large obligation stock while draws follow a later calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.
Use CFDA 11.032 to size this State Digital Equity Planning and Capacity Grant listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a BEAD, Tribal Broadband, or last-mile construction dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 11.032.
What the 11.032 tables omit
The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a coverage map, not an ISP directory, and not a household-connection log. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $613,561,144.87. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 110 award rows.
Place-of-performance on 56 jurisdictions 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 paid to state agencies.
State Digital Equity capacity’s 56-jurisdiction map and 63-recipient headcount together describe a planning-and-capacity book, not a last-mile construction ledger. A researcher comparing 11.032 with BEAD or Tribal Broadband codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. The $613.6M stock is the USAspending obligation book for this listing only.
