Manufacturing Extension Partnership — CFDA 11.611

MEP dollars on 106 award records

Assistance listing 11.611 is titled MANUFACTURING EXTENSION PARTNERSHIP in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $920,375,343.65. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay. Treating $920.4M as consulting already delivered mixes two series. SpendingVault keeps the label as obligations.

106 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $920,375,343.65 by 106 produces a mean near $8.68 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical center operating budget and not a cost per manufacturer. MEP dollars often sit on a modest number of center-level assistance actions, which is why 106 records can carry $920.4M.

56 recipients lined up with 51 states

CFDA 11.611 lists 56 recipients and 51 states against 106 awards. Recipient count is not unique manufacturers. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores for this listing. A MEP center can appear on more than one award; 56 is close to the 51-state span, a pattern consistent with one primary center per coded jurisdiction plus extras. The 51-state span is a coded-jurisdiction count, not a map of every plant floor.

106 awards against 56 recipients averages about 1.9 award records per recipient. Extra modifications can lift the 106 tally without moving $920,375,343.65 much. The MEP hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another.

Obligations versus manufacturing-extension outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $920,375,343.65 figure for CFDA 11.611 can include commitments that will disburse later. A client-project log, a jobs-retained report, and a Treasury outlay series are different publications. This page does not translate the obligation total into those series.

If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 11.611 program page. Do not stretch 106 awards or 56 recipients to cover every federal dollar that touches manufacturing technical assistance.

What the 11.611 tables omit

The Manufacturing Extension Partnership hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a factory census, not a productivity-score file, and not a client roster. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $920,375,343.65. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 106 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 51 states is a coding field. A statewide center coded to one cell can dominate geography while client work sits in many counties. Read the program page before any state split.

A worked reading of the 11.611 extract

Start from the four packet facts: $920,375,343.65, 106 awards, 56 recipients, and 51 states under CFDA 11.611. The mean near $8.68 million is a quotient from a modest award count, not a typical client engagement. If a later USAspending.gov file adds large center actions, dollars can jump while 56 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 106 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $920.4M.

Nothing in the extract splits cybersecurity from lean, or centers from national projects. Those cuts live outside this packet. Treat CFDA 11.611 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 106 awards and 56 recipients next to the dollars so the center-network pattern is visible.
