Military Construction, National Guard — CFDA 12.400

National Guard construction obligations at $1.85 billion

USAspending.gov records about $1.9 billion — $1,852,470,747.26 in obligations under CFDA 12.400. One hundred ninety-five awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $9.50 million per award — consistent with facility-scale construction rather than a small equipment purchase. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical armory bid or a per-square-foot cost.

The assistance-listing title is MILITARY CONSTRUCTION, NATIONAL GUARD. CFDA 12.400 is the identifier. Other Department of Defense construction or Guard listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.85 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined MILCON total this packet does not contain.

58 recipients across 45 states

Fifty-eight recipients share 195 awards, or about 3.4 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $1.85 billion evenly would assign about $31.94 million per recipient. That pattern is a state-level roster with a few extra rows per named organization, which fits construction awards that span more than one year. The packet does not list the 58. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of Guard facilities.

Forty-five states in the geographic count is a broad but incomplete map. Guard construction dollars follow coded project geography, not population. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Fifty-eight recipients against 45 states is close to one state military department per coded jurisdiction, plus a few extra rows. Three-point-four award records per recipient fit multi-year construction more than a one-and-done equipment buy. The $1,852,470,747.26 obligation stock is not a square-footage ledger and not an Active Duty MILCON rollup. Armory inventories, hangar counts, and project completion dates are absent from the packet. Read 195 as assistance rows, 58 as named organizations, and 45 as coded states.

Award count is not a building count

Among defense assistance listings, 12.400 is a mid-volume file: 195 rows against 58 recipients. Phased construction rows and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique facilities. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of armories built.” Recipients (58) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (195) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report square footage, bed-down capacity, or project completion. Citing 195 as buildings would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus payment outlays

The $1.85 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against National Guard construction awards — are not in the packet. A state military department can show a large obligation stock while a contractor payment follows a later draw. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 12.400 to size this Military Construction, National Guard listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as an Active Duty MILCON, Army Corps civil-works, or Guard personnel dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 12.400.

What the 12.400 tables omit

The National Guard MILCON hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a facility inventory, not a readiness score, and not a construction-progress log. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,852,470,747.26. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 195 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 45 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 concrete.

Where the 12.400 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 12.400 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other defense listings. For 12.400 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 12.400’s 195 awards spread $1,852,470,747.26 across 58 recipients and 45 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 3.4 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.
