Congressionally Directed Assistance — CFDA 12.599

Directed-assistance obligations at $467.9M

USAspending.gov records $467,949,585.46 in obligations under CFDA 12.599. Those 20 awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $23.40 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical award and not a unit cost for earmarks enacted, projects completed, or Defense community facilities built. Other Department of Defense assistance listings under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $467,949,585.46.

The assistance-listing title is CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED ASSISTANCE. CFDA 12.599 is the identifier. Read the $467.9M headline — $467,949,585.46 in the award file — as the obligation book tagged 12.599 only. USAspending.gov assistance awards are the source. This page does not convert obligations into outlays or into a count of earmarks enacted, projects completed, or Defense community facilities built.

20 awards on 16 named recipients

16 recipients share 20 awards. That is about 1.2 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $467,949,585.46 evenly would assign about $29.25 million per recipient. That density is a packet quotient, not a typical grant size and not a cost per unit of earmarks enacted, projects completed, or Defense community facilities built. The packet does not list the 16 named organizations. Read $467,949,585.46 only against CFDA 12.599.

Nine jurisdictions is a narrow map. Directed-assistance dollars follow the named projects in the extract, not a nationwide formula. Place-of-performance amounts, if shown, live on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of earmarks enacted, projects completed, or Defense community facilities built. A simple average is about $23.40 million per award. Combining 12.599 with other Department of Defense assistance listings under different CFDA numbers would invent a combined total this packet does not contain.

A short file is not a small program by dollars

Among assistance listings, 12.599 is a highly concentrated directed-assistance file: 20 awards against 16 named recipients in only 9 jurisdictions. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of projects” and a worse proxy for earmarks enacted, projects completed, or Defense community facilities built. The recipient field (16 recipients) tells you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (20) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report earmarks enacted, projects completed, or Defense community facilities built. Citing 20 as that unit would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $467,949,585.46 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov. Twenty awards and 16 recipients in 9 jurisdictions is a concentrated directed-spending fingerprint.

Obligations versus directed-assistance outlays

The $467,949,585.46 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Congressionally Directed Assistance 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 12.599 to size this listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a dashboard of earmarks enacted, projects completed, or Defense community facilities built. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 12.599. The $467.9M figure is the compact form of $467,949,585.46.

What the 12.599 tables omit

Geographic coding covers 9 jurisdictions. Nine jurisdictions is a narrow map. Directed-assistance dollars follow the named projects in the extract, not a nationwide formula. It is not a full congressional-earmark encyclopedia, not a procurement contract book, and not a count of every Defense community project. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $467,949,585.46.

Place-of-performance on 9 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of Congressionally Directed Assistance funding. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid.
