Defense Production Act Title III (DPA Title III) — CFDA 12.777

DPA Title III obligations at $2.08 billion

USAspending.gov records $2,076,417,628.61 in obligations under CFDA 12.777. Eighty-nine awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $23.3 million per award — among the larger per-row figures in this batch and consistent with industrial-capacity awards rather than investigator grants. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical factory-expansion invoice.

The assistance-listing title is DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT TITLE III (DPA TITLE III). CFDA 12.777 is the identifier. Other Department of Defense industrial-base listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $2.08 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined DPA total this packet does not contain.

84 recipients across 6 states

Eighty-four recipients share 89 awards, or about 1.1 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $2.08 billion evenly would assign about $24.7 million per recipient. That near one-to-one pattern is a closed roster of industrial partners, not a nationwide competition with thousands of applicants. The packet does not list the 84. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of plants, machines, or tons of output.

Six states in the geographic count is one of the shortest maps in this batch. DPA Title III dollars concentrate where the named industrial partners are coded. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a factory or tonnage count

Among defense industrial listings, 12.777 is a low-row, high-dollar file: 89 awards against 84 recipients. Multi-year awards and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique facilities. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of DPA projects.” Recipients (84) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (89) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report production capacity, mineral tons, or plant openings. Citing 89 as factories would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus industrial-base outlays

The $2.08 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against DPA Title III awards — are not in the packet. A company can show a large obligation stock while construction or tooling follows a later calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

What the 12.777 tables omit

The DPA Title III hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a factory registry, not a mineral ledger, and not a classified industrial-base catalog. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $2,076,417,628.61. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 89 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 6 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as the full industrial map. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on tooling.

Where the 12.777 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 12.777 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other defense listings. For 12.777 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 12.777’s 89 awards spread $2,076,417,628.61 across 84 recipients and 6 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 12.777 as a concentrated industrial-base book: 84 organizations, 89 awards, 6 states, and $23.3 million averages that describe capacity awards rather than investigator grants. The $2.08 billion remains an obligation stock on USAspending.gov.
