Consolidated Tribal Government — CFDA 15.021

Consolidated tribal-government obligations at $1.60 billion

USAspending.gov records $1,598,404,338.24 in obligations under CFDA 15.021. Four hundred ten awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $3.90 million per award — consistent with multi-program tribal awards rather than a single small contract. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical tribal budget or a per-member amount.

The assistance-listing title is CONSOLIDATED TRIBAL GOVERNMENT. CFDA 15.021 is the identifier. Other Interior self-determination or BIA listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.60 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined tribal-funding total this packet does not contain.

251 recipients across 29 states

Two hundred fifty-one recipients share 410 awards, or about 1.6 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $1.60 billion evenly would assign about $6.37 million per recipient. That pattern is close to one or two awards per named tribal government. The packet does not list the 251. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of members or programs.

Twenty-nine states in the geographic count leave a visibly incomplete map. Consolidated tribal-government dollars follow where those governments are coded, not population. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Two hundred fifty-one recipients in 29 states is tribal-government geography: many named organizations, a concentrated state map. About 1.6 award records per recipient is close to one or two awards per government. The $1,598,404,338.24 obligation stock is not a membership census, not a 638-contract rollup, and not Tribal Self-Governance (a sibling listing). Indian Health Service dollars sit on other codes. Quote 410 as assistance rows, 251 as named organizations, and 29 as the coded state count.

Award count is not a program-bundle count

Among Interior assistance listings, 15.021 is a mid-volume file: 410 rows against 251 recipients. Annual compact rows and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique governments. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of tribal programs.” Recipients (251) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (410) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report membership, compact scope, or service acres. Citing 410 as tribes would over-count unique organizations (251). Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus payment outlays

The $1.60 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against consolidated tribal-government awards — are not in the packet. A tribal government can show a large obligation stock while a draw follows a later fiscal period. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 15.021 to size this Consolidated Tribal Government listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a 638 contract, Tribal Self-Governance, or Indian Health Service dashboard. Those series live on other codes. This page reports the obligation book tagged 15.021.

What the 15.021 tables omit

The Consolidated Tribal Government hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a compact inventory, not a membership file, and not a service-area map. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,598,404,338.24. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 410 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 29 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 tribal services.

Where the 15.021 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 15.021 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other Interior listings. For 15.021 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 15.021’s 410 awards spread $1,598,404,338.24 across 251 recipients and 29 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 1.6 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.
