Indian Education Facilities, Operations, and Maintenance — CFDA 15.047

Facilities dollars on 88 award records

Assistance listing 15.047 is titled INDIAN EDUCATION FACILITIES, OPERATIONS, AND MAINTENANCE in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $866,378,822.17. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay. Treating $866.4M as repairs already completed mixes two series. SpendingVault keeps the label as obligations.

88 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $866,378,822.17 by 88 produces a mean near $9.85 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical school-plant budget and not a cost per building. Facilities, operations, and maintenance dollars often sit on a modest number of institutional assistance actions, which is why 88 records can carry $866.4M.

86 recipients nearly match 88 awards in 19 states

CFDA 15.047 lists 86 recipients and 19 states against 88 awards. Recipient count is not unique students. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores for this listing. Awards (88) and recipients (86) sit extremely close: most rows look like one-to-one institutional actions. The 19-state span is a coded-jurisdiction count, concentrated rather than national, and is not a map of every Bureau-funded school.

Because 88 awards are few relative to the dollar total, a handful of large actions can move $866,378,822.17 without a matching jump in the 86-recipient count. Extra modifications can lift award volume while dollars barely move. The 15.047 hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another.

Obligations versus facilities outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $866,378,822.17 figure for CFDA 15.047 can include multi-year operations and maintenance commitments that will disburse later. A facilities-condition index, an enrollment table, 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 15.047 program page. Do not stretch 88 awards or 86 recipients to cover every federal dollar that touches Indian education facilities.

What the 15.047 tables omit

The Indian education facilities hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a building inventory, not a work-order log, and not a student roster. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $866,378,822.17. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 88 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 19 states is a coding field. An institution coded to one cell can dominate geography while campuses sit in many counties. Read the program page before any state split.

How to cite CFDA 15.047

A complete citation is $866,378,822.17 in obligations for CFDA 15.047, covering 88 awards, 86 recipients, and 19 states, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault.

A worked reading of the 15.047 extract

Start from the four packet facts: $866,378,822.17, 88 awards, 86 recipients, and 19 states under CFDA 15.047. The mean near $9.85 million is a quotient from a small award count, not a typical maintenance contract. If a later USAspending.gov file adds a few large facilities actions, dollars can jump while 19 states barely move. If modifications proliferate, 88 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $866.4M.

Nothing in the extract splits operations from maintenance, or facilities from instruction. Those cuts live outside this packet. Treat CFDA 15.047 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 88 awards and 19 states next to the dollars so the concentrated geography is visible.

How much is obligated under Indian education facilities O&M?

USAspending.gov assistance awards indexed on SpendingVault show $866,378,822.17 in obligations for CFDA 15.047, Indian Education Facilities, Operations, and Maintenance.

Why does CFDA 15.047 show only 19 states?

The indexed geographic count is 19 against 88 awards and 86 recipients.

Does the $866.4M total include maintenance already paid?

Not as a cash-paid sum. USAspending reports obligations—commitments to pay—rather than outlays. The $866,378,822.17 figure can include amounts that will disburse later. The 88-award count is a record tally, not a count of work orders. Cite CFDA 15.047 with the obligation total from USAspending.gov assistance awards, not an outlay series.

The extract stores 86 organizational recipients, close to the 88-award count. That pairing is a file pattern, not a census of students. Those rows still sit under the $866,378,822.17 obligation total and 19 states. Recipient count is a file statistic on USAspending.gov assistance awards.
