National Highway Performance Program (NHPP) — CFDA 20.279

NHPP obligations at $5.22 billion

USAspending.gov records $5,216,946,246.40 in obligations under CFDA 20.279. One thousand seven hundred twenty-five awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $3.02 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical construction-contract price.

The assistance-listing title is NATIONAL HIGHWAY PERFORMANCE PROGRAM (NHPP). CFDA 20.279 is the identifier. Other highway listings, if tagged under other CFDA numbers, are not included in the $5.22 billion.

USAspending.gov records the $5,216,946,246.40 obligation stock for CFDA 20.279 together with 1,725 awards, 50 recipients, and 50 states. Keep NHPP on 20.279 when quoting these four facts. Outlays remain a separate column.

Fifty recipients, 50 states

Fifty recipients share 1,725 awards, or about 34.5 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $5.22 billion evenly would assign about $104 million per recipient. State transportation agencies are the unit this kind of listing usually names; the packet does not list the 50.

Fifty states in the geographic count matches the recipient count. Place-of-performance on 50 cells reports nationwide state coding on this extract. Dollar amounts by place are on the program table. Many award rows per state is the density story, not many named organizations.

Award count is not a mile count

Among highway listings, 20.279 is dense relative to its recipient set: 1,725 rows against 50 organizations. Project-level and modification actions can inflate award count relative to unique corridors. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of miles improved.” Recipients (50) are the organizational headcount.

The packet does not report lane-miles, bridge ratings, or letting schedules. Citing 1,725 as miles or bridges would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus highway cash

The $5.22 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against NHPP awards — are not in the packet. A state DOT can show a large obligation stock while construction draws follow a different calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

What the 20.279 tables omit

The NHPP hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a mile inventory, not a bridge log, and not a letting calendar. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $5,216,946,246.40.

Place-of-performance on 50 states is a coding field. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on pavement.

Where the NHPP table lives

The National Highway Performance Program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 20.279 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups. For 20.279 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 20.279’s 1,725 awards spread $5,216,946,246.40 across 50 recipients and 50 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 34.5 award records per recipient is the density story. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. The four-fact citation for CFDA 20.279 is the obligation stock on this extract, together with the award, recipient, and state counts already named above. Do not convert those figures into outlays, and do not treat award count as a service census. Start on the program page for CFDA 20.279 before ranking this listing against other assistance rows. Obligations remain the reporting concept on this extract; outlays are not stored in the packet facts. Award count is a record count; recipient count is the organizational headcount; the state figure is a coded-jurisdiction count from USAspending.gov. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the obligation stock; this page does not publish remaining balances. Internal links on this overlay point to the program page, the all-programs index, and agency rollups. SpendingVault indexes USAspending.gov assistance awards; it does not convert this CFDA into a performance scorecard. If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept than obligations on assistance awards. Name the series as obligations whenever you quote the dollar stock, the award count, the recipient field, or the state count.
