Affordable Connectivity Program — CFDA 32.008

63,439 awards under $12.82 billion

Assistance listing 32.008 is titled AFFORDABLE CONNECTIVITY PROGRAM in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $12,818,298,289.70. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not a monthly bill credit already applied.

63,439 awards sit under that dollar book—a high record count among listings of similar size. Dividing $12,818,298,289.70 by 63,439 produces a mean near $202,000 per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical household subsidy and not a per-month broadband rate. Many provider-level actions can add to $12,818,298,289.70 without any single row matching a consumer bill.

1,641 organizational recipients appear on those rows. 56 states are coded for place of performance. Neither count converts the obligation total into enrolled households.

1,641 recipients across 56 states

CFDA 32.008 lists 1,641 recipients against 63,439 awards. Recipient count is not unique subscribers. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores. One provider can hold many awards, which is why 63,439 records can sit on 1,641 recipients.

Fifty-six states is a coded-jurisdiction span, typical of a nationwide assistance listing. Extra modifications can lift the 63,439-award count while dollars stay near $12,818,298,289.70. The connectivity hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another.

Obligations versus broadband outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $12,818,298,289.70 figure for CFDA 32.008 can include commitments that will disburse later. A separate enrollment dashboard or a Treasury outlay table is a different publication. 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 32.008 program page. Do not stretch 63,439 awards to cover every connectivity dollar tagged under another listing.

What the 32.008 tables omit

The Affordable Connectivity Program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a subscriber roster, not a speed-test file, and not a map of every address with a discount. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $12,818,298,289.70.

Place-of-performance on 56 states is a coding field. A national provider coded to one cell can dominate geography while customers sit in many counties. Read the program page before any state split.

A worked reading of the 32.008 extract

Start from the four packet facts on CFDA 32.008: $12,818,298,289.70 in obligations, 63,439 awards, 1,641 recipients, and 56 states. The mean near $202,057 per award is a quotient from those two packet totals, not a typical unit cost and not a household or client rate. If a later USAspending.gov file adds a few large actions, dollars can jump while 1,641 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 63,439 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $12,818,298,289.70.

Nothing in the extract splits AFFORDABLE CONNECTIVITY PROGRAM into subaccounts, fiscal years, or outlay versus obligation series beyond the stored totals. Those cuts live in other publications. Treat CFDA 32.008 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 63,439 awards and 1,641 recipients next to the dollars so the record count is visible beside $12,818,298,289.70. Name the series as obligations, not outlays, every time the figure is reused. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total.

A complete working citation for this listing is $12,818,298,289.70 in USAspending.gov obligations for CFDA 32.008, covering 63,439 awards, 1,641 recipients, and 56 states, indexed on SpendingVault. Do not convert 63,439 awards into enrolled households, or 1,641 recipients into a subscriber roster. The 56-state field is place-of-performance coding in the assistance extract. Read the AFFORDABLE CONNECTIVITY PROGRAM hub before inferring a geographic story from the dollar total alone. If a number you expected is missing from $12,818,298,289.70, the usual cause is a different reporting concept rather than a gap in the 63,439 award rows.

Questions

How much is obligated under the Affordable Connectivity Program?

Why does CFDA 32.008 have 63,439 awards?

The indexed award count is 63,439. Provider-level actions can generate a high record count even when the dollar book is $12,818,298,289.70. The 63,439 figure is a file statistic, not a count of subscribers. 1,641 organizational recipients are stored on those rows.

Does the connectivity total include credits already applied to bills?

How many states appear on CFDA 32.008?

Those rows still sit under the $12,818,298,289.70 obligation total and the 1,641-recipient count. The program hub on SpendingVault holds the award rows behind those totals. Keep the series labeled as obligations from USAspending.gov assistance awards; do not swap in an outlay figure from another report.
