Emergency Connectivity Fund Program — CFDA 32.009

Emergency Connectivity Fund obligations at $2.28 billion

USAspending.gov records $2,281,069,196.24 in obligations under CFDA 32.009. Twenty thousand four hundred fifty-one awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $112,000 per award — far smaller than a typical state formula grant and consistent with school- and library-level connectivity awards. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical device price or a per-student amount.

The assistance-listing title is EMERGENCY CONNECTIVITY FUND PROGRAM. CFDA 32.009 is the identifier. Other FCC or universal-service listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $2.28 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined connectivity total this packet does not contain.

6,754 recipients across 55 jurisdictions

Six thousand seven hundred fifty-four recipients share 20,451 awards, or about 3.0 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $2.28 billion evenly would assign about $338,000 per recipient. That pattern is a large roster of schools, libraries, and similar applicants with a few rows each. The packet does not list the 6,754. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of students, hotspots, or households.

Fifty-five jurisdictions in the geographic count cover states, territories, and additional coded entities in the USAspending state field. Connectivity dollars still vary by applicant. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a device or student count

Among connectivity listings, 32.009 is a high-volume file: 20,451 rows against 6,754 recipients. Application-level rows and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique campuses. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of devices purchased.” Recipients (6,754) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (20,451) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report hotspots, laptops, or students served. Citing 20,451 as devices or students would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions.

Obligations versus connectivity outlays

The $2.28 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Emergency Connectivity Fund awards — are not in the packet. A school or library can show a large obligation stock while reimbursement 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 32.009 tables omit

The Emergency Connectivity Fund hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a device registry, not a student roster, and not a broadband-coverage map. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $2,281,069,196.24. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 20,451 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 55 jurisdictions 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 equipment.

Where the 32.009 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 32.009 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other FCC listings. For 32.009 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 32.009’s 20,451 awards spread $2,281,069,196.24 across 6,754 recipients and 55 jurisdictions. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 3.0 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. Read 32.009 as a high-volume connectivity book: 20,451 rows, 6,754 organizations, 55 jurisdictions, and about $112,000 averages that describe school- and library-level awards. The $2.28 billion remains an obligation stock on USAspending.gov.
