Grid Infrastructure Deployment and Resilience — CFDA 81.254

408 awards under $7.04 billion

Assistance listing 81.254 is titled GRID INFRASTRUCTURE DEPLOYMENT AND RESILIENCE in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $7,043,649,945. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not a construction invoice already paid.

408 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $7,043,649,945 by 408 produces a mean near $17.3 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical household electric bill and not a per-mile transmission cost. Many project-level actions can add to $7,043,649,945 without any single row matching a national grid plan.

396 organizational recipients appear on those rows—close to the award count, so many recipients hold few awards each in this snapshot. 55 states are coded for place of performance. Neither count converts the obligation total into assets hardened.

396 recipients across 55 states

CFDA 81.254 lists 396 recipients against 408 awards. Recipient count is not unique ratepayers. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores. With 408 awards on 396 recipients, the ratio is near one award per recipient in this extract—unlike research listings where one organization holds dozens of awards.

Fifty-five states is a coded-jurisdiction span, including territories if they appear in the file’s state field. Extra modifications can lift the 408-award count while dollars stay near $7,043,649,945. The grid hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another.

Obligations versus grid outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $7,043,649,945 figure for CFDA 81.254 can include commitments that will disburse as projects advance. A separate reliability report 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 81.254 program page. Do not stretch 408 awards to cover every grid dollar tagged under another listing.

What the 81.254 tables omit

The Grid Infrastructure Deployment and Resilience hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a line-mile inventory, not an outage log, and not a project schedule. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $7,043,649,945.

Place-of-performance on 55 states is a coding field. A multi-state utility coded to one cell can dominate geography while assets sit in several localities. Read the program page before any state split.

How to cite CFDA 81.254

A complete citation is $7,043,649,945 in obligations for CFDA 81.254, covering 408 awards, 396 recipients, and 55 states, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault.

Start with the Grid Infrastructure Deployment and Resilience program page, then the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total.

A worked reading of the 81.254 extract

Start from the four packet facts on CFDA 81.254: $7,043,649,945 in obligations, 408 awards, 396 recipients, and 55 states. The mean near $17.26 million 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 396 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 408 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $7,043,649,945.

Nothing in the extract splits GRID INFRASTRUCTURE DEPLOYMENT AND RESILIENCE into subaccounts, fiscal years, or outlay versus obligation series beyond the stored totals. Those cuts live in other publications. Treat CFDA 81.254 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 408 awards and 396 recipients next to the dollars so the record count is visible beside $7,043,649,945. 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 $7,043,649,945 in USAspending.gov obligations for CFDA 81.254, covering 408 awards, 396 recipients, and 55 states, indexed on SpendingVault. Do not convert 408 awards into line miles rebuilt, or 396 recipients into a ratepayer census. The 55-state field is place-of-performance coding in the assistance extract. Read the GRID INFRASTRUCTURE DEPLOYMENT AND RESILIENCE hub before inferring a geographic story from the dollar total alone. If a number you expected is missing from $7,043,649,945, the usual cause is a different reporting concept rather than a gap in the 408 award rows.
