MCC Foreign Assistance for Overseas Programs — CFDA 85.002

MCC overseas-program obligations at $2.31 billion

USAspending.gov records $2,313,997,232.01 in obligations under CFDA 85.002. Seventy-four awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $31.3 million per award — large even among foreign-assistance listings and consistent with compact-scale awards. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical project invoice in a partner country.

The assistance-listing title is MCC FOREIGN ASSISTANCE FOR OVERSEAS PROGRAMS. CFDA 85.002 is the identifier. Other foreign-assistance listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $2.31 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined aid total this packet does not contain.

23 recipients and a 4-state map

Twenty-three recipients share 74 awards, or about 3.2 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $2.31 billion evenly would assign about $100.6 million per recipient. That pattern is a short roster of compact accounts and related payees, not a nationwide grant competition. The packet does not list the 23. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of partner countries or beneficiaries.

Four states in the geographic count mean almost the entire $2.31 billion is coded outside a 50-state choropleth. That is expected for overseas programs. It is not evidence that the dollars were never obligated. Place-of-performance, if shown, will not look like a domestic formula map.

Award count is not a compact or country count

Among foreign-assistance listings, 85.002 is a low-row, high-dollar file: 74 awards against 23 recipients. Multi-year compact awards and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique countries. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of MCC programs.” Recipients (23) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (74) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report compact status, kilometers built, or households served. Citing 74 as countries would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, and a 4-state count.

Obligations versus MCC outlays

The $2.31 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against MCC overseas awards — are not in the packet. A compact can show a large obligation stock while disbursements follow a multi-year calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

What the 85.002 tables omit

The MCC overseas-programs hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a compact scorecard, not a country directory, and not a beneficiary census. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $2,313,997,232.01. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 74 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 4 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating missing domestic geography as missing money. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already disbursed overseas.

Where the 85.002 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 85.002 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other foreign-assistance listings. For 85.002 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 85.002’s 74 awards spread $2,313,997,232.01 across 23 recipients and 4 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 3.2 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. Read 85.002 as an overseas compact book: 23 payees, 74 awards, 4 coded states, and $31.3 million averages. The $2.31 billion remains an obligation stock on USAspending.gov, not a country or kilometer count.

Questions

How much is obligated for MCC foreign assistance for overseas programs?

USAspending.gov records $2,313,997,232.01 in obligations for CFDA 85.002. SpendingVault indexes 74 awards, 23 recipients, and 4 states. The figure is an obligation sum from assistance awards, not an outlay and not a country count. CFDA 85.002’s $2.31 billion is the USAspending obligation stock.

How many awards does CFDA 85.002 carry?

The listing shows 74 awards against 23 recipients, or about 3.2 award records per recipient. A simple average is about $31.3 million per award. Award count is not a compact or country count. Recipient dollars are on the program page.

Why does CFDA 85.002 show only 4 states?

The extract lists 23 recipients and a 4-state geographic count. Overseas MCC awards often leave most dollars outside the domestic state field. That does not mean the $2.31 billion is missing. The packet does not name the 23 organizations.

Is $2.31 billion already disbursed overseas?

Not necessarily. Obligations are commitments. Outlays are payments. CFDA 85.002’s indexed total is the obligation stock from USAspending.gov. This page does not report cash drawn, remaining balances, or compact results. The $2.31 billion on 74 awards is the obligation figure.
