Technical and Non-Financial Assistance to Health Centers — CFDA 93.129

TA dollars on 218 award records

Assistance listing 93.129 is titled TECHNICAL AND NON-FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO HEALTH CENTERS in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $994,877,548.71. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay. Treating $994.9M as consulting already delivered mixes two series. SpendingVault keeps the label as obligations.

218 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $994,877,548.71 by 218 produces a mean near $4.56 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical TA-contract price and not a cost per health center. Technical-assistance dollars often sit on national and regional cooperative agreements, which is why 218 records can carry $994.9M without implying 218 local clinics received equal checks.

112 recipients across 50 states

CFDA 93.129 lists 112 recipients and 50 states against 218 awards. Recipient count is not unique patients. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores for this listing. A TA organization can appear on more than one award; 112 is not a census of federally qualified health centers. The 50-state span is a coded-jurisdiction count, not a map of every site that received coaching.

218 awards against 112 recipients averages about two award records per recipient. Extra modifications can lift the 218 tally without moving $994,877,548.71 much. The 93.129 hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another. Non-financial assistance in the title is a program label; the USAspending figure remains a dollar obligation.

Obligations versus health-center outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $994,877,548.71 figure for CFDA 93.129 can include commitments that will disburse later. A health-center operating grant, a site-visit log, and a Treasury outlay series are different publications. 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 93.129 program page. Do not stretch 218 awards or 112 recipients to cover every federal dollar that touches a health center.

What the 93.129 tables omit

The technical and non-financial assistance hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a TA-hour timesheet, not a health-center patient roster, and not a quality-measure dashboard. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $994,877,548.71. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 218 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 50 states is a coding field. A national TA provider coded to one cell can dominate geography while work occurs in many counties. Read the program page before any state split.

How to cite CFDA 93.129

A complete citation is $994,877,548.71 in obligations for CFDA 93.129, covering 218 awards, 112 recipients, and 50 states, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault. Name the series as obligations. If the question is how many TA organizations appear, lead with 112 recipients and 218 awards, then the $994.9M total.

Start with the Technical and Non-Financial Assistance to Health Centers program page, then the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total. Nothing here is clinical or billing advice.

A worked reading of the 93.129 extract

Start from the four packet facts: $994,877,548.71, 218 awards, 112 recipients, and 50 states under CFDA 93.129. The mean near $4.56 million is a quotient from a modest award count, not a typical TA invoice. If a later USAspending.gov file adds large cooperative agreements, dollars can jump while 112 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 218 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $994.9M.

Nothing in the extract splits training from quality improvement, or national TA from regional TA. Those cuts live outside this packet. Treat CFDA 93.129 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 218 awards and 112 recipients next to the dollars so the TA-organization count is visible.

Questions

How much is obligated under technical assistance to health centers?

USAspending.gov assistance awards indexed on SpendingVault show $994,877,548.71 in obligations for CFDA 93.129, Technical and Non-Financial Assistance to Health Centers. That sum is an obligation total, not a Treasury outlay total and not a count of TA hours. The same extract lists 218 awards, 112 recipients, and 50 states.

Does “non-financial assistance” mean the $994.9M is not money?

No. The listing title includes non-financial assistance as a program description. The USAspending extract still records $994,877,548.71 in obligations on 218 awards. Obligations are dollar commitments, not a claim that every activity was a cash grant to a clinic. 112 organizational recipients are stored on those rows.

Does the total include money already spent on TA contracts?

Not as a cash-paid sum. USAspending reports obligations—commitments to pay—rather than outlays. The $994,877,548.71 figure can include amounts that will disburse later. The 218-award count is a record tally, not a count of site visits. Cite CFDA 93.129 with the obligation total from USAspending.gov assistance awards, not an outlay series.

How many states appear on CFDA 93.129?

The extract codes 50 states for this health-center TA listing. That count is place-of-performance geography in USAspending.gov assistance files, not a map of every clinic coached. Those rows still sit under the $994,877,548.71 obligation total and the 112-recipient count.
