CDC Partnership: Strengthening Public Health Laboratories — CFDA 93.322

Two awards carry $890.1M

Assistance listing 93.322 is titled CDC PARTNERSHIP: STRENGTHENING PUBLIC HEALTH LABORATORIES in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $890,139,482.10. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay. Treating $890.1M as assays already completed mixes two series. SpendingVault keeps the label as obligations.

2 awards sit under that dollar book—the lowest record count in this slice. Dividing $890,139,482.10 by 2 produces a mean near $445.07 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical lab-service invoice and not a cost per specimen. Public-health laboratory partnership dollars on this code sit on two large assistance actions, which is why 2 records can carry $890.1M.

Two recipients in two states

CFDA 93.322 lists 2 recipients and 2 states against 2 awards. Recipient count is not unique laboratorians. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores for this listing. The 2/2/2 pattern is extreme concentration: one award row per stored recipient per coded state in this extract. 2 is not a census of public-health labs nationwide. The 2-state span is a coded-jurisdiction count, not a map of every state lab.

Because 2 awards are few, a single large action can move $890,139,482.10 without a matching jump in the 2-recipient count—there is almost no room to jump. Extra modifications can still lift award volume while dollars barely move. The 93.322 hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another.

Obligations versus laboratory outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $890,139,482.10 figure for CFDA 93.322 can include multi-year commitments that will disburse later. A specimen-throughput report, a proficiency-testing 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—especially a long list of state labs—the usual cause is a different reporting concept or a different CFDA code. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 93.322 program page. Do not stretch 2 awards or 2 recipients to cover every federal dollar that touches public-health laboratories.

What the 93.322 tables omit

The CDC public-health laboratory partnership hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a test-menu catalog, not a biosafety inspection file, and not a directory of every state public-health lab. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $890,139,482.10. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 2 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 2 states is a coding field. A national partner coded to one cell can dominate geography while laboratory work is coordinated across many jurisdictions. Read the program page before any state split.

How to cite CFDA 93.322

A complete citation is $890,139,482.10 in obligations for CFDA 93.322, covering 2 awards, 2 recipients, and 2 states, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault. Name the series as obligations. If the question is concentration, lead with 2 awards, 2 recipients, and 2 states, then the $890.1M total.

Start with the CDC Partnership: Strengthening Public Health Laboratories 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 laboratory advice.

A worked reading of the 93.322 extract

Start from the four packet facts: $890,139,482.10, 2 awards, 2 recipients, and 2 states under CFDA 93.322. The mean near $445.07 million is a quotient from two award records, not a typical lab contract. If a later USAspending.gov file adds one large action, dollars can jump while 2 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 2 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $890.1M.

Nothing in the extract splits testing from training, or reference work from surge capacity. Those cuts live outside this packet. Treat CFDA 93.322 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 2 awards next to the dollars so the extreme concentration is visible.

Questions

How much is obligated under CDC public health laboratory partnership?

USAspending.gov assistance awards indexed on SpendingVault show $890,139,482.10 in obligations for CFDA 93.322, CDC Partnership: Strengthening Public Health Laboratories. That sum is an obligation total, not a Treasury outlay total and not a count of tests. The same extract lists 2 awards, 2 recipients, and 2 states.

Why does CFDA 93.322 have only 2 awards?

The indexed award count is 2 against 2 recipients and 2 states. Laboratory-partnership dollars on this code sit on two large assistance actions, which is why $890,139,482.10 can coexist with a two-row file. The 2 figure is a file statistic, not a count of state labs. Recipient count is not unique laboratorians.

Does the $890.1M total include lab work already paid?

Not as a cash-paid sum. USAspending reports obligations—commitments to pay—rather than outlays. The $890,139,482.10 figure can include amounts that will disburse later. The 2-award count is a record tally, not a count of specimens. Cite CFDA 93.322 with the obligation total from USAspending.gov assistance awards, not an outlay series.

How many states appear on CFDA 93.322?

The extract codes 2 states for this laboratory-partnership listing. That count is place-of-performance geography in USAspending.gov assistance files, not a national lab map. Those rows still sit under the $890,139,482.10 obligation total and the 2-recipient count.
