BARDA Biodefense Medical Countermeasure Development — CFDA 93.360
$2.34 billion in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), Biodefense Medical Countermeasure Development (CFDA 93.360). The listing carries 130 awards, 98 recipients, and a 34-state geographic count. Those dollars are assistance obligations, not outlays and not a count of vaccines, stockpile doses, or EUA products. Ninety-eight recipients against 130 awards is a concentrated advanced-development file: large average awards, almost one row per named organization.
Key figures
- CFDA 93.360 shows $2.34 billion in USAspending obligations for BARDA biodefense medical countermeasure development.
- The listing covers 130 awards and 98 recipients.
- Awards are coded to 34 states in the USAspending geographic count.
- Totals are obligations, not outlays or dose counts.
BARDA countermeasure obligations at $2.34 billion
USAspending.gov records $2,343,557,106.30 in obligations under CFDA 93.360. One hundred thirty awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $18.0 million per award — far larger than a typical NIH investigator grant and consistent with advanced-development awards. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical manufacturing-lot cost or a per-dose price.
The assistance-listing title is BIOMEDICAL ADVANCED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (BARDA), BIODEFENSE MEDICAL COUNTERMEASURE DEVELOPMENT. CFDA 93.360 is the identifier. Other HHS preparedness listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $2.34 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined countermeasure total this packet does not contain.
98 recipients across 34 states
Ninety-eight recipients share 130 awards, or about 1.3 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $2.34 billion evenly would assign about $23.9 million per recipient. That near one-to-one pattern is a short roster of developers and partners, not a dense university portfolio. The packet does not list the 98. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of products, doses, or clinical-trial sites.
Thirty-four states in the geographic count leave a large share of the map uncoded. Advanced-development dollars concentrate where the 98 named organizations sit. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.
Award count is not a product or dose count
Among preparedness-research listings, 93.360 is a low-row, high-dollar file: 130 awards against 98 recipients. Multi-year awards and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique products. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of medical countermeasures.” Recipients (98) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (130) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.
The packet does not report EUA statuses, stockpile doses, or trial enrollments. Citing 130 as vaccines or treatments would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.
Obligations versus BARDA outlays
The $2.34 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against BARDA awards — are not in the packet. A developer can show a large obligation stock while manufacturing 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 93.360 tables omit
The BARDA hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a product registry, not a Strategic National Stockpile inventory, and not a clinical-trial index. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $2,343,557,106.30. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 130 award rows.
Place-of-performance on 34 states 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 manufacturing.
Where the 93.360 table lives
The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 93.360 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other HHS listings. For 93.360 only, start on the program page.
CFDA 93.360’s 130 awards spread $2,343,557,106.30 across 98 recipients and 34 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 1.3 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. Read 93.360 as a BARDA advanced-development book: 98 organizations, 130 awards, 34 states, and $18.0 million averages that describe countermeasure awards rather than investigator grants. The $2.34 billion remains an obligation stock on USAspending.gov.
