Key figures
- CFDA 93.421 shows $5.30 billion in USAspending obligations for public-health systems partnerships.
- The listing covers 328 awards and 212 recipients.
- Awards are coded to 59 states in the USAspending geographic count.

Partnership obligations at $5.30 billion
USAspending.gov records $5,301,148,783.36 in obligations under CFDA 93.421. Three hundred twenty-eight awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $16.2 million per award — consistent with national-partner and related grant actions rather than thousands of local-health-department rows. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical local-health budget.
The assistance-listing title is STRENGTHENING PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEMS AND SERVICES THROUGH NATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS TO IMPROVE AND PROTECT THE NATION’S HEALTH. CFDA 93.421 is the identifier. Other public-health listings, if tagged under other CFDA numbers, are not included in the $5.30 billion.
USAspending.gov records the $5,301,148,783.36 obligation stock for CFDA 93.421 together with 328 awards, 212 recipients, and 59 states. Keep this partnership listing on 93.421 when quoting these four facts. Outlays remain a separate column.
Two hundred twelve recipients, 59 states
Two hundred twelve recipients share 328 awards, or about 1.5 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $5.30 billion evenly would assign about $25.0 million per recipient. National partners and related organizations are the unit this kind of listing usually names; the packet does not list the 212.
Fifty-nine states in the geographic count is among the wider coded-jurisdiction sets in this batch. That breadth reports how many state labels appear on 93.421 awards; it does not flatten differences in award size. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.
Award count is not a department count
Among public-health listings, 93.421 is mid-sparse: 328 rows against $5.30 billion. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of health departments strengthened.” Recipients (212) are the organizational headcount.
The packet does not report staffing, lab capacity, or outbreak metrics. Citing 328 as departments or staff would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.
Obligations versus partnership cash
The $5.30 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against these partnership awards — are not in the packet. A recipient can show a large obligation stock while draws follow a grant calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

What the 93.421 tables omit
The partnership hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a health-department directory, not a staffing file, and not an outbreak log. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $5,301,148,783.36.
Place-of-performance on 59 states is a coding field. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on systems work.

CFDA 93.421’s 328 awards spread $5,301,148,783.36 across 212 recipients and 59 states.

Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. The four-fact citation for CFDA 93.421 is the obligation stock on this extract, together with the award, recipient, and state counts already named above. Do not convert those figures into outlays, and do not treat award count as a service census. Start on the program page for CFDA 93.421 before ranking this listing against other assistance rows. Obligations remain the reporting concept on this extract; outlays are not stored in the packet facts. Award count is a record count; recipient count is the organizational headcount; the state figure is a coded-jurisdiction count from USAspending.gov. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the obligation stock; this page does not publish remaining balances. Internal links on this overlay point to the program page, the all-programs index, and agency rollups. SpendingVault indexes USAspending.gov assistance awards; it does not convert this CFDA into a performance scorecard. If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept than obligations on assistance awards.
