Grants for Capital Development in Health Centers — CFDA 93.526

A high-volume capital listing: 1,301 awards

Assistance listing 93.526 is titled GRANTS FOR CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT IN HEALTH CENTERS in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $932,877,104.40. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay. Treating $932.9M as construction already completed mixes two series. SpendingVault keeps the label as obligations.

1,301 awards sit under that dollar book—a high record count next to a still-large sum. Dividing $932,877,104.40 by 1,301 produces a mean near $717,000 per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical clinic renovation bid. Health-center capital dollars often sit on many site-level assistance actions, which is why 1,301 records can coexist with $932.9M.

1,286 recipients nearly match 1,301 awards

CFDA 93.526 lists 1,286 recipients and 57 states against 1,301 awards. Recipient count is not unique patients. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores for this listing. Awards (1,301) and recipients (1,286) sit extremely close: most rows look like one-to-one capital actions rather than a few agencies carrying thousands of modifications. The 57-state span is a coded-jurisdiction count, not a map of every health-center site.

Because award volume is high, extra modifications can lift the 1,301 tally without moving $932,877,104.40 much. The 93.526 hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another.

Obligations versus capital outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $932,877,104.40 figure for CFDA 93.526 can include multi-year construction commitments that will disburse later. A square-footage report, a certificate-of-occupancy file, 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 93.526 program page. Do not stretch 1,301 awards or 1,286 recipients to cover every federal dollar that touches a health-center building.

What the 93.526 tables omit

The health-center capital hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a floor-plan archive, not a patient-capacity file, and not an operating-grant ledger (a different listing). Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $932,877,104.40. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 1,301 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 57 states is a coding field. A grantee coded to one cell can dominate geography while sites sit in many counties. Read the program page before any state split.

A worked reading of the 93.526 extract

Start from the four packet facts: $932,877,104.40, 1,301 awards, 1,286 recipients, and 57 states under CFDA 93.526. The mean near $717,000 is a quotient from a high award count, not a typical clinic project. If a later USAspending.gov file adds many small capital actions, 1,301 can rise while dollars barely move. If a few giant commitments post, $932.9M can jump without a matching jump in 1,286 recipients.

Nothing in the extract splits new construction from renovation, or equipment from buildings. Those cuts live outside this packet. Treat CFDA 93.526 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 1,301 awards next to the dollars so volume is not inferred from the sum.
