High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas Program — CFDA 95.001
$878.7M in federal obligations ($878,713,815.10) is recorded for the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas Program (CFDA 95.001) in USAspending.gov assistance awards indexed on SpendingVault. That headline is an obligation sum, not a Treasury outlay total and not a count of seizures or cases. The same extract lists 700 awards, 242 recipients, and 45 states. The program hub holds those rows; this page stays inside those four facts.
Key figures
- CFDA 95.001 shows $878,713,815.10 in USAspending obligations.
- 700 awards and 242 recipients sit under that $878.7M total across 45 states.
- Mean dollars per award are near $1.26 million; that quotient is not a case cost.
- Figures are obligations from USAspending.gov, not Treasury outlays or seizure counts.
HIDTA dollars on 700 award records
Assistance listing 95.001 is titled HIGH INTENSITY DRUG TRAFFICKING AREAS PROGRAM in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $878,713,815.10. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay. Treating $878.7M as enforcement already completed mixes two series. SpendingVault keeps the label as obligations.
700 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $878,713,815.10 by 700 produces a mean near $1.26 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical task-force budget and not a cost per case. HIDTA dollars often sit on many regional assistance actions, which is why 700 records can carry $878.7M without implying 700 identical investigations.
242 recipients in 45 states
CFDA 95.001 lists 242 recipients and 45 states against 700 awards. Recipient count is not unique officers. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores for this listing. A HIDTA executive board or participating agency can appear on more than one award; 242 is not a census of task forces. The 45-state span is a coded-jurisdiction count, not a map of every designated HIDTA region.
700 awards against 242 recipients averages about 2.9 award records per recipient. Extra modifications can lift the 700 tally without moving $878,713,815.10 much. The HIDTA hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another.
Obligations versus enforcement outlays
USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $878,713,815.10 figure for CFDA 95.001 can include commitments that will disburse later. A seizure report, a case-count table, 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 95.001 program page. Do not stretch 700 awards or 242 recipients to cover every federal dollar that touches drug-trafficking enforcement.
What the 95.001 tables omit
The HIDTA hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not an indictment file, not a seizure log, and not a designated-region shapefile. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $878,713,815.10. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 700 award rows.
Place-of-performance on 45 states is a coding field. A regional HIDTA coded to one cell can dominate geography while participating agencies sit in many counties. Read the program page before any state split.
How to cite CFDA 95.001
A complete citation is $878,713,815.10 in obligations for CFDA 95.001, covering 700 awards, 242 recipients, and 45 states, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault. Name the series as obligations. If the question is how many organizational participants appear, lead with 242 recipients and 700 awards, then the $878.7M total.

A worked reading of the 95.001 extract
Start from the four packet facts: $878,713,815.10, 700 awards, 242 recipients, and 45 states under CFDA 95.001. The mean near $1.26 million is a quotient from the award count, not a typical task-force invoice. If a later USAspending.gov file adds many small participating-agency actions, 700 can rise while dollars barely move. If a few large commitments post, $878.7M can jump without a matching jump in 242 recipients.
Nothing in the extract splits intelligence from interdiction, or one HIDTA region from another. Those cuts live outside this packet. Treat CFDA 95.001 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 700 awards and 242 recipients next to the dollars so the participant set is visible.
