Food for Peace Emergency Program (EP) — CFDA 98.008

Food-for-Peace emergency obligations at $1.71 billion

USAspending.gov records $1,711,839,006 in obligations under CFDA 98.008. One hundred thirteen awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $15.15 million per award — consistent with large emergency food agreements rather than a small commodity voucher. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical tonnage price or a per-beneficiary ration cost.

The assistance-listing title is FOOD FOR PEACE EMERGENCY PROGRAM (EP). CFDA 98.008 is the identifier. Other USAID food-aid or development listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.71 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined food-aid total this packet does not contain.

25 recipients across 6 states

Twenty-five recipients share 113 awards, or about 4.5 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $1.71 billion evenly would assign about $68.47 million per recipient. That pattern is a small implementing-partner roster carrying large emergency awards. The packet does not list the 25. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of beneficiaries or warehouses.

Six states in the geographic count is a thin domestic map. Emergency food-aid dollars are often coded to headquarters or a handful of U.S. places of performance, not to destination countries as states. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

One hundred thirteen awards on 25 recipients in 6 states is an overseas emergency-food extract with thin domestic geography. About $15.15 million per award is partner-agreement scale, not a commodity voucher. The $1,711,839,006 obligation stock is not a tonnage ledger, not a beneficiary census, and not a Title II development-food rollup. Destination countries are not in the packet as states. Quote 113 as assistance rows, 25 as named organizations, and 6 as the coded U.S. geographic count.

Award count is not a shipment count

Among USAID assistance listings, 98.008 is a mid-volume file: 113 rows against 25 recipients. Multi-year emergency rows and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique partners. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of food shipments.” Recipients (25) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (113) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report metric tons, beneficiary counts, or countries served. Citing 113 as shipments would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus payment outlays

The $1.71 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Food for Peace emergency awards — are not in the packet. A partner can show a large obligation stock while a commodity draw follows a later shipping window. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 98.008 to size this Food for Peace Emergency Program listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a Title II development, USDA food-aid, or domestic SNAP dashboard. Those series live on other codes. This page reports the obligation book tagged 98.008.

What the 98.008 tables omit

The Food for Peace Emergency hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a tonnage ledger, not a country-need index, and not a warehouse inventory. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,711,839,006. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 113 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 6 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as destination countries. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on food.

Where the 98.008 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 98.008 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other USAID listings. For 98.008 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 98.008’s 113 awards spread $1,711,839,006 across 25 recipients and 6 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 4.5 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.
