Denali Commission federal obligations through FY2026

Alaska-focused awards in a federal warehouse

The Denali Commission was created to fund infrastructure and development in Alaska, with a statutory emphasis on rural communities. USAspending does not mark rurality. It records awards the Commission made. $127,052,176.51 through FY2026 is that obligation stock. Energy, health-facility, and transportation projects can appear if they were issued as federal awards tagged to CGAC 513. State of Alaska or tribal funds that never become federal awards stay off the table.

One hundred seventy-eight awards is a thinner book than many project-grant agencies of similar mission type. Dividing $127,052,176.51 by 178 yields about $713,776 per award. Fewer instruments and a higher typical obligation: that is the structural fact of this CGAC, not a quality score.

Why the state table may look one-sided

A commission whose statute points at Alaska will often show most USAspending geography in Alaska. Other states can still appear when vendors, engineers, or place-of-performance fields point Outside. That is a location-field result, not a second service area.

Village names, ANCs, and tribal recipients live on award-level records. The 178-row roll-up does not list them. SpendingVault’s state path for agency 513 is the summary.

FY2026 stock, obligations, and construction lag

The $127,052,176.51 is cumulative through the FY2026 cutoff, not a single-year Commission appropriation. Infrastructure awards remain in a running obligation total until closed or de-obligated. Comparing this figure to one year’s appropriation mixes a warehouse stock with an annual funding law.

Outlays on rural construction can lag obligations by years. This packet has no outlay total. Do not treat $127.1 million as cash already in village accounts. Treat it as legal commitments USAspending still attributes to awarding agency 513. Staff pay at the Commission generally never appears among the 178 awards.

CGAC 513

Denali Commission rows use awarding-agency code 513. ARC (309) and DRA (517) are separate books. SpendingVault keeps /agencies/513/ on Denali only. The Interior Department and USDA rural programs use still other CGACs; their Alaska awards are not inside these 178 rows even when they fund similar work.

Using the Denali pages

Open the Denali Commission agency page for the live $127,052,176.51 and 178-award filters. Follow the state subdirectory for geographic attribution. Use the all-agencies index as a directory. Dollar rank against a nationwide grant-maker measures different statutes.

Nothing in this extract scores energy costs, clinic wait times, or barge schedules. Those are other data systems. This file is the federal award ledger through FY2026 for CGAC 513.

Rural infrastructure, village recipients, and 178 rows

Denali Commission projects often involve energy, clinics, or transportation in rural Alaska. USAspending does not mark rurality. The 178 awards carry location fields that may name Anchorage vendors, Juneau offices, or village recipients. The state table for agency 513 will usually concentrate in Alaska and can still show other states when engineers or suppliers are tagged Outside.

Tribal and village recipients live on award-level records. This roll-up does not list them. The packet has no recipient field, so this prose does not invent village names. Open the award file if the question is who signed. The $127,052,176.51 is the Commission-as-awarder stock through FY2026, not a full picture of state, tribal, or local matches.

Construction outlays in rural Alaska can lag obligations by years. This packet has no outlay total. Treat $127.1 million as commitments still attributed to CGAC 513. FY2026 is the vintage. Refresh the Denali agency page after warehouse updates. Staff pay at the Commission generally never appears among the 178 awards, so the table understates full operating cost.

Barge schedules, energy costs, and clinic wait times are other data systems. They are not the 178 USAspending awards. Mixing a fuel-price series with $127,052,176.51 would treat a Commission invoice as if it were a village outcome. This file stays on CGAC 513 obligations through FY2026. Open award-level records for tribal and village recipient names when the question is who signed. Use the Denali agency page for live tables. Outlays on rural construction can lag by years.

Energy-infrastructure awards and health-facility awards can share the 178-row book. The packet does not split them. The $127,052,176.51 is the combined stock through FY2026 for CGAC 513. Readers who need project type must rely on award-level descriptions when they exist. Use the Denali agency page for live tables. Village-level names are not in this roll-up. Outlays on seasonal construction can skip a winter and still sit as open obligations.

Questions

How much has the Denali Commission obligated on USAspending?

USAspending.gov shows $127,052,176.51 in Denali Commission obligations through FY2026 across 178 awards. Awarding-agency CGAC 513 is the filter. The total is federal award commitments, not a full picture of state, tribal, or local matching funds. USAspending.gov records this as awarding-agency obligations through FY2026, not cash outlays. The live table for CGAC 513 is the source for the current 178-award book.

Why is the average Denali award about $714,000?

Dividing $127,052,176.51 by 178 awards yields about $713,776. A thinner award count and a higher mean is the structure of this extract. The packet has no median and no project-type split. That figure uses only the packet totals. The extract has no median and no contract-versus-assistance split. FY2026 is the warehouse cutoff, not a single-year appropriation.

What is agency code 513?

513 is the USAspending awarding-agency CGAC identifier for the Denali Commission. SpendingVault’s /agencies/513/ path uses that code. Appalachian and Delta regional bodies use different CGACs. SpendingVault URLs under the agency path filter to that CGAC identifier. It is an accounting tag, not a quality score. Totals on this page are obligations through FY2026.

Does all Denali spending show up in Alaska?

Often most geography will, given the statute. Other states can appear when USAspending location fields point to vendors or performance sites elsewhere. The state table for agency 513 reports those fields for the 178 awards. Outlays are unpublished in this packet, so this page does not estimate cash already paid. Refresh the agency page after USAspending updates rather than treating the current stock as frozen.
