Department of State federal obligations (CGAC 072)

Large average actions under CGAC 072

The precise total is $165,614,781,383.14. Divided by 11,855 awards, the implied mean is about $14.0 million per award. Foreign-assistance and diplomatic-operations vehicles can each occupy a small number of high-value rows. This packet does not split the 11,855 records by bureau or country, so the mean is blended.

Fiscal year 2026 is the latest year. Multi-year assistance can remain open, so $165,614,781,383.14 is not a single embassy’s annual cash. USAspending.gov is the source.

That mix is the research takeaway from the two packet facts together. 11,855 awards at a mean near $14.0 million on CGAC 072, a thinner file than the other State-labeled identifier. A later extract can change both the dollar total and the award count as multi-year assistance remains open inside FY 2026.

Stay on code 072 for this hub

SpendingVault’s page for this rollup is /agencies/072/. USAspending awarding-agency identifiers are CGAC codes. The $165,614,781,383.14 total and 11,855 award count belong to 072. Adding CGAC 019’s book here would mix two identifiers that share a department label in the extract.

The 11,855 figure counts award records, not posts, treaties, or foreign-service officers.

Obligations versus foreign-aid outlays

ForeignAssistance.gov and Treasury outlay series use different cuts. This hub cites $165,614,781,383.14 in USAspending obligations through FY 2026 on 11,855 awards tagged 072. Host-country spending that never appears as a U.S. award row is omitted. Outlays are not in the packet.

Researchers sometimes treat an agency obligation total as cash already paid. For Department of State, that reading is wrong. ForeignAssistance.gov cuts, a post census, or a merge with CGAC 019 belong in other publications. The USAspending figure on this hub remains an obligation sum through FY 2026. Multi-year assistance remains open inside FY 2026.

U.S. state geography on overseas-heavy files

Place-of-performance for diplomatic and assistance awards may land in a U.S. state (often headquarters or a domestic contractor) or outside the state table. The geography view is a coding table for the 11,855 awards that sum to $165,614,781,383.14 through FY 2026, not a map of every mission.

Place-of-performance is a coding field, not a complete economic-impact model. On this agency, headquarters or domestic-contractor coding can fill U.S. cells while overseas performance never appears in a state row. Read the state table after the agency hub, not instead of it.

Comparing 072 on the all-agencies list

Rank $165,614,781,383.14 and 11,855 awards only against other obligation totals from this extract. Do not merge the other State-labeled CGAC on this page. The hub does not score foreign policy.

The all-agencies list is useful only inside this extract’s obligation definition and FY 2026 cap. 11,855 awards at a mean near $14.0 million on CGAC 072, a thinner file than the other State-labeled identifier. Ranking on dollars alone hides that mix. Stay on /agencies/072/ for this $165,614,781,383.14 book.

CGAC 072 as a high-mean diplomatic and assistance file

Eleven thousand-plus records carrying $165,614,781,383.14 produce a mean near $14 million. That is the 072 signature in this extract: fewer rows, larger average actions than the other State-labeled code. Country splits are not in the packet. A later USAspending extract can revise both the dollar total and the 11,855 count as new actions and modifications post against CGAC 072. Until that refresh, the documented book is 165614781383.14 in obligations. That figure is not a performance score, not an enacted one-year appropriation, and not a recommendation to apply for funds. It is the award-file rollup this packet carries through FY 2026.

Host-country spending that never appears as a U.S. award row is omitted. Rank 072 only against other obligation totals from this extract. The FY 2026 cap is the latest year on the packet. CGAC 072 is the awarding-agency identifier on every row in this rollup, and the overlay path stays /agencies/072/. The award population is 11,855 records. Those rows still sum to the same obligation total through fiscal year 2026. Readers who need place-of-performance should open the state table from that hub; readers who need peer context should open the all-agencies list. Neither view converts obligations into outlays.

Why are there so few awards relative to the dollars?
