Federal Labor Relations Authority federal obligations

Federal-sector labor law on an $6.0 million award book

FLRA’s public docket is federal-employee labor relations: ULP charges, representation questions, and related cases under the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute. None of those case counts are in this packet. $6,042,216.15 is what the Authority obligated on federal awards through FY2026—hearing support, IT, facilities, and other instruments tagged to CGAC 054. A year with more charges filed does not automatically raise this total. A systems contract can raise it in a quiet filing year.

Eighty-three awards against $6.0 million implies about $72,798 per award. That low mean on a modest count fits many small administrative instruments. The packet has no median. The National Labor Relations Board covers most private-sector NLRA work under a different CGAC and is not this $6.0 million.

What 83 awards omit

MSPB appeals, OSC investigations, and OPM personnel policy sit under other awarding-agency codes. Mixing those books with $6,042,216.15 would invent a combined “federal workplace” agency that USAspending does not publish. This page stays on CGAC 054.

Authority member and staff salaries generally never appear as awards. The $6.0 million understates FLRA’s full operating cost if a reader expected the award file to equal the appropriation. It is complete as an award ledger.

FY2026 cutoff

Fiscal year 2026 is the latest year on the packet. The $6,042,216.15 is cumulative through that horizon, not a single-year appropriation. Small purchase orders still add to the 83 count even when they barely move the dollar total.

Outlays are unpublished. Treat the figure as commitments for awarding agency 054. Federal Service Impasses Panel and Foreign Service Labor Relations Board work, if funded through this CGAC, are not separately labeled in the packet.

CGAC 054

Federal Labor Relations Authority rows use awarding-agency code 054. SpendingVault’s /agencies/054/ path is keyed to it. NLRB, FMCS, and MSPB use other codes. Code 054 is an identifier, not a case docket number.

State tables versus agency-headquarters geography

The state table for agency 054 attributes the 83 awards using USAspending location fields. That map is vendor and performance geography, not a map of federal bargaining units. A large state share can be a headquarters contractor, not a claim that that state’s federal employees filed more charges.

Open the FLRA agency page for the live $6,042,216.15 and 83-award filters. Use the all-agencies directory to find CGAC 054. Dollar rank among independents is not a ranking of federal-sector labor conflict.

Federal-sector ULPs versus 83 Authority awards

FLRA’s docket is federal-employee labor relations. Charge counts and negotiability decisions are not the 83 USAspending awards. A year with more ULPs filed does not automatically raise $6,042,216.15. A hearing-support or IT vehicle can raise it in a quiet filing year. Keep the docket calendar and the award ledger separate.

Private-sector NLRA work sits at a different awarding agency. Mixing those books with $6.0 million would invent a combined labor agency. This page stays on CGAC 054. The state table for agency 054 is vendor geography, not a map of federal bargaining units.

Authority member and staff salaries generally never appear among the 83 rows, so the table understates full operating cost. FY2026 is the cutoff. Use the FLRA agency page for live tables. Impasses-panel or related work, if funded through this CGAC, is not separately labeled in the packet. Outlays are unpublished. The mean of about $72,798 fits many small administrative instruments.

Negotiability decisions and representation-case counts are docket products. They are not the 83 awards. A spike in filings can leave $6,042,216.15 unchanged if extra work is staff time. A hearing-support vehicle can move the mean of about $72,798 with no change in filings. Cite FLRA statistical tables for cases and the agency 054 page for USAspending dollars. FY2026 is the cutoff. Federal bargaining-unit maps are not this state award table. Outlays are unpublished.

The Federal Service Impasses Panel, if funded through this CGAC, is not separately labeled in the packet. The 83 awards total $6,042,216.15 through FY2026 for awarding agency 054. This page will not invent a component table. Open award-level records if descriptions support a split. Use the FLRA agency page for live tables. Private-sector NLRA work remains a different awarding agency. Outlays are unpublished.

Questions

How much has the FLRA obligated on USAspending?

The Federal Labor Relations Authority shows $6,042,216.15 in obligations through FY2026 across 83 awards. Awarding-agency CGAC 054 is the filter. The total is not a count of federal-sector unfair-labor-practice charges. USAspending.gov records this as awarding-agency obligations through FY2026, not cash outlays. The live table for CGAC 054 is the source for the current 83-award book.

What is the average FLRA award?

Dividing $6,042,216.15 by 83 awards yields about $72,798. The packet has no median. Hearing support, IT, and other administrative instruments share the same mean. 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 054?

054 is the USAspending awarding-agency CGAC identifier for the Federal Labor Relations Authority. SpendingVault uses it in /agencies/054/. NLRB, FMCS, and MSPB use different codes. 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.

Is FLRA the same as the NLRB in USAspending?

No. They are separate awarding agencies with separate CGACs. This page reports only FLRA’s $6,042,216.15 on 83 awards through FY2026. Outlays are unpublished in the packet. 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.
