781 awards under a $2.00 billion OPM book

The precise total is $1,998,173,770.98. Divided by 781 awards, the implied mean is about $2.56 million per award. Benefits-administration, IT, and other support vehicles can occupy a small row count. This packet does not split the 781 records by program, so FEHB, retirement-ops, or USAJOBS-related shares are not stated here.

Fiscal year 2026 is the latest year. Multi-year contracts can remain open, so $1,998,173,770.98 is not a single year’s OPM appropriation. USAspending.gov is the source.

That mix is the research takeaway from the two packet facts together. 781 awards at a mean near $2.56 million describe concentrated administrative contracting, not a payroll of civil servants. A later extract can change both the dollar total and the award count as multi-year benefits-operations vehicles remain open inside FY 2026.

CGAC 024 as the awarding-agency identifier

SpendingVault keys OPM to /agencies/024/. CGAC 024 is the USAspending awarding-agency code. The $1,998,173,770.98 total and 781 award count roll up rows carrying that identifier. The award count is not a count of civil servants, annuitants, or job applicants.

Award files versus retirement and health ledgers

The Civil Service Retirement System, FEHB, and related trust and premium series are published elsewhere. This hub cites $1,998,173,770.98 in USAspending obligations through FY 2026 on 781 awards. Those benefit-payment and premium totals are not in the packet. Outlays are omitted.

Researchers sometimes treat an agency obligation total as cash already paid. For Office of Personnel Management, that reading is wrong. CSRS or FERS payment totals, FEHB premiums, federal headcounts, or USAJOBS applicant counts belong in other publications. The USAspending figure on this hub remains an obligation sum through FY 2026. Multi-year benefits-operations vehicles remain open inside FY 2026.

State geography for OPM awards

With 781 awards, headquarters-coded contracts can dominate state cells. The geography view is a coding table for the $1,998,173,770.98 book through FY 2026, not a map of where federal employees live.

Place-of-performance is a coding field, not a complete economic-impact model. On this agency, headquarters-coded contracts can dominate cells on a 781-row file. Read the state table after the agency hub, not instead of it. Use CGAC 024 for the award rollup; retirement ledgers are other publications.

OPM on the all-agencies list

Compare $1,998,173,770.98 and 781 awards only with other obligation totals from this extract. A thin row count with a multi-million mean describes concentrated administrative contracting. The hub does not advise job seekers or retirees.

The all-agencies list is useful only inside this extract’s obligation definition and FY 2026 cap. 781 awards at a mean near $2.56 million describe concentrated administrative contracting, not a payroll of civil servants. Ranking on dollars alone hides that mix. Use CGAC 024 for the award rollup; retirement ledgers are other publications.

OPM’s thin award file versus benefit systems

Retirement and health-benefit series are published elsewhere. This hub cites $1,998,173,770.98 on 781 awards tagged 024 through FY 2026. Those benefit-payment totals are not packet facts. A later USAspending extract can revise both the dollar total and the 781 count as new actions and modifications post against CGAC 024. Until that refresh, the documented book is 1998173770.98 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.

The 781 count is not a civil-service headcount. Program splits are omitted. Rank OPM only against other obligation totals from this extract. The state table is award coding, not a map of where federal employees live. CGAC 024 is the awarding-agency identifier on every row in this rollup, and the overlay path stays /agencies/024/. The award population is 781 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.

Questions

How much has OPM obligated on USAspending through FY 2026?

Office of Personnel Management records (CGAC 024) sum to $1,998,173,770.98 across 781 awards in this extract. That figure is an obligation total from USAspending.gov through fiscal year 2026, not a retirement-payroll total and not a federal headcount.

What is CGAC 024?

CGAC 024 is the USAspending awarding-agency code for the Office of Personnel Management. SpendingVault’s OPM hub uses that code. The $1,998,173,770.98 obligation total and 781 award count roll up rows carrying 024 through FY 2026.

Why are there only 781 awards?

The 781 count is the number of award records tagged to CGAC 024. Administrative and benefits-operations vehicles can each carry a large share of the $1,998,173,770.98 book. A thin row count is a size-mix fact, not a finding about unprocessed claims.

Where can I see OPM spending by state?

The state table from the CGAC 024 agency page uses place-of-performance fields on the same obligation extract. Geography rows still sit under $1,998,173,770.98 and 781 awards through FY 2026.
