U.S. Agency for Global Media federal obligations

$1.33 billion on 2,209 USAGM awards

The precise total is $1,326,041,510.57. Divided by 2,209 awards, the implied mean is about $600,000 per award. Network operations, transmission, and content-support contracts can occupy those rows; this packet does not split the 2,209 count by brand, so Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, or other network shares are not stated here.

Fiscal year 2026 is the latest year. Multi-year transmission and IT vehicles can remain open, so $1,326,041,510.57 is not a single broadcast year’s cash. USAspending.gov is the source.

That mix is the research takeaway from the two packet facts together. 2,209 awards at a mean near $600,000 fit network operations and transmission support rather than an audience ledger. A later extract can change both the dollar total and the award count as multi-year transmission and IT vehicles remain open inside FY 2026.

CGAC 514 as the awarding-agency identifier

SpendingVault keys USAGM to /agencies/514/. CGAC 514 is the USAspending awarding-agency code in this extract. The $1,326,041,510.57 total and 2,209 award count roll up rows carrying that identifier. The award count is not a count of languages, transmitters, or weekly listeners.

Obligations versus broadcasting metrics

Audience estimates and language-service lineups are published in other USAGM reports. This hub cites $1,326,041,510.57 in USAspending obligations through FY 2026 on 2,209 awards. Those metrics are not in the packet. Outlays are omitted.

Researchers sometimes treat an agency obligation total as cash already paid. For U.S. Agency for Global Media, that reading is wrong. Weekly listener estimates, language-service counts, or Voice of America versus other network splits belong in other publications. The USAspending figure on this hub remains an obligation sum through FY 2026. Multi-year transmission and IT vehicles remain open inside FY 2026.

State geography for CGAC 514

Place-of-performance may follow Washington operations, domestic contractors, or overseas bureaus that do not fill a U.S. state cell. The geography view is a coding table for the 2,209 awards that sum to $1,326,041,510.57 through FY 2026, not a map of target audiences.

Place-of-performance is a coding field, not a complete economic-impact model. On this agency, Washington operations and domestic contractors fill U.S. cells; overseas bureaus may not. Read the state table after the agency hub, not instead of it. Read CGAC 514 as an awarding-agency rollup, not a ratings report.

USAGM on the all-agencies list

Compare $1,326,041,510.57 and 2,209 awards only with other obligation totals from this extract. The hub does not grade journalism and does not advise advertisers.

The all-agencies list is useful only inside this extract’s obligation definition and FY 2026 cap. 2,209 awards at a mean near $600,000 fit network operations and transmission support rather than an audience ledger. Ranking on dollars alone hides that mix. Read CGAC 514 as an awarding-agency rollup, not a ratings report.

USAGM obligations without audience metrics

Audience estimates live in other USAGM reports. The packet facts are $1,326,041,510.57, 2,209 awards, CGAC 514, and FY 2026. Language-service lineups are not in the packet and are not cited. A later USAspending extract can revise both the dollar total and the 2,209 count as new actions and modifications post against CGAC 514. Until that refresh, the documented book is 1326041510.57 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.

Brand splits are omitted. Rank USAGM only against other obligation totals from this extract. The state table is place-of-performance coding; overseas performance may not fill a U.S. cell. CGAC 514 is the awarding-agency identifier on every row in this rollup, and the overlay path stays /agencies/514/. The award population is 2,209 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.
