Awards
28
The National School Lunch Program (CFDA 10.555) shows $8,672,633,817.10 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Florida, on 28 awards. This page joins that USDA catalog program to Florida place-of-performance. It is not a count of meals served, not a count of school districts, and not an outlay conversion. Twenty-eight rows can still carry a large federal-to-state nutrition book. USAspending.gov is the source.
Key figures
- CFDA 10.555 × Florida records $8,672,633,817.10 in USAspending obligations.
- 28 awards underlie that sum; the mean is about $309.74 million per record, not a typical meal reimbursement.
- Matching school lunch to Florida is not causation and not a meal census.
- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
Twenty-eight school-lunch awards tagged to Florida
CFDA 10.555 is National School Lunch Program. Florida (FL) is the geography tag. Together they produce $8,672,633,817.10 and 28 records. A 10.555 award tagged to Georgia or Alabama is excluded. A Florida SNAP (10.551) row is a different nutrition CFDA. This page does not add SNAP to the school-lunch cell.
Twenty-eight awards against $8,672,633,817.10 yields a mean of about $309,736,922.04 per record. That mean is not a typical district’s annual lunch reimbursement and not a typical meal price. Large state-agency vehicles can dominate dollars on a short row list. This packet does not name those vehicles or districts.
Tallahassee did not cause $8,672,633,817.10 by appearing as a state code. Correlation is not causation. National School Lunch Program in Florida is the live overlay.
What CFDA 10.555 reports without becoming a meal count
SpendingVault does not grade Florida’s school-meal participation. $8,672,633,817.10 is an obligation sum, not a tray count. CFDA 10.555 is the national hub without the Florida filter. This packet has no national school-lunch total, so none is quoted.
FNS meal-count files and state education nutrition dashboards are other series. They are not the 28 USAspending.gov awards. Mixing a meal count from those files with this join would invent a per-meal dollar figure the packet does not support.

Questions
- How much National School Lunch is obligated in Florida?
- USAspending.gov records $8,672,633,817.10 in CFDA 10.555 obligations across 28 awards coded to Florida. That is a program × state join, not an outlay and not Florida’s full federal total. Other USDA nutrition lines sit on separate pages.
- Does 28 awards mean 28 school districts?
- No. It is an award-row count. $8,672,633,817.10 ÷ 28 is about $309.74 million per record as a mean, not a typical district reimbursement. This packet does not list districts, cafeterias, or meals served. Formula-style state vehicles often post as a short row list.
- Does this include SNAP?
- No. The cell is CFDA 10.555 only. SNAP is CFDA 10.551, a separate join. The $8,672,633,817.10 does not swallow SNAP. Mixing the two would invent a combined nutrition total the packet never computed. Keep both sides of the join in the citation.
- Where is the live overlay?
- National School Lunch Program in Florida is the overlay. See Florida federal spending, Florida programs, CFDA 10.555, and All spending ties. Later ingests override this snapshot. Keep both National School Lunch Program and Florida in the citation. Keep both sides of the join in the citation.
