Awards

The Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program (CFDA 11.035) shows $1,355,554,553 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Louisiana across 1 award.

Obligations are commitments, not construction draws. The Louisiana × 11.035 overlay holds the row.

Key figures

  • CFDA 11.035 shows $1,355,554,553 in USAspending obligations in Louisiana.

  • The join is program × place of performance, not a fiber-mile ranking.

One BEAD award beside Louisiana’s FEMA cells

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 11.035 meets Louisiana place of performance. The dollar book is $1,355,554,553. The award count is 1. BEAD state allocations typically post as a single large award to the designated state recipient. One prime record does not mean one ISP was selected, and it does not isolate coastal parishes from northern Louisiana.

The join does not prove that Louisiana’s unserved-location count, wetland geography, or a particular middle-mile map caused $1,355,554,553. Those are other series. Correlation is not causation.

A reader who treats the cell as Louisiana’s full federal total has left the CFDA-by-state definition. IHP disaster assistance and Title I are different cells on the same statewide stack. The 1 figure is a record count, not a count of passing addresses.

The implied mean equals the cell

One award under $1,355,554,553 implies a mean of $1,355,554,553. With a single row, mean and total are the same number. Downstream subawards to ISPs are not additional prime awards in this extract.

Louisiana’s IHP cell posts 32 awards on a different catalog number; do not add BEAD and IHP from memory. Cite BEAD’s own columns. USAspending.gov is the source; SpendingVault does not recast the total as a typical last-mile contract.
