Key figures

  • CFDA 11.035 shows $1,481,489,572.50 in USAspending obligations in Virginia.

One BEAD award beside Virginia’s other large cells

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 11.035 meets Virginia place of performance. The dollar book is $1,481,489,572.50. 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 rural southwest counties from Northern Virginia.

The join does not prove that Virginia’s unserved-location count, mountain geography, or a particular middle-mile map caused $1,481,489,572.50. Those are other series. Correlation is not causation.

A reader who treats the cell as Virginia’s full federal total has left the CFDA-by-state definition. IDEA, CRF, and Post-9/11 education assistance 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 $1,481,489,572.50 implies a mean of $1,481,489,572.50. With a single row, mean and total are the same number. Downstream subawards to ISPs are not additional prime awards in this extract.

Virginia’s CRF cell also posts as a single award on a different catalog number; do not add the two from memory. Cite BEAD’s own columns. USAspending.gov is the source; SpendingVault does not recast the total as a typical last-mile contract.
