How CFDA 11.035 meets FY2026 in the award file
This page is a join: Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program and fiscal year 2026. $1,735,323,221 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on the yearlyTrend row that carries both tags. It is not every federal dollar in FY2026, not an outlay register, and not a household-passed census, a Universal Service Fund High Cost twin, or a fiber-mile log. The FY cell is 4.2% of the program-wide $41,601,000,000.59 book in this extract. A different fiscal year for CFDA 11.035 is a separate overlay. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; FEC donations do not fund these USAspending obligations.
CFDA 11.035 is the listing without the year filter. FY2026 federal spending is the year without this CFDA filter. All programs lists other catalog hubs. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Only this tie applies both filters. 1 is the year-cell award-record count; the program parent lists 60 awards across the extract. Those counts are different tables.
BEAD Broadband Program as the program side of the FY2026 join
The official title is BROADBAND EQUITY, ACCESS, AND DEPLOYMENT PROGRAM. SpendingVault does not grade BEAD Broadband Program. $1,735,323,221 is an obligation sum, not a verdict. Confusing this join with Universal Service Fund - High Cost or other broadband catalog lines that are not CFDA 11.035 would be a different table. Packet facts on the program side are the name Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program, number 11.035, program-wide obligations $41,601,000,000.59, and 60 awards on the parent. This packet lists no award recipients and no contractor names.
Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program is CFDA 11.035. The FY2026 yearlyTrend cell lists 1 award. That single row is not a proof that only one state received BEAD funds, and it is not a named recipient. The program parent lists 60 awards and a much larger obligation book across the extract. FY2026 can still be incomplete. Do not treat the year cell as the full BEAD appropriation.
What fiscal year 2026 contributes on CFDA 11.035
FY2026 is a USAspending yearlyTrend bucket, not a calendar-year close and not a claim that every obligated dollar was delivered inside calendar 2026. Awards can list FY2026 while performance stretches across adjacent years. FY figures can be incomplete for a current year; this snapshot reports $1,735,323,221 as given. Other fiscal years for CFDA 11.035 belong on those ties. Do not treat $41,601,000,000.59 as if it were the FY2026 headline.
1 awards on the FY2026 cell, not a unit census
The extract lists 1 awards on BEAD Broadband Program in FY2026. That is an award-record count, not 1 unique state, territory, or internet-service provider. Dividing $1,735,323,221 by 1 yields about $1,735,323,221 as a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice and not a median. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without naming a new organization. Do not mix $1,735,323,221 with the parent’s 60 awards.
Obligations on BEAD Broadband Program are not cash already cleared in FY2026
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $1,735,323,221 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared in FY2026 over-reads the field. The join cannot say that fiscal year 2026 specialized in BEAD Broadband Program because of federal demand. Keep $1,735,323,221 labeled as Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program obligations in FY2026. It is not a named-ISP roster, a state-challenge map, or a locations-served dashboard.
Open /programs/11.035/ for the program rollup, /fiscal-years/2026/ for the fiscal-year rollup, /programs/ for other CFDA hubs, and /ties/ for other pairs. None of those links convert this cell into a household-passed census, a Universal Service Fund High Cost twin, or a fiber-mile log, into outlays this packet omits, or into a contractor list. Cite both sides: Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program and FY2026, CFDA 11.035, $1,735,323,221, 1 awards, USAspending.gov, obligations only. Keep Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program and FY2026 on the same line as $1,735,323,221.
