Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment obligations in Missouri

Two prime records carry the Missouri BEAD cell

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 11.035 meets Missouri place of performance. The dollar book is $1,736,302,708.59. The award count is 2. BEAD state allocations typically post as a very small number of large awards to the state broadband office or designated recipient. Two prime records do not mean two counties received the entire book, and they do not mean two ISPs were selected.

The join does not prove that Missouri’s unserved-location count, rural density, or a particular middle-mile map caused $1,736,302,708.59. Those are other series. This packet has no project list. Correlation is not causation.

A reader who treats the cell as Missouri’s full Commerce/NTIA obligation book has left the CFDA-by-state definition. The 2 figure is a record count, including any modification in the extract, not a count of passing addresses.

A two-row tape and an $868 million mean

Two awards under $1,736,302,708.59 imply a mean near $868,151,354 per award. That quotient is expected for a state BEAD allocation split across a couple of prime actions. The packet has no median because two rows do not support a useful middle value, and it does not say how the two records split.

Low award counts with high dollars are a BEAD filing pattern, not evidence that construction is finished. Cite both columns. USAspending.gov is the source; SpendingVault does not recast the mean as a typical last-mile contract.

Missouri’s 11.035 cell versus other program lines

Missouri’s state hub stacks every CFDA with performance coded to the state. BEAD is one NTIA line. $1,736,302,708.59 is not Missouri’s all-program total. The nationwide CFDA 11.035 page includes every state, so it is not this cell.

Place-of-performance on a state BEAD award usually sits on Missouri even when subawards to ISPs will later scatter. This packet does not reallocate dollars to counties. Read the overlay as a coding view of 2 awards.

Obligations versus fiber in the ground

The $1,736,302,708.59 figure is an obligation sum. Construction outlays can trail the federal obligation by years. SpendingVault does not publish an 11.035-in-Missouri outlay total in this packet. Mixing FCC map locations or speed-test statistics with this award file leaves the USAspending series.

Cite the join as CFDA 11.035 × Missouri, $1,736,302,708.59, 2 awards, obligations only.

Where to open the table

The Missouri × Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment overlay is the table view. Recipient slices on that hub still sum toward $1,736,302,708.59 on 2 awards. The Missouri spending page and the CFDA 11.035 program page are the parents. The Missouri programs index and the ties index list other pairs.

None of those links convert the cell into fiber miles or into outlays this packet omits.

What Missouri BEAD is not

The Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program in Missouri is not a ranking of unserved locations and not a count of fiber miles. The $1,736,302,708.59 figure is the CFDA 11.035 × Missouri cell. Two awards describe how the state allocation was filed, not two ISPs and not two counties. Subawards that come later are not extra prime rows in this extract.

Social Insurance for Railroad Workers in Missouri is a different catalog number with a high-volume tape. Similar dollar order of magnitude and opposite award-count patterns are a filing contrast, not a comparison of “importance.” Cite BEAD and Missouri together, keep the obligation label, and keep the 2-award count. Construction draws can lag the federal obligation by years.

Missouri’s BEAD cell also does not include FCC National Broadband Map locations, subaward lists, or miles of fiber placed. Those series live with NTIA and the state broadband office after subawards post. SpendingVault cites USAspending.gov obligations only: CFDA 11.035 × Missouri, $1,736,302,708.59, 2 awards. If a later extract revises the two-row tape, the implied mean near $868,151,354 moves with it. Quote the packet facts and the overlay path rather than a construction story.

Questions

How much BEAD spending is in Missouri?

USAspending.gov shows $1,736,302,708.59 in CFDA 11.035 obligations coded to Missouri across 2 awards. The join uses the program number and Missouri place of performance. The total is obligations, not outlays.

Why only 2 awards for $1.74 billion?

BEAD state allocations often post as a few large prime awards to the designated state recipient. The extract counts 2 records tagged to CFDA 11.035 and Missouri. The implied mean is about $868,151,354 per award. That mean is not a typical ISP contract.

Is $1.74 billion Missouri’s full federal spending?

No. $1,736,302,708.59 is only the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program cell. Other CFDA programs with Missouri place of performance sit on the statewide hub. Nationwide 11.035 is not limited to Missouri.

Do these obligations equal broadband construction completed?

No. $1,736,302,708.59 is an obligation sum. Outlays are a different USAspending series. Construction draws can lag the federal obligation by years.
