BEAD Program obligations in Texas (CFDA 11.035)

What a one-award BEAD–Texas join means

CFDA 11.035 is titled BROADBAND EQUITY, ACCESS, AND DEPLOYMENT PROGRAM. Crossed with Texas place of performance, obligations sum to $3,312,616,455 on 1 award. The national BEAD hub includes other states. Texas’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $3,312,616,455 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of locations passed.

One award is a concentrated allocation pattern: BEAD state allocations often post as a single large assistance instrument to a state broadband office rather than thousands of last-mile contracts. The join does not name an ISP, list counties, or count unserved addresses. Packet facts stop at $3,312,616,455, 1 award, TX, and 11.035. Correlation is not causation. One BEAD instrument carrying the entire $3,312,616,455 cell is a state-allocation pattern, not one internet provider and not one completed fiber route named in the facts.

BEAD is not a universal-service or ACP row

The catalog title names Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program. Other connectivity catalogs are different rows and are not mixed into $3,312,616,455. Facts available: Texas, CFDA 11.035, $3,312,616,455, 1 award. Buildout maps, speed tests, and provider names are not in the facts.

With 1 award, the implied mean equals the cell total: $3,312,616,455. Unique recipients are unpublished. 1 is not a count of fiber routes or households.

Texas geography on the BEAD tag

TX is the place-of-performance code. A statewide BEAD award can still appear as a record tagged to Austin or another in-state address. Awards coded to Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, or another state stay outside $3,312,616,455. The code does not convert $3.31 billion into a county coverage map.

Texas federal spending is the all-program parent. 11.035 is one row on Texas programs. $3.31 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program in Texas for the filtered table, CFDA 11.035 for 11.035 without a Texas filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $3,312,616,455.

Reading 1 award of $3.31 billion

The entire $3,312,616,455 sits on 1 award. That is a state-allocation scale, not a typical last-mile construction contract. It is not a median because there is only one row. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 1 as a record count, not as 1 completed network. An Austin address on the 11.035 instrument does not convert $3,312,616,455 into a county coverage map or a list of unserved locations.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $3,312,616,455 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see whether the 1 row is an original award, a continuation, or a correction. Later ingests can restate $3,312,616,455 without changing the join key of 11.035 and TX.

What the BEAD–Texas pair does not prove

A large 11.035 total tagged to Texas does not measure how many homes are connected, and it does not equal invoices already paid to builders. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $3,312,616,455 on 1 award for the Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program in Texas.

Keep both sides of the join: BEAD and Texas, obligations only. Do not annualize $3,312,616,455 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 1 as a provider census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a broadband-coverage story.

Using the BEAD–Texas overlay

The overlay target is the Texas × CFDA 11.035 table. Open Broadband Equity, Access, And Deployment Program in Texas when you want the same $3,312,616,455 / 1-award cell in the site’s data chrome. CFDA 11.035 drops the Texas filter. Texas federal spending drops the CFDA filter. Texas programs lists other catalogs beside 11.035. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

This page exists because two tables meet: a CFDA program and a place-of-performance state. It does not exist to argue that Texas won or lost federal money, that donations paid for the awards, or that obligations equal cash. The pair is 11.035 plus TX. Obligations of $3,312,616,455 are not outlays.
