National School Lunch Program in Massachusetts

The 10.555–Massachusetts join

CFDA 10.555 is titled NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM. Crossed with Massachusetts place of performance, obligations sum to $2,747,434,363.05 on 11 awards. The national National School Lunch Program hub includes other states. Massachusetts’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $2,747,434,363.05 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a city school-department list or a meal census.

11 awards is the smallest NSLP row count in this slice, which raises the implied mean to about $249.77 million per award. That mean is a state-agency scale, not a typical per-meal reimbursement. The join does not name recipients, list contractors, or invent donor names. Packet facts stop at $2,747,434,363.05, 11 awards, MA, and 10.555. Correlation is not causation. Eleven NSLP instruments carrying $2,747,434,363.05 is the smallest lunch row count in this slice, which lifts the implied mean without proving higher reimbursement rates.

NSLP is not a higher-education catalog

The catalog title names National School Lunch Program. It is not SNAP, WIC, or Pell (those are different catalogs). Mixing other catalogs into $2,747,434,363.05 would invent a broader total than this cell contains. Facts available: Massachusetts, CFDA 10.555, $2,747,434,363.05, 11 awards. Recipient names, invoices, and caseload counts are not in the facts.

Dividing $2,747,434,363.05 by 11 yields about $249.77 million per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 11 is a USAspending award-record count, not a person, school, clinic, or contractor census.

Massachusetts geography on the lunch tag

MA is the place-of-performance code. Awards coded to New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, or New York stay outside $2,747,434,363.05 even when a student later moves. A statewide lunch award can still appear as records tagged to Boston or another in-state address. The code does not convert $2,747,434,363.05 into a county map or a ranking of places as winners or losers.

Massachusetts federal spending is the all-program parent. 10.555 is one row on Massachusetts programs. $2,747,434,363.05 is not the state’s complete federal footprint.

Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 11 as a record count. Universal-meals policies are not in the facts; $2,747,434,363.05 remains an obligation aggregate tagged to Massachusetts.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $2,747,434,363.05 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 11 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $2,747,434,363.05 without changing the join key of 10.555 and MA.

What NSLP in Massachusetts does not show

A 10.555 total tagged to Massachusetts does not measure program quality, and it does not equal cash already paid. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $2,747,434,363.05 on 11 awards for National School Lunch Program in Massachusetts.

Do not treat 11 as a person or contractor census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a policy story.
