BEAD Money Tracker

Last verified: 19 September 2026. Where the US$42.45bn BEAD programme's money is going — one row per subaward, each with its source. This is a structured, citable feed, not a headline count: every row carries a named source you can check.

Dataset release 2026.09.19.1 — schema v1.0.0, 17 rows, Texas only, US$1,067,572,760 across 208,873 locations promised. Machine-readable copies: CSV · JSON · release notes.

Texas — final subgrantee awards

Seventeen provider-level final BEAD subgrantee agreements, announced by the Texas Broadband Development Office around 3 June 2026 and reported on 4 June 2026. Verification: press report. The Texas BDO has not published an official final award list or a county breakdown, so these rows are not presented as an official record — each is transcribed from a trade-press report that quotes the BDO, with that report linked per row. Rows older than 90 days without re-verification are retired from the published feed.

Note: in August 2026 the Texas Comptroller paused all BEAD disbursements pending an audit (reported by Fierce Network). The awards below remain awarded; disbursement timing may change.

Amounts are awards as published, not money disbursed. County-level splits have not been published for Texas, so rows are provider-level. Subgrantee names are copied exactly as published.

Coverage and what’s next

California: NTIA approved the final proposal on 17 July 2026; the CPUC ratification vote was scheduled for 17 September 2026 — no final award list published yet. Florida: NTIA approved the final proposal, but FloridaCommerce still calls the winners “provisional” (June 2026 documents) — no final award list yet. Both states are on the watch list; rows land here as soon as verifiable lists publish. The plan is to expand toward the top-10 BEAD-allocation states over the coming weeks.

Disputed, paused, or restated awards keep their row and their history — restatements get a new row linked from the old one, never a silent edit. Spotted something wrong or missing?
