Federal Labor Relations Authority

Federal-sector labor law on an $6.0 million award book

FLRA’s public docket is federal-employee labor relations: ULP charges, representation questions, and related cases under the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute. None of those case counts are in this packet. $6,042,216.15 is what the Authority obligated on federal awards through FY2026—hearing support, IT, facilities, and other instruments tagged to CGAC 054. A year with more charges filed does not automatically raise this total. A systems contract can raise it in a quiet filing year.

Eighty-three awards against $6.0 million implies about $72,798 per award. That low mean on a modest count fits many small administrative instruments. The packet has no median. The National Labor Relations Board covers most private-sector NLRA work under a different CGAC and is not this $6.0 million.

What 83 awards omit

MSPB appeals, OSC investigations, and OPM personnel policy sit under other awarding-agency codes. Mixing those books with $6,042,216.15 would invent a combined “federal workplace” agency that USAspending does not publish. This page stays on CGAC 054.

Authority member and staff salaries generally never appear as awards. The $6.0 million understates FLRA’s full operating cost if a reader expected the award file to equal the appropriation. It is complete as an award ledger.

Questions

How much has the FLRA obligated on USAspending?

The Federal Labor Relations Authority shows $6,042,216.15 in obligations through FY2026 across 83 awards. Awarding-agency CGAC 054 is the filter. The total is not a count of federal-sector unfair-labor-practice charges. USAspending.gov records this as awarding-agency obligations through FY2026, not cash outlays. The live table for CGAC 054 is the source for the current 83-award book.

What is the average FLRA award?

Dividing $6,042,216.15 by 83 awards yields about $72,798. The packet has no median. Hearing support, IT, and other administrative instruments share the same mean. That figure uses only the packet totals. The extract has no median and no contract-versus-assistance split. FY2026 is the warehouse cutoff, not a single-year appropriation.

What is agency code 054?

054 is the USAspending awarding-agency CGAC identifier for the Federal Labor Relations Authority. SpendingVault uses it in /agencies/054/. NLRB, FMCS, and MSPB use different codes. SpendingVault URLs under the agency path filter to that CGAC identifier. It is an accounting tag, not a quality score. Totals on this page are obligations through FY2026.

Is FLRA the same as the NLRB in USAspending?

No. They are separate awarding agencies with separate CGACs. This page reports only FLRA’s $6,042,216.15 on 83 awards through FY2026. Outlays are unpublished in the packet. Outlays are unpublished in this packet, so this page does not estimate cash already paid. Refresh the agency page after USAspending updates rather than treating the current stock as frozen.
