Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency

A District supervision agency in a federal award file

CSOSA is a federal agency whose work is geographically concentrated in Washington, D.C. $155,638,459.61 through FY2026 is the USAspending awarding-agency total for CGAC 9553, not the number of people under supervision and not the D.C. Superior Court’s docket. Drug testing, electronic monitoring, facilities, and information-technology contracts can all sit among the 312 awards if they entered the warehouse as federal awards.

Three hundred twelve awards against $155.6 million implies about $498,841 per award. That mid-to-high mean fits a supervision agency that buys operational support rather than issuing thousands of tiny grants. The packet has no median and no split between treatment contracts and office support.

What 312 awards omit

Community supervision is labor-intensive. Community supervision officers’ salaries generally never appear as USAspending awards. The $155,638,459.61 therefore understates CSOSA’s full operating cost if a reader expected the award file to equal the agency budget. It is complete as an award ledger; it is incomplete as a budget encyclopedia.

Recidivism rates, drug-test positivity, and housing outcomes are performance statistics CSOSA publishes elsewhere. They are not columns in this extract. Mixing them with obligation dollars would treat a vendor invoice as if it were a public-safety outcome.

Questions

How much has CSOSA obligated on USAspending?

The Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency shows $155,638,459.61 in obligations through FY2026 across 312 awards. Awarding-agency CGAC 9553 is the filter. The total is not a count of people under supervision in the District of Columbia. USAspending.gov records this as awarding-agency obligations through FY2026, not cash outlays. The live table for CGAC 9553 is the source for the current 312-award book.

What is the average CSOSA award?

Dividing $155,638,459.61 by 312 awards yields about $498,841. The packet has no median. Operational support contracts can sit beside smaller purchase orders in 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 9553?

9553 is the USAspending awarding-agency CGAC identifier for CSOSA. SpendingVault uses it in /agencies/9553/. District of Columbia Courts and other justice agencies 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.

Does $155.6 million include officer salaries?

Generally no. Federal employee pay usually never appears as USAspending awards. The 312-award total is the award ledger through FY2026, not CSOSA’s full operating budget. Outlays are unpublished in this 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.
