Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Health & Human Services discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Health & Human Services's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Provides the primary federal funding to help low-income families afford child care and to improve child care quality, supporting parental employment, training, and education and promoting parental choice.
Extracted from Administration for Children, Families, and Communities, p. 9. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
Contracts funded by this line
32 linked contracts. These are obligations — lifetime awarded money — and they are not comparable to the request above and are never added to it. No total is shown: an award linked to several lines is counted in full on each, so the sum would not be a fact.

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.
