BEAD Final Proposal Data

These datasets were compiled using public comment draft or submitted-to-NTIA versions of data from states’ and territories’ BEAD Final Proposals. When submitted versions were available, these were used instead of draft versions. Data was available for the following states:

As many states did not properly follow NTIA’s standardized format, aggregation involved significant data cleaning and several judgement calls. As such, these aggregated files are not intended to be authoritative or a substitute for working directly with original data obtained from a given state broadband office.

More information on our process to compile these datasets is available in our blog post here.

Data Files

The following files represent the most recent data available as of October 23, 2025.

  • SUBGRANTEE_CLEAN.parquet Based on fp_subgrantees.csv listing out all subgrantees (i.e., ISPs) who are to receive funding.
  • PROJECT_CLEAN.parquet Based on fp_deployment_projects.csv listing out all projects which will receive funding.
  • LOCATION_CLEAN.parquet Based on fp_locations.csv listing out all BSLs which are included in a funded project.
  • NO_BEAD_CLEAN.parquet Based on fp_no_bead_locations.csv listing out all BSLs from a state’s post-challenge eligible location list which will be intentionally excluded from funding, and why.
  • We have not prepared a compiled version of states’ fp_cai.csv data.

Files are provided in the Apache Parquet format, which is supported by a variety of data processing libraries and platforms. Columns in each dataset are intended to follow the schema of NTIA’s format for Final Proposal CSV files, with the addition of a state column to the LOCATION and NO_BEAD files.
