FY2024 obligations in Maryland’s 2nd district

Reading MD-02’s $31.9 billion

The $31.9 billion figure is the obligation sum for awards whose USAspending place of performance is Maryland District 02 in fiscal year 2024. A commitment on an award record is not a Treasury disbursement. Maryland’s state budget is another book and is not this total. Maryland District 02’s $31.9 billion is the FY2024 obligation file for that mapped seat. It is not MD-03, not MD-04, not MD-05, and not MD-08. 7,659 awards are the matching count.

This packet covers FY2024 only. First year and last year are both 2024. Federal fiscal years start on October 1. Corrections posted later on USAspending.gov can change both the $31.9 billion total and the 7,659-award count. Federal FY2024 is the only year on this page. Adding another fiscal year to $31.9 billion invents a stack this packet does not include.

Performance district versus recipient address

MD-02 on SpendingVault is the place-of-performance congressional district from USAspending.gov. It is not a map of where prime contractors keep their headquarters. A Baltimore-area or surrounding performance site can appear even when the recipient’s legal address sits in another Maryland district, the District of Columbia, or another state. The 7,659 rows follow place of performance. A Baltimore-area headquarters can still miss this table if performance is coded to another district.

Code 02 is a numbered House district, not MD-03, MD-04, MD-05, or MD-08. Unspecified Maryland performance that never received a House number is stored under USAspending district 90; non-voting buckets use 98. Those residual bins are not this MD-02 page. MD-02 is a numbered House seat. Unspecified Maryland dollars belong on a 90/98 page, not inside this $31.9 billion mapped file.

What 7,659 awards does and does not mean

7,659 is the FY2024 award-record count for MD-02 place of performance. The extract can list modifications as separate rows. The packet does not identify unique recipients, NAICS mix, or awarding agencies.

Pair the count with $31.9 billion without dividing them. A per-award average would be an extra statistic this file does not carry. Use the district hub if you need to scan individual records rather than a derived mean.

7,659 rows can include modifications. The packet does not list unique recipients. The Maryland District 02 hub is the table. $31.9 billion remains the FY2024 obligation roll-up for MD-02.

Keeping obligations distinct from outlays

The $31.9 billion total is the obligation series. Outlays track Treasury disbursements and can land in different years than the original award action. SpendingVault’s MD-02 copy stays on obligations so the page does not silently switch series.

A news figure that calls District 02 “federal spending” may still be using outlays, calendar years, or recipient location. Match series, year, and geography before treating a disagreement as an error in the $31.9 billion index.

Cite MD-02 as FY2024 USAspending.gov place-of-performance obligations of $31.9 billion on 7,659 awards. Do not blend this total with Maryland’s other district hubs.

Maryland statewide and other districts

Maryland’s state hub is the statewide obligation view. MD-02 is one mapped place-of-performance district inside that state. Statewide Maryland is larger than District 02 by construction; this packet does not publish the statewide total.

The all-districts list uses the same USAspending place-of-performance rule. Compare MD-02 only on FY2024 obligations. This packet does not rank the 2nd district among Maryland’s other seats.

Maryland’s other mapped seats have their own pages. Statewide Maryland is another page. This packet does not quote those other sums. Use MD-02 only for the 2nd district file.

Keeping Maryland District 02 on its own hub

The $31.9 billion FY2024 obligation figure for MD-02 is an USAspending.gov file statistic. SpendingVault does not convert 7,659 awards into unique firms or cash paid, and it does not merge District 02 with District 03 or District 08.

If a comparison already uses recipient location or Treasury outlays, rebuild it before placing $31.9 billion beside those columns. The Maryland state hub and the all-districts index stay on obligations and place of performance. Maryland District 03, 04, 05, and 08 are other mapped hubs with their own FY2024 files. MD-02’s $31.9 billion and 7,659 awards stay on this page. Do not borrow those other district totals to explain the 2nd district, and do not recode this extract as outlays.

Questions

How much federal money is obligated in Maryland District 02?

USAspending.gov shows $31.9 billion in FY2024 obligations for place of performance in Maryland’s 2nd district. That is not an outlay figure and not Maryland’s state budget. 7,659 awards are counted in the same FY2024 extract. First year and last year are both 2024.

Is MD-02 based on where the recipient company is based?

No. The district is USAspending place of performance. Headquarters in another Maryland district, or outside Maryland, can still appear here if the performance location is coded MD-02. A MD-02 legal address does not force every dollar onto this hub. Cite Maryland District 02 as FY2024 place-of-performance obligations, not as outlays and not as a merge with Maryland’s other district hubs.

Are District 02’s $31.9 billion outlays?

No. $31.9 billion is an obligation total from FY2024 award records. Outlays are cash leaving the Treasury. SpendingVault does not recast the MD-02 obligation sum as outlays. Keep the obligation label and the FY2024 year when the figure is reused.

How many awards are coded to Maryland’s 2nd district?

7,659 awards appear for MD-02 place of performance in FY2024. The number is a record count, including modifications, not a unique-recipient census. This packet does not divide $31.9 billion by 7,659 awards. Cite Maryland District 02 as FY2024 place-of-performance obligations, not as outlays and not as a merge with Maryland’s other district hubs.
