FY2024 USAspending totals for Maryland’s 3rd district

The $31.4 billion FY2024 commitment total

$31.4 billion is the obligation aggregate USAspending.gov attaches to Maryland District 03 for fiscal year 2024. An obligation is a legal commitment on an award record. It is not cash that has already left the Treasury, and it is not Maryland’s state appropriation total. This page does not recode $31.4 billion as outlays. Maryland District 03’s $31.4 billion is the FY2024 obligation file for that mapped seat. It is not MD-02, not MD-04, not MD-05, and not MD-08. 12,416 awards are the matching count.

The packet’s first year and last year are both 2024, so the figure is a single-year total. Federal fiscal years begin on October 1. A later USAspending.gov refresh can move both $31.4 billion and the 12,416-award count. Cite the current index with the FY2024 label. Do not add another fiscal year to $31.4 billion. First year and last year are both 2024. Keep 12,416 awards in that window.

MD-03 geography in the award file

Congressional district on this hub is place of performance, not the recipient’s headquarters city. A central Maryland performance location can appear even when the contractor’s legal address sits in another Maryland district, the District of Columbia, Virginia, or farther away. The reverse also holds: a MD-03 headquarters does not pull every dollar onto this page. The 12,416 rows follow place of performance. A central Maryland headquarters can still miss MD-03 if the work is coded elsewhere.

District 03 is a numbered House seat. Maryland rows that USAspending left unspecified sit in district 90; non-voting codes use 98. Those buckets are not hidden inside MD-03. This table is only the mapped 3rd district. MD-03 is a numbered House seat. Unspecified Maryland dollars belong on a 90/98 page, not inside this $31.4 billion mapped total.

12,416 awards as a record count

12,416 awards is the FY2024 row count for MD-03 place of performance. Modifications, assistance actions, and related award lines in the source can each increment the total. The packet does not publish a unique-recipient census or an agency mix.

Keep $31.4 billion and 12,416 awards as two facts. Dividing them would invent a typical award size this file does not contain. Use the Maryland District 03 hub to inspect individual records without deriving a mean.

12,416 rows can include modifications. The packet does not list unique recipients. The Maryland District 03 hub is the table. $31.4 billion remains the FY2024 obligation roll-up for MD-03.

Why the obligation label stays on the page

USAspending.gov publishes obligations and outlays separately. MD-03’s $31.4 billion is the obligation series for FY2024. Outlays can trail those commitments or post in a different fiscal year. Calling the district total “money already spent” would switch series.

State budget documents, Treasury payment tables, and recipient-location maps are other products. If they disagree with $31.4 billion, check series, year, and geography before assuming the district hub is missing rows.

Cite MD-03 as FY2024 USAspending.gov place-of-performance obligations of $31.4 billion on 12,416 awards. Do not blend this total with Maryland’s other district hubs or with an outlay series.

Maryland statewide versus District 03

The Maryland state page is the statewide obligation view. MD-03 is one mapped place-of-performance district inside that state. Statewide Maryland includes other numbered seats and any unspecified buckets; this packet does not quote the statewide sum.

The all-districts index lists other Maryland seats in the same format. Compare MD-03 only on FY2024 obligations and place of performance. This packet does not rank the 3rd district against 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-03 only for the 3rd district file.

Keeping Maryland District 03 on one geography

The $31.4 billion FY2024 obligation total for MD-03 is an indexed USAspending.gov statistic. SpendingVault does not convert 12,416 awards into unique firms or cash paid, and it does not merge District 03 with District 02 or District 04.

Align any Maryland comparison to place of performance, federal FY2024, and obligations before placing $31.4 billion next to another district column. The Maryland state hub and the all-districts index use the same series rules.

Questions

How much federal money is obligated in Maryland District 03?
