FY2024 USAspending totals for Maryland’s 5th district

Federal award files on USAspending.gov show $35.9 billion in FY2024 obligations whose place of performance is Maryland’s 5th congressional district. SpendingVault treats that sum as obligations, not outlays. 13,952 awards share the MD-05 performance tag. The Maryland District 05 hub is a different mapped seat from Maryland’s 8th district. Maryland District 05 is not MD-02, MD-03, MD-04, or MD-08. Keep $35.9 billion and 13,952 awards on the 5th district’s FY2024 place-of-performance obligation hub.

Key figures

  • FY2024 place-of-performance obligations in Maryland District 05 total $35.9 billion.
  • The extract counts 13,952 awards for MD-05.
  • District coding is performance location, not headquarters.
  • MD-05 is a mapped House district, not a 90/98 unspecified bucket.
  • Cite $35.9 billion as obligations, not outlays.

The $35.9 billion FY2024 commitment total

$35.9 billion is the obligation aggregate USAspending.gov attaches to Maryland District 05 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 $35.9 billion as outlays. Maryland District 05’s $35.9 billion is the FY2024 obligation roll-up for that mapped seat. It is not MD-08, not MD-04, and not a 90 bucket. 13,952 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 $35.9 billion and the 13,952-award count. Cite the current index with the FY2024 label. Federal FY2024 is the only year on this page. Adding another fiscal year to $35.9 billion invents a stack this packet does not include.

MD-05 geography in the award file

Congressional district on this hub is place of performance, not the recipient’s headquarters city. A southern Maryland or adjacent 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-05 headquarters does not pull every dollar onto this page. The 13,952 rows follow place of performance. A southern Maryland headquarters can still miss this table if performance is coded to another district.

District 05 is a numbered House seat, distinct from MD-08 and from Maryland’s unspecified 90 bucket. Maryland rows that USAspending left unspecified sit in district 90; non-voting codes use 98. Those buckets are not hidden inside MD-05. MD-05 is a numbered House seat. Unspecified Maryland dollars belong on a 90/98 page, not inside this $35.9 billion mapped file.

13,952 awards as a record count

13,952 awards is the FY2024 row count for MD-05 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 $35.9 billion and 13,952 awards as two facts. Dividing them would invent a typical award size this file does not contain. Use the Maryland District 05 hub to inspect individual records without deriving a mean.

13,952 rows can include modifications. The packet does not list unique recipients. The Maryland District 05 hub is the table. $35.9 billion remains the FY2024 obligation roll-up for MD-05.

Why the obligation label stays on the page

USAspending.gov publishes obligations and outlays separately. MD-05’s $35.9 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 $35.9 billion, check series, year, and geography before assuming the district hub is missing rows.

Cite MD-05 as FY2024 USAspending.gov place-of-performance obligations of $35.9 billion on 13,952 awards. Do not blend this total with Maryland’s other district hubs or with an outlay series.

Maryland statewide versus District 05

The Maryland state page is the statewide obligation view. MD-05 is one mapped place-of-performance district inside that state. Statewide Maryland includes other numbered seats — including District 08 — 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-05 only on FY2024 obligations and place of performance. This packet does not rank the 5th 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-05 only for the 5th district file.

Keeping Maryland District 05 on one geography

The $35.9 billion FY2024 obligation total for MD-05 is an indexed USAspending.gov statistic. SpendingVault does not convert 13,952 awards into unique firms or cash paid, and it does not merge District 05 with District 08.

Align any Maryland comparison to place of performance, federal FY2024, and obligations before placing $35.9 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 05?
USAspending.gov records $35.9 billion in FY2024 obligations with place of performance in Maryland’s 5th district. That is not an outlay total and not Maryland’s state budget. The matching award count is 13,952 for FY2024. The packet year range is FY2024 only.
Does MD-05 mean the recipient company is based in the 5th district?
No. USAspending codes the district by place of performance. Recipients headquartered outside MD-05 can still appear if the performance location is the 5th district. A MD-05 headquarters can also map dollars to other districts when performance is coded there. Cite Maryland District 05 as FY2024 place-of-performance obligations, not as outlays and not as a merge with Maryland’s other district hubs.
Is the $35.9 billion for Maryland District 05 cash paid?
No. $35.9 billion is an obligation aggregate from FY2024 award files. Outlays are a separate series. SpendingVault does not convert MD-05 obligations into Treasury outlays. Keep the obligation word when the figure is reused. Cite Maryland District 05 as FY2024 place-of-performance obligations, not as outlays and not as a merge with Maryland’s other district hubs.
How many awards are tagged to Maryland’s 5th district?
13,952 awards are counted for MD-05 place of performance in FY2024. That is a record count, including modifications, not a unique-vendor list. This packet does not invent a typical award from $35.9 billion and 13,952 rows. Cite Maryland District 05 as FY2024 place-of-performance obligations, not as outlays and not as a merge with Maryland’s other district hubs.

Congressional district is USAspending place-of-performance, not the recipient HQ. District 90/98 are USAspending unspecified/non-voting buckets.
