USAspending.gov records $9,140,799,794.34 in Department of Homeland Security obligations under awarding agency 070 with place of performance in Maryland, across 3,834 awards. Maryland’s DHS cell is a mid-file case in this slice: 3,834 awards against a $9.14 billion obligation sum. That arithmetic sits between thin Energy-style books and the thickest USDA action files. The pair is Department of Homeland Security and Maryland — not Maryland’s entire federal inflow and not cash already paid. Average obligation is about $2.38 million ($9,140,799,794.34 ÷ 3,834).

What the DHS–Maryland join is
Awarding agency 070 and place-of-performance state MD meet here. $9,140,799,794.34 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Homeland Security’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Maryland, and not an outlay register. Homeland-security, disaster, and related instruments can all sit under awarding agency 070. The packet does not split FEMA, CBP, TSA, or other DHS components. 3,834 is a mid-size action file: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished.
Dividing $9,140,799,794.34 by 3,834 yields about $2.38 million per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line, and it is not a disaster-declaration list, not a border-crossing count, and not a threat ranking. A second DHS slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Maryland’s 070 cell as a synonym for every DHS account.
Open Department of Homeland Security in Maryland for the live filtered table, Maryland federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Homeland Security for agency 070 without a Maryland filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $9,140,799,794.34.
Awarding agency 070 as the DHS side
USAspending labels awarding agency 070 as Department of Homeland Security. That code produced $9,140,799,794.34 when crossed with Maryland place of performance. The agency-wide 070 hub does not require MD geography. The Maryland hub does not require DHS. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 3,834 awards.
This page reports homeland-security awarding activity that USAspending coded to Maryland. Correlation is not causation: Maryland did not “cause” $9,140,799,794.34 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 070 × MD only. Homeland-security, disaster, and related instruments can all sit under awarding agency 070. The packet does not split FEMA, CBP, TSA, or other DHS components.

Questions
- How much DHS spending is coded to Maryland?
