Department of Energy in Maryland

A thin Energy file on a Maryland tag

Department of Energy as awarding agency, Maryland as place-of-performance: 411 records summing to $2,124,477,725.25. A Department of Energy award coded outside MD is out. An award in Maryland from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Maryland (MD) excludes Virginia, District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and West Virginia. A Reston-coded award is VA even if a Germantown office later invoices it. NNSA, science labs, and other Energy components are unpublished splits inside awarding agency 089.

Four hundred eleven awards against $2,124,477,725.25 is a thin, high-mean Energy file. A handful of vehicles can dominate the dollar total. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 411 as 411 unique named labs, unique contractors, or megawatt capacity. The overlay Department of Energy in Maryland is the both-keys table. Maryland federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Energy is the agency book without an MD filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Germantown, Baltimore, and the I-270 corridor are unpublished. Assigning $2,124,477,725.25 to a named lab is a new extract. Correlation is not causation: Maryland did not “cause” $2,124,477,725.25 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 089 × MD only.

Not a Germantown campus or lab roster

$2,124,477,725.25 does not measure named labs, unique contractors, or megawatt capacity. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 089 and an MD place-of-performance tag. NNSA, science labs, and other Energy components are unpublished splits inside awarding agency 089.

Do not treat 411 awards as a census of named labs, unique contractors, or megawatt capacity. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Maryland federal spending or Department of Energy matched $2,124,477,725.25 and 411, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Virginia, Pennsylvania, and District of Columbia Energy joins are other pairs, not addends.
