Smithsonian Institution in Maryland

Smithsonian awards tagged to Maryland

Smithsonian Institution as awarding agency, Maryland as place-of-performance: 420 records summing to $236,232,365.11. A Smithsonian Institution 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, the District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and West Virginia. A District of Columbia-coded award is DC even if collections sit in Maryland.

Four hundred twenty awards against $236,232,365.11 is a thicker Smithsonian file than a thin SEC cell, still a record count rather than unique vendors. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 420 as 420 unique museum visits, unique collections, or named support centers. Smithsonian Institution in Maryland is the both-keys table. Maryland federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Smithsonian Institution is the agency book without an MD filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Visitor counts are a different series

$236,232,365.11 does not measure museum visits, unique collections, or named support centers. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 3300 and an MD place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 420 awards as a census of museum visits, unique collections, or named support centers. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Maryland federal spending or Smithsonian Institution matched $236,232,365.11 and 420, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Virginia, District of Columbia, and Pennsylvania Smithsonian joins are other pairs, not addends.
