Commercial And Institutional Building Construction federal obligations in Maryland

USAspending.gov records $3,116,997,887 in Commercial And Institutional Building Construction (NAICS 236220) obligations with Maryland place of performance, across 3,144 awards. That pair is an industry code crossed with a geography filter, not a national construction budget. Average obligation per award is about $991,412 — a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical federal-building contract.

Key figures

  • NAICS 236220 in Maryland: $3,116,997,887 across 3,144 awards.
  • Average obligation per award is about $991,412.
  • The total is obligations, not outlays, and not nationwide Building construction.
  • MD is place of performance, not a suburb-only split.

What NAICS 236220 and Maryland share on one row

NAICS 236220 and place-of-performance state MD meet here. $3,116,997,887 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in Maryland, not the nationwide Commercial And Institutional Building Construction total, and not cash already paid. Federal-campus and statewide institutional-construction folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not a jobsite list and not a square-footage census.

3,144 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — thousands of award actions behind a multi-billion obligation total. Thousands of rows can mix large campus awards with smaller instruments. The join does not rank Maryland against other states and does not name jobsites inside the extract.

Open Maryland federal spending for the filtered table, NAICS 236220 for the next hub, Maryland industries for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

Building-construction actions under a Maryland geography tag

Dividing $3,116,997,887 by 3,144 yields about $991,412 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical federal-building contract. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows; the listed count is not a unique-contractor census. Project names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars.

Federal-campus and statewide institutional-construction folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Recipient rows live on the industry and state hubs, not in this narrative’s extra columns.

NAICS 236220 without a Maryland overlay is a different total

The NAICS 236220 page aggregates NAICS 236220 without requiring MD geography. The Maryland federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with Maryland place of performance. Maryland industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 236220 filter and the MD filter, which is why it cites 3,144 awards and $3,116,997,887.

Place of performance in Maryland is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list MD while later work occurs in Virginia or D.C. 236220 awards coded to those jurisdictions do not sit in this total even if the contractor’s mailroom is in Bethesda. This packet does not split the D.C. suburbs from Baltimore or Aberdeen.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $3,116,997,887 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as money already spent in Maryland over-reads the field.

Award count 3,144 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Maryland federal spending, NAICS 236220, and Maryland industries. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug.

What this pair does not prove

A large 236220 total in Maryland does not mean builders caused Maryland’s construction mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between federal campuses and building awards is expected; it is not a finding about cost overruns or waste.

Keep $3,116,997,887 labeled as NAICS 236220 obligations with Maryland place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. An industry name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending.

How to cite the Maryland–236220 pair

A clean footnote names NAICS 236220 (Commercial And Institutional Building Construction), Maryland place of performance, $3,116,997,887 in obligations, and 3,144 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $3,116,997,887 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $991,412 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical federal-building contract.

Maryland federal spending, NAICS 236220, Maryland industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $3,116,997,887 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Baltimore-versus-D.C.-suburb folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Jobsite names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Keep the obligation label in every reuse. Correlation is not causation.

Do not treat a thousands of award actions behind a multi-billion obligation total as a unique-firm census. Unique recipients are not published here. Keep NAICS 236220 and MD as the join key even if a later USAspending ingest restates $3,116,997,887. Those stories are not a jobsite list and not a square-footage census.
