Computer systems design services federal obligations in Maryland (NAICS 541512)

What the 541512–Maryland join is

NAICS 541512 and geography MD meet here. $912,473,364.70 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the nationwide systems-design book, not Maryland’s entire federal inflow, and not an outlay. Custom programming (541511) and other computer services (541519) are sibling codes.

2,080 awards is a thick Beltway-adjacent row set beside $912,473,364.70. Thick IT books often mix task orders with larger design vehicles. Treating 2,080 as “2,080 Maryland engineers” would misread award records as people. The packet does not name a civilian agency or a cleared campus inside the extract.

Open Maryland federal spending for every industry tagged to the state, NAICS 541512 for 541512 without a Maryland filter, Maryland industries for other Maryland NAICS pairs, and All spending ties for joins outside this systems-design cell. Do not add those parents into $912,473,364.70.

A design book that is not 541511

Dividing $912,473,364.70 by 2,080 awards yields about $438,689 per award. That mean is a ratio, not a typical Bethesda design order and not a typical Fort Meade-adjacent line. Unique recipients are unpublished. 2,080 is not a badge count.

Maryland geography invites a National Capital Region story. This extract does not split Montgomery, Prince George’s, or Anne Arundel counties. All share MD inside $912,473,364.70. District of Columbia 541512, if it exists as a separate cell, is not this total.

Nationwide 541512 without a Maryland overlay is a different total

The national industry hub aggregates 541512 across every state. Maryland’s statewide hub aggregates every NAICS with an MD tag. Only awards that carry both 541512 and Maryland place of performance belong here, which is why this page cites 2,080 awards and $912,473,364.70.

Place of performance can follow a payee address, in-state work, or a reporting convention. 541512 awards coded to Virginia or the District of Columbia do not enter this sum even if a vendor’s mailroom sits in Rockville. The join cannot re-allocate dollars along a Beltway IT chain.

Obligations, not outlays, on the Maryland 541512 cell

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $912,473,364.70 is the former. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing the figure as design invoices already cleared in Maryland over-reads the field. 2,080 remains an award-record count, not a payment count.

What the Maryland–541512 pair does not prove

A large systems-design total in Maryland does not mean the code caused the state’s contractor mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation is not causation. Clearance levels and agency programs are not USAspending columns here.

Keep $912,473,364.70 labeled as NAICS 541512 obligations with Maryland place of performance. Maryland federal spending still includes 541511 and 541519 rows that must not be folded into this design cell. NAICS 541512 is 541512 without the Maryland filter. Maryland industries lists sibling Maryland codes.

How to cite systems design in Maryland

A clean footnote names NAICS 541512 (computer systems design services), Maryland place of performance, $912,473,364.70 in obligations, and 2,080 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Mean dollars per action remain about $438,689. Do not merge custom programming into this design bucket. All spending ties indexes other pairs. A later ingest can restate $912,473,364.70 without changing the join of 541512 and MD.

Custom-programming and residual-computer NAICS are not this systems-design cell. Maryland federal spending still mixes every Maryland industry; do not quote that parent as 541512. NAICS 541512 is the national design code without the Maryland tag. Maryland industries keeps sibling Maryland IT codes unmerged. 2,080 is a record count, including modifications, not a unique-vendor census. Keep the obligation label on $912,473,364.70 in every reuse. Correlation is not causation. Readers who reuse Maryland NAICS 541512 | USAspending $912.5M should keep both sides of the join in the same sentence, cite USAspending.gov as the source, and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. The live hubs linked from this page can refresh the snapshot; this narrative does not invent a fiscal year, a recipient list, or an outlay total that the packet omitted. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside the named state.
