Computer Systems Design Services in Maryland 4th District (MD-04)

The two-key cell: computer systems design services in MD-04

Congressional district MD-04 and NAICS 541512 meet here. $4,022,955,350.29 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Computer Systems Design Services's nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Maryland 4th District (MD-04), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split custom programming versus integration, or contract versus assistance. 307 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a systems-integrator headcount, a software catalog, or a named-vendor file.

Dividing $4,022,955,350.29 by 307 yields about $13,104,089.09 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 307 awards is a moderate design file, thicker than Kansas 2nd's 34-row 541512 cell. Do not treat MD-04's 541512 cell as a synonym for every Systems Design account nationwide. Open /districts/MD-04/ (Maryland 4th District) for the district table without this NAICS filter, /industries/541512/ (NAICS 541512) for NAICS 541512 without a MD-04 filter, /states/md/ (Maryland federal spending) for every industry in the Maryland extract, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $4,022,955,350.29.

This page reports computer systems design services activity USAspending tagged to Maryland 4th District (MD-04). The headline $4,022,955,350.29 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $30,227,601,567.39; the 13.3% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of Maryland districts as winners or losers. District 90 and 98 placeholders are omitted from this harvest. Obligations are not outlays. Systems design is not residual computer services 541519. That residual lives on the MD-08 541519 tie, not here.

Systems Design is the industry key, not a program name

USAspending labels NAICS 541512 as Computer Systems Design Services. That code produced $4,022,955,350.29 when crossed with Maryland 4th District (MD-04) place of performance. The industry-wide 541512 hub does not require MD-04 geography. The district hub does not require Systems Design. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 307 awards. The packet does not split custom programming versus integration, or contract versus assistance.

Why Maryland 4th District (MD-04) is not Maryland statewide Systems Design

Maryland 4th District (MD-04) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list MD-04 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Maryland districts belong on those ties even when the industry is also NAICS 541512. Maryland 4th District (MD-04) is not Maryland 8th, 3rd, 5th, or 6th. Same state, different place-of-performance stamps.

Deobligations can still move the cell

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $4,022,955,350.29 is that kind of sum for Computer Systems Design Services inside MD-04 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same NAICS rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $4,022,955,350.29 as given.

Maryland's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 307-row Systems Design cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 307 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($13,104,089.09) is a concentration statistic, not a typical MD-04 Systems Design payment.

/ties/ is an index, not an addend

Cite USAspending.gov: Computer Systems Design Services (NAICS 541512) obligated $4,022,955,350.29 on 307 awards coded to Maryland 4th District (MD-04). Name Computer Systems Design Services and Maryland 4th District (MD-04) together. Keep the obligation word. If /districts/MD-04/ or /industries/541512/ has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a systems-integrator headcount, a software catalog, or a named-vendor file. 13.3% of $30,227,601,567.39 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

How not to reuse $4,022,955,350.29

307 awards is a moderate design file, thicker than Kansas 2nd's 34-row 541512 cell. Do not add MD-04 and MD-08 systems-design dollars. Those are two joins. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $13,104,089.09) and the district share (13.3% of $30,227,601,567.39) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer /districts/MD-04/ and /industries/541512/ if the live tables moved. Systems design is not residual computer services 541519. That residual lives on the MD-08 541519 tie, not here.

Questions

How much Systems Design spending is coded to Maryland 4th District (MD-04)?

USAspending.gov lists $4,022,955,350.29 in Computer Systems Design Services obligations across 307 awards with place of performance in Maryland 4th District (MD-04). NAICS 541512 × MD-04 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Maryland's complete federal ledger. The cell is 13.3% of the district's published total ($30,227,601,567.39). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $13,104,089.09, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $4,022,955,350.29 include every Systems Design program in MD-04?

The packet publishes one NAICS rollup. The packet does not split custom programming versus integration, or contract versus assistance. $4,022,955,350.29 is the combined obligation sum for NAICS 541512 inside MD-04 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open /industries/541512/ and /districts/MD-04/ to inspect parent tables. 307 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $4,022,955,350.29 cash already paid in Maryland 4th District (MD-04)?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet's headline. Treating $4,022,955,350.29 as checks already cleared in Maryland 4th District (MD-04) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 307 awards. Prefer the live district and industry hubs if the tables moved.

Is $4,022,955,350.29 the nationwide Systems Design total?

No. $4,022,955,350.29 is the MD-04 place-of-performance slice of NAICS 541512 only. Nationwide Systems Design lives on /industries/541512/ without this district filter. 307 awards and 13.3% of $30,227,601,567.39 describe this join. Outlays are unpublished. Source is USAspending.gov. USAspending.gov remains the source for NAICS 541512 in MD-04.
