Computer Systems Design (NAICS 541512) in Maryland 5th District (MD-05)
Place-of-performance MD-05 crossed with Computer Systems Design Services (NAICS 541512) yields $3,452,422,405.29 in USAspending.gov obligations on 241 awards. Two hundred forty-one systems-design awards equal about ten percent of Maryland 5th District's district obligation total — a moderate IT-services cell, not a software-license inventory. That pair is Computer Systems Design Services and Maryland 5th District (MD-05) — not Maryland's entire federal inflow, not Computer Systems Design Services nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 9.6% of this district's published obligation total ($35,870,410,814.20). Implied average obligation is about $14,325,404.17 ($3,452,422,405.29 ÷ 241). Correlation is not causation.

The Maryland 5th District (MD-05) filter on Computer Systems Design
NAICS 541512 and congressional district MD-05 meet here. $3,452,422,405.29 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the nationwide Computer Systems Design Services total, not every federal dollar coded to Maryland 5th District (MD-05), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split custom programming from other 541512 design work, and it does not split contract versus assistance. 241 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a software-license inventory, a named-integrator roster, or an IT-helpdesk census.
Dividing $3,452,422,405.29 by 241 yields about $14,325,404.17 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 241 awards is a moderate systems-design file. Integrator names and contract vehicles are unpublished. Modifications add rows. Do not treat MD-05's 541512 cell as a synonym for every Computer Systems Design account nationwide. Open Maryland 5th District for the district table without this industry filter, NAICS 541512 for NAICS 541512 without a MD-05 filter, Maryland federal spending for every industry in the Maryland extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $3,452,422,405.29.
The Computer Systems Design Services industry rollup
USAspending labels industry 541512 as Computer Systems Design Services. That code produced $3,452,422,405.29 when crossed with Maryland 5th District (MD-05) place of performance. The industry-wide 541512 hub does not require MD-05 geography. The district hub does not require Computer Systems Design. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 241 awards. The packet does not split custom programming from other 541512 design work, and it does not split contract versus assistance.
Correlation is not causation: Maryland 5th District (MD-05) did not cause $3,452,422,405.29 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 541512 × MD-05 only. This cell is not a software-license inventory, a named-integrator roster, or an IT-helpdesk census. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.
Reading the MD-05 stamp
Maryland 5th District (MD-05) 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-05 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Maryland districts belong on those ties even when the industry is also 541512. Maryland 5th District (MD-05) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Maryland. Other Maryland districts are separate joins even when they reuse NAICS 541512. Maryland 5th District (MD-05) is a numbered place-of-performance geography inside Maryland. Neighboring Maryland R&D districts in this harvest use 541710 or 541712, not 541512.
Maryland federal spending shows how NAICS 541512 sits beside other industries in the same state extract. $3,452,422,405.29 is one district-industry column, not the state table. This packet does not split Maryland 5th District (MD-05) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different NAICS stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Computer Systems Design Services. The district-wide obligation total published here is $35,870,410,814.20; $3,452,422,405.29 is the Computer Systems Design slice of that denominator.
USAspending obligations on this pair
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $3,452,422,405.29 is that kind of sum for Computer Systems Design Services inside MD-05 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 industry rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $3,452,422,405.29 as given.
Maryland's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 241-row Computer Systems Design cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 241 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 ($14,325,404.17) is a concentration statistic, not a typical MD-05 Computer Systems Design payment.
Citing $3,452,422,405.29 without dropping a join side
Cite USAspending.gov: Computer Systems Design Services (NAICS 541512) obligated $3,452,422,405.29 on 241 awards coded to Maryland 5th District (MD-05). Name Computer Systems Design Services and Maryland 5th District (MD-05) together. Keep the obligation word. If Maryland 5th District or NAICS 541512 has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a software-license inventory, a named-integrator roster, or an IT-helpdesk census. 9.6% of $35,870,410,814.20 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Row count versus dollar concentration
241 awards is a moderate systems-design file. Integrator names and contract vehicles are unpublished. Modifications add rows. Do not recode 541512 as 541511 custom programming or 541519 other computer-related services. Those codes are other joins if they exist. A large row count makes a product 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 $14,325,404.17) and the district share (9.6% of $35,870,410,814.20) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Maryland 5th District and NAICS 541512 if the live tables moved.
Questions
- How much Computer Systems Design spending is coded to Maryland 5th District (MD-05)?
- USAspending.gov lists $3,452,422,405.29 in Computer Systems Design Services obligations across 241 awards with place of performance in Maryland 5th District (MD-05). NAICS 541512 × MD-05 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Maryland's complete federal ledger. The cell is 9.6% of the district's published total ($35,870,410,814.20). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $14,325,404.17, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does $3,452,422,405.29 include every Computer Systems Design product line in MD-05?
- The packet publishes one NAICS rollup. The packet does not split custom programming from other 541512 design work, and it does not split contract versus assistance. $3,452,422,405.29 is the combined obligation sum for NAICS 541512 inside MD-05 coding. This page will not invent a product pie or name contractors. Open NAICS 541512 and Maryland 5th District to inspect parent tables. 241 remains an action count, not a product count.
- Is $3,452,422,405.29 cash already paid in Maryland 5th District (MD-05)?
- 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 $3,452,422,405.29 as checks already cleared in Maryland 5th District (MD-05) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 241 awards. Prefer the live district and industry hubs if the tables moved.
- Why is the implied average $14,325,404.17 not a typical award?
- The average is $3,452,422,405.29 divided by 241 awards, about $14,325,404.17. Thick files pull the mean down; thin files pull it up. Neither case publishes a typical instrument. Modifications add rows. Recipients are unpublished. Use the ratio only as a concentration statistic.
