Computer Systems Design Services in Maryland 8th (MD-08)

Systems Design obligations coded to Maryland 8th District (MD-08)

Congressional district MD-08 and NAICS 541512 meet here. $5,857,879,338.04 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 8th District (MD-08), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split custom programming versus integration, or contract versus assistance. 542 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $5,857,879,338.04 by 542 yields about $10,807,895.46 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 542 awards is a moderate-to-thick design file. Implied mean is pulled down by volume relative to MD-08's 17-row insurance cell. Do not treat MD-08's 541512 cell as a synonym for every Systems Design account nationwide. Open /districts/MD-08/ (Maryland 8th District) for the district table without this NAICS filter, /industries/541512/ (NAICS 541512) for NAICS 541512 without a MD-08 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 $5,857,879,338.04.

This page reports computer systems design services activity USAspending tagged to Maryland 8th District (MD-08). The headline $5,857,879,338.04 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $61,236,689,187.98; the 9.6% 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. Do not roll 541512, 541519, and 541330 into one MD-08 IT total. The packet never computed that sum.

What Systems Design contributes to this pair

USAspending labels NAICS 541512 as Computer Systems Design Services. That code produced $5,857,879,338.04 when crossed with Maryland 8th District (MD-08) place of performance. The industry-wide 541512 hub does not require MD-08 geography. The district hub does not require Systems Design. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 542 awards. The packet does not split custom programming versus integration, or contract versus assistance.

Correlation is not causation: Maryland 8th District (MD-08) did not cause $5,857,879,338.04 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 541512 × MD-08 only. This cell is not a systems-integrator headcount, a software catalog, or a named-vendor file. 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.

District geography versus Maryland statewide totals

Maryland 8th District (MD-08) 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-08 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Maryland districts belong on those ties even when the industry is also NAICS 541512. Maryland 8th District (MD-08) is not Maryland 4th. Maryland 4th also hosts 541512, on a different stamp and a different dollar total.

Why this is not an outlay register

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $5,857,879,338.04 is that kind of sum for Computer Systems Design Services inside MD-08 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 $5,857,879,338.04 as given.

Maryland's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 542-row Systems Design cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 542 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 ($10,807,895.46) is a concentration statistic, not a typical MD-08 Systems Design payment.

Live tables versus this snapshot

Cite USAspending.gov: Computer Systems Design Services (NAICS 541512) obligated $5,857,879,338.04 on 542 awards coded to Maryland 8th District (MD-08). Name Computer Systems Design Services and Maryland 8th District (MD-08) together. Keep the obligation word. If /districts/MD-08/ 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. 9.6% of $61,236,689,187.98 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Keep Computer Systems Design Services, Maryland 8th District (MD-08), $5,857,879,338.04, and 542 awards together. /ties/ indexes other pairs. /industries/541512/ is the 541512 parent without a MD-08 filter. /states/md/ is the Maryland parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with Systems Design does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join. Kansas 2nd's 541512 cell is thinner and a different geography. Same NAICS, not the same join.

What this packet refuses to infer

542 awards is a moderate-to-thick design file. Implied mean is pulled down by volume relative to MD-08's 17-row insurance cell. Kansas 2nd's 541512 cell is thinner and a different geography. Same NAICS, not the same join. 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 $10,807,895.46) and the district share (9.6% of $61,236,689,187.98) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer /districts/MD-08/ and /industries/541512/ if the live tables moved. Do not roll 541512, 541519, and 541330 into one MD-08 IT total. The packet never computed that sum.

Questions

How much Systems Design spending is coded to Maryland 8th District (MD-08)?

USAspending.gov lists $5,857,879,338.04 in Computer Systems Design Services obligations across 542 awards with place of performance in Maryland 8th District (MD-08). NAICS 541512 × MD-08 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 ($61,236,689,187.98). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $10,807,895.46, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $5,857,879,338.04 include every Systems Design program in MD-08?

The packet publishes one NAICS rollup. The packet does not split custom programming versus integration, or contract versus assistance. $5,857,879,338.04 is the combined obligation sum for NAICS 541512 inside MD-08 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open /industries/541512/ and /districts/MD-08/ to inspect parent tables. 542 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $5,857,879,338.04 cash already paid in Maryland 8th District (MD-08)?

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 $5,857,879,338.04 as checks already cleared in Maryland 8th District (MD-08) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 542 awards. Prefer the live district and industry hubs if the tables moved.

What share of MD-08 obligations is NAICS 541512?

NAICS 541512 accounts for 9.6% of $61,236,689,187.98 in district-wide obligations on this packet. That share is $5,857,879,338.04 ÷ $61,236,689,187.98. It is not a ranking of Maryland districts and not an outlay share. Other industries occupy the remaining district total on other ties.
