Department of Commerce federal obligations in Maryland

Commerce awards tagged to Maryland

Department of Commerce (agency 013) plus Maryland place of performance sums to $11,166,335,350.13 on 4,804 awards. Maryland’s other cells in this batch — Treasury 020, Treasury 014, EPA, SBA, PBGC — show how the same geography hosts very different award counts. Commerce’s 4,804 rows sit in the middle of that set.

NIST, NOAA, Census, and other Commerce bureaus often appear in public discussion of Maryland federal work. None of those bureau names are dollar shares in the facts. This page does not allocate $11,166,335,350.13 among them.

Maryland’s federal scientific campuses are easy to picture inside a Commerce total. Picture is not an allocation. $11,166,335,350.13 is not a NIST line, not a NOAA line, and not a Census line. The 4,804-award count is the unsplit 013 and MD pair. Bureau-level research belongs in the overlay’s records, not in this summary.

Awarding agency 013

The Department of Commerce hub is nationwide. $11,166,335,350.13 is the Maryland filter only. Awards coded to Virginia, DC, or other states are excluded even when the same bureau manages them from a Maryland campus.

Overlay /states/md/agencies/013/ is the table behind 4,804 awards. Matching the overlay is the check against drift. This copy does not add laboratory or satellite-office inventories.

Maryland place of performance

MD as a geography tag can include the I-270 corridor, Baltimore, and the Eastern Shore in one $11,166,335,350.13 sum. No county split is provided. The Maryland federal spending hub is the parent for all awarding agencies.

Place of performance is not recipient HQ. A contractor based elsewhere can appear in the Maryland cell if the award lists MD.

Maryland federal spending lists Commerce among every awarding agency. EPA, Treasury, and SBA cells in the same state use other codes. Their table shapes differ — fewer rows or many more — because the missions differ. $11,166,335,350.13 should not be added to those cells as if they were chapters of one Commerce story.

Obligations on 4,804 awards

Mean obligation of about $2.32 million is close to several DOT state means in this batch, though the missions differ. The quotient is not a typical Commerce contract. EPA’s Maryland cell has far fewer awards and a higher mean — another reminder that row count drives concentration.

$11,166,335,350.13 is obligations, not outlays. No fiscal year is supplied. The total is not labeled as a single budget year of Commerce activity.

Maryland Commerce’s 4,804 awards under $11,166,335,350.13 should be read next to the statewide parent, not next to a guessed bureau map. NOAA, NIST, and Census remain unlabeled. Awards tagged DC stay off the page even when a Maryland campus is the public face of the work. The mean near $2.32 million is a quotient. It is not a typical research grant. Obligations are not outlays. No year is labeled.

Limits of the join

The pair does not claim Commerce spending caused Maryland tech-sector growth. It records agency 013 and state MD on 4,804 awards. It does not import campaign-finance data, and it does not rank Maryland against other states as a business climate.

Maryland Commerce awards are not allocated among NOAA, NIST, Census, or other bureaus in the facts. $11,166,335,350.13 is the toptier 013 total for MD place of performance. Naming a laboratory as the destination of that sum would invent a share. The 4,804-award count is unsplit.

Four thousand eight hundred four awards and a mean near $2.32 million describe a mid-count table. Other Maryland agencies can look more concentrated or more assistance-shaped; those are different joins. Place of performance MD excludes DC-tagged awards even when a campus sits near the District line. Obligations are not outlays. No fiscal year is in the facts. The pair is not a ranking of Maryland’s business climate.
