Department of Commerce obligations in Maryland 4th District (MD-04)

Commerce × MD-04 is not Treasury on the same district

Maryland 4th District (MD-04) also hosts a Treasury cell in this slice. Commerce agency 013 is a different awarding agency on the same district geography. Mixing Commerce and Treasury invents a combined MD-04 finance-and-statistics figure the packet never computed. Bureau names are not in the facts. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $3,642,171,507.22 on 834 awards for awarding agency 013 with Maryland 4th District (MD-04) as place of performance. Treat the pair as a table intersection, not a ranking of districts as winners or losers, and not a claim that 834 awards equal 834 Commerce bureaus. A Department of Commerce amount tagged to a different district is out of this cell.

Labor, SBA, or Treasury awards that mention commerce in a description sit outside $3,642,171,507.22 unless those awards also carry agency 013 and MD-04 geography. Mixing those lines would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and GDP, exports, or patent counts is not causation. Those series are not in the packet. Place of performance as MD-04 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $3,642,171,507.22 in a district treasury. NASA in MD-07 is a different district. Do not mix MD-07 NASA into MD-04 Commerce.

834 Commerce awards in Maryland 4th District

Eight hundred thirty-four Commerce awards is a thick-middle file. It is not 834 bureaus, labs, or surveys. Mean obligation is about $4,367,112.12 if $3,642,171,507.22 were divided evenly across 834 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a published typical award. Award count is a row count of USAspending awards, including possible modifications. The extract does not split Census, NOAA, NIST, or ITA inside agency 013. Unique recipients are unpublished.

This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open Maryland 4th District for the stored district table and Department of Commerce for the national agency shelf. Do not convert 834 into a map of bureaus, labs, or trade transactions inside Maryland 4th District. The $3,642,171,507.22 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on USAspending.gov rather than inferring an inventory.

MD-04 Commerce obligations are not published statistics

Commerce obligations are commitments, not statistics already published. Commerce awards often obligate as contracts or grants are recorded and draw as work is billed. The $3,642,171,507.22 headline is the obligation sum on this district-agency join, not surveys already fielded or labs already equipped. Citing the figure as cash already sent confuses two USAspending concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. No fiscal year is attached to this packet; do not annualize $3,642,171,507.22 into a yearly run rate.

Keep the obligation word on $3,642,171,507.22. Keep both Department of Commerce and Maryland 4th District (MD-04) in the citation. Campaign contributions recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell. Different datasets can share a state abbreviation without sharing a money trail.

What the Maryland 4th District Commerce table omits

The extract has no roster of bureaus, labs, or trade transactions. Facts remain $3,642,171,507.22, 834 awards, agency 013 (Department of Commerce), Maryland 4th District (MD-04), and a district-wide book of $30,227,601,567.39. This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling district-agency joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score.

Maryland 4th District places MD-04 among other congressional districts. Department of Commerce places agency 013 among other awarding agencies. Maryland federal spending is the statewide shelf. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Maryland spending or of Department of Commerce's national book the packet never computed. The $3,642,171,507.22 figure is the tagged pair only. NASA in MD-07 is a different district. Do not mix MD-07 NASA into MD-04 Commerce.

Citing Department of Commerce (agency 013) in MD-04

A clean footnote names Department of Commerce (agency 013), Maryland 4th District (MD-04), $3,642,171,507.22 in obligations, and 834 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not relabel 834 as a census of bureaus, labs, or trade transactions. Quote the district overlay if you need every awarding agency in MD-04, and quote the agency page if you need Department of Commerce without a district filter. About 12.0% of the $30,227,601,567.39 district book sits on this agency in the extract; that percentage is a derived ratio, not a separate published table.

A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is awarding agency 013. The other is congressional district place of performance as MD-04. The headline $3,642,171,507.22 is the obligation sum on that intersection. It is not a forecast, not a budget request, and not an outlay. It is also not a claim that Department of Commerce caused Maryland 4th District's economy to grow, or that the district caused the awards to exist. If a later ingest moves the live overlay, prefer the overlay when the table and this snapshot diverge.
