Department of Commerce obligations in Maryland 6th District (MD-06)

What the Commerce–MD-06 join is

Awarding agency 013 and congressional district MD-06 meet here. $584,645,773.29 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Commerce's nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Maryland 6th District (MD-06), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split Commerce bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. 1,075 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a census-operation roster, a trade-mission list, or a named-grantee file.

Dividing $584,645,773.29 by 1,075 yields about $543,856.53 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 1,075 awards is a moderately thick Commerce file. Bureau and program splits are unpublished. Do not treat MD-06's 013 cell as a synonym for every Commerce account nationwide. Open Maryland 6th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Commerce for agency 013 without a MD-06 filter, Maryland federal spending for every awarding agency in the Maryland extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $584,645,773.29.

Awarding agency 013 as the Commerce side

USAspending labels awarding agency 013 as Department of Commerce. That code produced $584,645,773.29 when crossed with Maryland 6th District (MD-06) place of performance. The agency-wide 013 hub does not require MD-06 geography. The district hub does not require Commerce. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 1,075 awards. The packet does not split Commerce bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Maryland 6th District (MD-06) did not cause $584,645,773.29 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 013 × MD-06 only. This cell is not a census-operation roster, a trade-mission list, or a named-grantee 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.

Maryland 6th District (MD-06) as place of performance

Maryland 6th District (MD-06) 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-06 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Maryland districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 013. Maryland 6th District (MD-06) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Maryland. Other Maryland districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 013. Maryland 6th District (MD-06) is one numbered geography among Maryland districts. Other Maryland districts can host EPA rather than Commerce; those dollars are not this cell.

Maryland federal spending shows how agency 013 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $584,645,773.29 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Maryland 6th District (MD-06) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Department of Commerce. The district-wide obligation total published here is $27,489,268,187.93; $584,645,773.29 is the Commerce slice of that denominator.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $584,645,773.29 is that kind of sum for Department of Commerce inside MD-06 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 awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $584,645,773.29 as given.

Maryland's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 1,075-row Commerce cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 1,075 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 ($543,856.53) is a concentration statistic, not a typical MD-06 Commerce payment.

How to cite Commerce in MD-06

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Commerce (agency 013) obligated $584,645,773.29 on 1,075 awards coded to Maryland 6th District (MD-06). Name Department of Commerce and Maryland 6th District (MD-06) together. Keep the obligation word. If Maryland 6th District or Department of Commerce has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a census-operation roster, a trade-mission list, or a named-grantee file. 2.1% of $27,489,268,187.93 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Keep Department of Commerce, Maryland 6th District (MD-06), $584,645,773.29, and 1,075 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Commerce is the 013 parent without a MD-06 filter. Maryland federal spending is the Maryland parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with Commerce does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

Reading a thick Commerce file in MD-06

1,075 awards is a moderately thick Commerce file. Bureau and program splits are unpublished. Other Commerce × district pages are separate cells. Do not add those district totals into MD-06. 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 $543,856.53) and the district share (2.1% of $27,489,268,187.93) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Maryland 6th District and Department of Commerce if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Maryland 6th District (MD-06) as more Commerce-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 013 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 013 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $584,645,773.29 and 1,075 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

Questions

How much Commerce spending is coded to Maryland 6th District (MD-06)?

USAspending.gov lists $584,645,773.29 in Department of Commerce obligations across 1,075 awards with place of performance in Maryland 6th District (MD-06). Agency 013 × MD-06 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Maryland's complete federal ledger. The cell is 2.1% of the district's published total ($27,489,268,187.93). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $543,856.53, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $584,645,773.29 include every Commerce program in MD-06?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split Commerce bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. $584,645,773.29 is the combined obligation sum for agency 013 inside MD-06 coding.

Is $584,645,773.29 cash already paid in Maryland 6th District (MD-06)?

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.

Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

Where is the live Commerce–MD-06 table?

Maryland 6th District is the district parent and Department of Commerce is the agency parent. Maryland federal spending covers Maryland without the district×agency intersection as the headline.
