Department of Defense in Maryland 2nd District (MD-02)

Reading agency 097 inside MD-02

Awarding agency 097 and congressional district MD-02 meet here. $15,806,074,000.19 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Defense's nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Maryland 2nd District (MD-02), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split military departments or contract versus assistance instruments. 4,521 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not an installation map, a platform catalog, or a named-contractor file.

This page reports defense awarding activity USAspending tagged to this district. The headline $15,806,074,000.19 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $31,874,433,614.85; the 49.6% 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.

Agency 097 without inventing a component pie

USAspending labels awarding agency 097 as Department of Defense. That code produced $15,806,074,000.19 when crossed with Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) place of performance. The agency-wide 097 hub does not require MD-02 geography. The district hub does not require Defense. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 4,521 awards. The packet does not split military departments or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) did not cause $15,806,074,000.19 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 097 × MD-02 only. This cell is not an installation map, a platform catalog, or a named-contractor 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.

How Maryland 2nd District is coded

Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) 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-02 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Maryland districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 097. Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) is one numbered geography among Maryland districts. Other Maryland Defense cells sit on other ties with different dollar totals.

Maryland federal spending shows how agency 097 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $15,806,074,000.19 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) 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 Defense. The district-wide obligation total published here is $31,874,433,614.85; $15,806,074,000.19 is the Defense slice of that denominator.

What the dollar figure is allowed to mean

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $15,806,074,000.19 is that kind of sum for Department of Defense inside MD-02 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 $15,806,074,000.19 as given.

Maryland's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 4,521-row Defense cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 4,521 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 ($3,496,145.54) is a concentration statistic, not a typical MD-02 Defense payment.

Parents of this tie: district, agency, state

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Defense (agency 097) obligated $15,806,074,000.19 on 4,521 awards coded to Maryland 2nd District (MD-02). Name Department of Defense and Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) together. Keep the obligation word. If Maryland 2nd District or Department of Defense has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not an installation map, a platform catalog, or a named-contractor file. 49.6% of $31,874,433,614.85 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Keep Department of Defense, Maryland 2nd District (MD-02), $15,806,074,000.19, and 4,521 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Defense is the 097 parent without a MD-02 filter. Maryland federal spending is the Maryland parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with Defense does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

Limits of the MD-02 × 097 snapshot

4,521 awards against a district total near thirty-two billion dollars is a mid-thick Defense file. Share near fifty percent is arithmetic, not a ranking. Other Maryland districts can host Defense or HHS on separate pages. Agency 097 is Department of Defense only on this 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 $3,496,145.54) and the district share (49.6% of $31,874,433,614.85) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Maryland 2nd District and Department of Defense if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) as more Defense-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 097 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 097 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $15,806,074,000.19 and 4,521 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
