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

A place-of-performance join: Defense × MD-06

Awarding agency 097 and congressional district MD-06 meet here. $8,559,830,130.34 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 6th District (MD-06), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split military departments or contract versus assistance instruments. 3,522 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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.

Dividing $8,559,830,130.34 by 3,522 yields about $2,430,389.02 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 3,522 awards is a moderate Defense file against a district total near twenty-seven billion dollars. Share is lower than MD-01 because this packet's district book is larger. Do not treat MD-06's 097 cell as a synonym for every Defense account nationwide. Open Maryland 6th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Defense for agency 097 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 $8,559,830,130.34.

Department of Defense as awarding agency, not as a named-vendor list

USAspending labels awarding agency 097 as Department of Defense. That code produced $8,559,830,130.34 when crossed with Maryland 6th District (MD-06) place of performance. The agency-wide 097 hub does not require MD-06 geography. The district hub does not require Defense. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 3,522 awards. The packet does not split military departments or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Maryland 6th District (MD-06) did not cause $8,559,830,130.34 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 097 × MD-06 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.

Place of performance for Maryland 6th District (MD-06)

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 097. Maryland 6th District (MD-06) is a numbered place-of-performance code inside Maryland. Matching row counts with MD-01 do not merge the geographies.

Obligation math for this join

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $8,559,830,130.34 is that kind of sum for Department of Defense 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 $8,559,830,130.34 as given.

Maryland's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 3,522-row Defense cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 3,522 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 ($2,430,389.02) is a concentration statistic, not a typical MD-06 Defense payment.

The pair is not an installation map, a platform catalog, or a named-contractor file. 31.1% of $27,489,268,187.93 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Using 31.1% and $2,430,389.02 without overclaiming

3,522 awards is a moderate Defense file against a district total near twenty-seven billion dollars. Share is lower than MD-01 because this packet's district book is larger. Near-matching award counts across Maryland Defense cells are coincidence, not a shared program split. 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 $2,430,389.02) and the district share (31.1% of $27,489,268,187.93) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Maryland 6th District and Department of Defense if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Maryland 6th District (MD-06) 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 $8,559,830,130.34 and 3,522 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
