Department of Health and Human Services obligations in Maryland 6th District (MD-06)

Department of Health and Human Services and Maryland 6th District (MD-06) as a USAspending pair

Awarding agency 075 and congressional district MD-06 meet here. $12,395,920,958.22 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Health and Human Services’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Maryland 6th District (MD-06), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split HHS operating divisions or contract versus assistance instruments. 942 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a patient census, a beneficiary caseload, a clinical trial list, or a named-grantee file.

Dividing $12,395,920,958.22 by 942 yields about $13,159,151.76 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 942 awards is a moderately thick HHS file. Volume can hide a few large assistance or contract lines; the packet does not identify them. Do not treat MD-06’s 075 cell as a synonym for every HHS account nationwide. Open Maryland 6th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Health and Human Services for agency 075 without the 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 $12,395,920,958.22.

How USAspending labels Department of Health and Human Services

USAspending labels awarding agency 075 as Department of Health and Human Services. That code produced $12,395,920,958.22 when crossed with Maryland 6th District (MD-06) place of performance. The agency-wide 075 hub does not require MD-06 geography. The district hub does not require HHS. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 942 awards. The packet does not split HHS operating divisions or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Maryland 6th District (MD-06) did not “cause” $12,395,920,958.22 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 075 × MD-06 only. It is not a patient census, a beneficiary caseload, a clinical trial 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.

Geography is MD-06, not a facility map

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 075. 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 075. Maryland 6th District (MD-06) is one numbered geography among Maryland districts. MD-02, MD-04, MD-07, and MD-08 are different place-of-performance stamps even when agency 075 appears again.

Maryland federal spending shows how agency 075 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $12,395,920,958.22 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 Health and Human Services. The district-wide obligation total published here is $27,489,268,187.93; $12,395,920,958.22 is the HHS slice of that denominator.

Commitment totals versus cash paid

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $12,395,920,958.22 is that kind of sum for Department of Health and Human Services 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 $12,395,920,958.22 as given.

Share, mean, and what they are not

942 awards is a moderately thick HHS file. Volume can hide a few large assistance or contract lines; the packet does not identify them. 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 $13,159,151.76) and the district share (45.1% of $27,489,268,187.93) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Maryland 6th District and Department of Health and Human Services if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Maryland 6th District (MD-06) as more HHS-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 075 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 075 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $12,395,920,958.22 and 942 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
