Department of Homeland Security federal obligations in Maryland

What the DHS–Maryland join is

Awarding agency 070 and place-of-performance state MD meet here. $9,140,799,794.34 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Homeland Security’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Maryland, and not an outlay register. Homeland-security, disaster, and related instruments can all sit under awarding agency 070. The packet does not split FEMA, CBP, TSA, or other DHS components. 3,834 is a mid-size action file: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Dividing $9,140,799,794.34 by 3,834 yields about $2.38 million per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line, and it is not a disaster-declaration list, not a border-crossing count, and not a threat ranking. A second DHS slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Maryland’s 070 cell as a synonym for every DHS account.

Open Department of Homeland Security in Maryland for the live filtered table, Maryland federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Homeland Security for agency 070 without a Maryland filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $9,140,799,794.34.

Awarding agency 070 as the DHS side

USAspending labels awarding agency 070 as Department of Homeland Security. That code produced $9,140,799,794.34 when crossed with Maryland place of performance. The agency-wide 070 hub does not require MD geography. The Maryland hub does not require DHS. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 3,834 awards.

This page reports homeland-security awarding activity that USAspending coded to Maryland. Correlation is not causation: Maryland did not “cause” $9,140,799,794.34 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 070 × MD only. Homeland-security, disaster, and related instruments can all sit under awarding agency 070. The packet does not split FEMA, CBP, TSA, or other DHS components.

Maryland as place of performance (MD)

Maryland on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Maryland residents. Awards can list MD while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, or the District of Columbia belong on those ties even when a Chesapeake or National Capital Region story is the same. Baltimore, the Washington suburbs, and the rest of the counties share one MD stamp. Place of performance is MD, not a county map.

Maryland federal spending shows how agency 070 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $9,140,799,794.34 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Maryland by county, metro, or congressional district. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to DHS.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $9,140,799,794.34 is that kind of sum for Department of Homeland Security inside Maryland 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.

Maryland’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 3,834-row DHS cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $9,140,799,794.34 as given. Treat 3,834 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.

Reading the DHS–Maryland award mix

3,834 is a mid-size action file: 3,834 rows against $9,140,799,794.34, with an implied mean of about $2.38 million. That mix is neither the thickest USDA-style action books nor the sparsest Energy-style files in this portfolio. It still does not publish a median, a program pie, or a unique-recipient count. Treat 3,834 as award records.

The overlay Department of Homeland Security in Maryland is the both-keys table. Maryland federal spending and Department of Homeland Security are parents. All spending ties lists other agency-state pairs. Those hubs are not addends to $9,140,799,794.34.

Questions

How much DHS spending is coded to Maryland?
