Department of State (019) federal obligations in Maryland

USAspending.gov records $901,978,491.38 in Department of State obligations coded to agency 019 with Maryland place of performance, across 1,103 awards. The slug ends in -2, so the disambiguator is awarding-agency code 019 in the title and H1 — not a second State Department, a duplicate join key that must stay explicit. One thousand one hundred three awards is a mid-to-high file. The implied mean is about $817,750.22 per award. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

Key figures

  • Department of State (019) in Maryland: $901,978,491.38 across 1,103 awards.
  • The -2 slug puts agency code 019 in the title and H1.
  • Implied mean about $817,750 per record — a packet quotient, not a typical contract.
  • Cite USAspending.gov obligations, not outlays; MD is not VA or DC.

What the 019 × Maryland join is

Awarding agency 019 and place-of-performance state MD meet here. $901,978,491.38 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. A Department of State award coded outside Maryland is out. An award in Maryland from a different awarding agency is out even if the work sounds diplomatic. This packet does not name bureaus, posts, or contractors. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Open Department of State in Maryland for the filtered table, Maryland federal spending for the state hub, Department of State for the agency book, and All spending ties for other pairs. Those pages are not addends to $901,978,491.38. Keep code 019 on every citation of this -2 slug.

1,103 State actions under a Maryland filter

Dividing $901,978,491.38 by 1,103 yields about $817,750.22. Diplomatic, training, and support instruments can mix in a mid-count file. 1,103 is not 1,103 unique vendors and not 1,103 named contractors. Do not invent company names.

Correlation is not causation: a large State total in Maryland does not prove foreign-policy outcomes. This packet does not rank Maryland against Virginia or the District of Columbia. No fiscal year is published here.

Maryland geography, not a Beltway rollup

Place of performance MD is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list. Maryland (MD) excludes Virginia and the District of Columbia. A Arlington-coded award is Virginia. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $901,978,491.38 by Baltimore, Bethesda, or College Park. 1,103 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $901,978,491.38 is the former. Citing it as cash already spent in Maryland over-reads the field. Deobligations move the total. This packet has no outlay figure and no fiscal-year split.

FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. An agency name near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending.

How to cite Department of State (019) in Maryland

A usable footnote names Department of State (agency 019), Maryland place of performance, $901,978,491.38 in obligations, and 1,103 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word and the 019 code. The compact $902 million is that cell rounded.

Prefer Department of State in Maryland if the overlay refreshed. Maryland federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to MD. Department of State is the 019 parent without the MD filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. A later ingest can restate $901,978,491.38 without changing the join definition.

Why the -2 slug keeps agency 019 in the headline

Duplicate SpendingVault slugs that end in -2 put the awarding-agency code in the title and H1. Here that code is 019, Department of State, crossed with Maryland. $901,978,491.38 on 1,103 awards is the pair, not a second foreign ministry. The implied mean near $817,750.22 is a mid-count texture cue. 1,103 is not 1,103 unique vendors. This packet does not name bureaus or contractors. Maryland excludes Virginia and the District of Columbia. An Arlington-coded award is Virginia. Beltway folklore is not a metro split in this extract.

Prefer Department of State in Maryland for the live overlay. Maryland federal spending and Department of State are parents. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Keep 019 on every footnote that cites this -2 page. No fiscal year is published. Obligations are not outlays. FEC donor occupations that say diplomat or State are a different dataset. Unique recipients stay unpublished. A later ingest can restate 1,103 or $901,978,491.38; rewrite the moved sentence and leave the join as agency 019 × Maryland.

Diplomatic folklore does not add post lists. $901,978,491.38 on 1,103 records is agency 019 with Maryland place of performance. The -2 slug keeps 019 in the headline. Virginia and D.C. stay other pairs. Prefer Department of State in Maryland. Maryland federal spending, Department of State, and All spending ties are hubs. FEC filings do not fund this cell.
