Engineering Services federal obligations in Maryland (NAICS 541330)

What the engineering services–Maryland join is

NAICS 541330 and place-of-performance state MD meet on this tie. $2,241,728,532 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the nationwide total for engineering services, not Maryland’s entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. 541330 is engineering services, not the 541715 R&D code that also appears in Maryland on this slice.

4,653 is an award-action count. Modifications, delivery orders, and repeat vehicles add rows. Unique vendors are not published in this packet. Dividing $2,241,728,532 by 4,653 yields about $481,781 per award on average. The join does not rank Maryland against other states and does not assign a fiscal year; none is in the facts.

NAICS 541330 as the industry side

USAspending labels NAICS 541330 as Engineering Services. Engineering Services is a professional-services NAICS. It can sit beside R&D codes on related contracts without this page absorbing 541715. The packet does not split disciplines or name primes. The industry hub for NAICS 541330 does not require Maryland geography; only this overlay applies both filters.

A second engineering services join in another state uses the same NAICS and a different dollar total. Do not treat Maryland’s 541330 figure as a synonym for every engineering services award in the catalog. 541330 is engineering services, not the 541715 R&D code that also appears in Maryland on this slice. Award titles on the NAICS 541330 page are the place to see what a given line bought.

Place of performance in Maryland

Maryland on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Maryland residents. Maryland POP is not a merge with Virginia or the District. Place of performance can list MD while some tasks occur elsewhere; those other states are not inside {dol} unless also coded MD. Awards can list MD while later performance occurs elsewhere.

The state hub for Maryland shows how NAICS 541330 sits beside other industries in the same geography. This packet does not split metros, counties, or congressional districts. Open Maryland federal spending for the state rollup, NAICS 541330 for the industry hub, Maryland industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs.

Award count, mean, and obligations

4,653 awards is a dense services file, similar in shape to other high-count 541330 joins but not ranked against them here. The mean is a ratio, not a labor rate. Award count 4,653 is a record count, not a payment count and not a unique-contractor census. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use the Maryland industries list and the NAICS 541330 hub.

An obligation is a legal commitment. $2,241,728,532 is that kind of sum. Outlays can lag. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing $2,241,728,532 as cash already spent in Maryland over-reads the field.

What this pair does not prove

Maryland engineering obligations are not a proxy for R&D obligations. Open the 541715 Maryland tie for that NAICS. This page stays on 541330 × MD. Keep $2,241,728,532 labeled as NAICS 541330 obligations with Maryland place of performance. Campaign contributions and USAspending awards are different datasets; this page does not claim donations fund these obligations.

A later ingest can restate $2,241,728,532 without changing the join key of NAICS 541330 and MD. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Open Maryland federal spending for the state rollup, NAICS 541330 for the industry hub, Maryland industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs. Correlation is not causation.

A clean footnote names the NAICS, the place-of-performance state, the obligation dollar total, and the award-action count on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call the headline cash outlays. Metro folklore is not a packet split; awards stay statewide unless a different join says otherwise. A high award-action count is still a record count, including modifications. Original filings remain on the source site.
