General Services Administration obligations in Maryland 1st District (MD-01)

GSA × MD-01 is a thick schedule join, not an Eastern Shore building census

This page is a join: General Services Administration (agency 047) as awarding agency, and Maryland 1st District (MD-01) as congressional district place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations to $1,813,374,875.22 on 10,246 awards. The join is awarding-agency 047 crossed with an MD-01 location field, not Maryland’s entire facilities budget and not a named-building or schedule-vendor roster. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which district received more, and not a claim that 10,246 awards equal 10,246 buildings or 10,246 unique vendors.

Defense installations, VA medical leases, or GSA-coded awards in MD-02 sit outside this total unless they also carry agency 047 and MD-01. Mixing those books into $1,813,374,875.22 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and federal floor space is not causation. Square-footage and lease tables are not in the packet. Place of performance as MD-01 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $1,813,374,875.22 in a district treasury. Eastern Shore-versus-Aberdeen folklore is not a geography split in this packet.

10,246 awards behind $1.81 billion

Mean obligation is about $176,983.69 if $1,813,374,875.22 were divided evenly across 10,246 lines. That ratio is not a published rent per square foot and not a typical schedule order. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of buildings, leases, or unique vendors. Ten thousand two hundred forty-six awards is a very thick GSA file: many small schedule or task-order rows can inflate count without proving 10,246 unique vendors.

Modifications and delivery orders can add rows without adding buildings. This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open Maryland 1st District for the stored district table. Do not convert 10,246 into a map of Maryland 1st District federal buildings. The $1,813,374,875.22 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on the overlay rather than inferring a building inventory.

Maryland 1st District, not a Chesapeake facilities rollup

Maryland 1st District (MD-01) is one geography tag on USAspending awards, not a commuting zone and not a metro list. Awards tagged to MD-02, MD-03, or another Maryland district are out even if the tenant agency sounds related. Recipient address can differ from that district tag. The district parent in this extract is $18,793,237,545.99 across every awarding agency; $1,813,374,875.22 is the General Services Administration slice — about 9.6% of that parent by arithmetic. Subtracting is tempting; this page still does not publish the leftover agency list.

A statewide GSA figure on Maryland federal spending mixes every district. Do not rank MD-01 against neighboring districts as a winner or loser. Other Maryland district cells are other joins. Maryland federal spending is the statewide book without a district filter. Adding statewide General Services Administration dollars to $1,813,374,875.22 would double count. Campaign-finance filings are a different public-record system; this join does not claim donations funded these obligations.

Agency 047 obligations are not invoices already cleared

GSA awards often obligate as schedules, leases, and assisted-acquisition rows and draw as invoices post. The $1,813,374,875.22 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of invoices cashed and not a Treasury outlay total. A federal real-property inventory dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses agency 047, MD-01 geography, and the obligation metric.

General Services Administration is the nationwide agency book without a MD-01 filter. This extract does not split PBS from FAS, and it does not split leases from supply schedules. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 10,246 awards, agency 047, and Maryland 1st District. This page will not invent a share. Unique recipients remain unpublished.

What the MD-01 GSA table omits

The extract has no building names, lessors, or schedule vendor names. Facts remain $1,813,374,875.22, 10,246 awards, agency 047, General Services Administration, Maryland 1st District (MD-01), and district parent $18,793,237,545.99. Campus folklore belongs on another extract if it appears at all. Keep the obligation label. Later ingests can revise both the dollars and the 10,246-award count; prefer the live table when the overlay and this snapshot diverge.

Where the GSA × MD-01 pair lives

Start with Maryland 1st District for the district rollup that contains this General Services Administration cell. General Services Administration is the nationwide agency listing. Maryland federal spending gives Maryland context without a MD-01 filter. All spending ties indexes other two-key joins on the same obligation metric. 10,246 awards totaling this cell remain a thick administrative file, not a building roster. Keep both General Services Administration and Maryland 1st District (MD-01) in every citation sentence. Do not recast $1,813,374,875.22 as cash already paid or as Maryland’s entire facilities appropriation. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join.

Questions

How much GSA spending is obligated in Maryland 1st District?

USAspending.gov shows $1,813,374,875.22 in General Services Administration (agency 047) obligations with Maryland 1st District (MD-01) as place of performance, across 10,246 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the district’s full $18,793,237,545.99 parent. Other agencies sit outside this join unless they also carry 047.

Do 10,246 awards mean 10,246 federal buildings in MD-01?

No. Award count is a row count of General Services Administration actions tagged to MD-01, including delivery orders and modifications. It is not a building or vendor census. Mean obligation of about $176,983.69 is a quotient of $1,813,374,875.22 and 10,246.

Does the MD-01 GSA cell include Defense installation awards?

Only if those awards list awarding agency 047. A Defense-awarded installation contract is a different join. $1,813,374,875.22 is about 9.6% of the Maryland 1st District parent $18,793,237,545.99 by arithmetic. Cite USAspending.gov as the source.

Is the MD-01 GSA total already paid as outlays?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $1,813,374,875.22 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Invoice draws and remaining balances are not published here.
