How much NASA spending is coded to Maryland 4th District (MD-04)?

USAspending.gov lists $10,362,716,975.69 in National Aeronautics and Space Administration obligations across 556 awards with place of performance in Maryland 4th District (MD-04). Agency 080 × MD-04 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Maryland’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 34.3% of the district’s published total ($30,227,601,567.39). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $18,637,980.17, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $10,362,716,975.69 include every NASA program in MD-04?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split NASA centers, missions, or contract versus assistance instruments. $10,362,716,975.69 is the combined obligation sum for agency 080 inside MD-04 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Maryland 4th District to inspect parent tables. 556 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $10,362,716,975.69 cash already paid in Maryland 4th District (MD-04)?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $10,362,716,975.69 as checks already cleared in Maryland 4th District (MD-04) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 556 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

Do FEC donations fund these NASA awards in MD-04?

No. FEC receipts and USAspending obligations are different datasets. Sharing Maryland geography does not mean donations funded $10,362,716,975.69 in Maryland 4th District (MD-04). This page reports USAspending.gov awarding-agency 080 crossed with place of performance MD-04. It does not report campaign finance.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration obligations in Maryland 4th District (MD-04)

Awarding agency 080 and Maryland 4th District (MD-04) meet at $10,362,716,975.69 in USAspending.gov obligations, spread across 556 awards. Five hundred fifty-six NASA-coded awards equal about one-third of MD-04’s district obligation total, a sizable aeronautics-and-space column beside other awarding agencies in the same Maryland district. That pair is National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Maryland 4th District (MD-04) — not Maryland’s entire federal inflow, not National Aeronautics and Space Administration nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 34.3% of this district’s published obligation total ($30,227,601,567.39). Implied average obligation is about $18,637,980.17 ($10,362,716,975.69 ÷ 556). Correlation is not causation.

Reading agency 080 inside MD-04

Awarding agency 080 and congressional district MD-04 meet here. $10,362,716,975.69 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Maryland 4th District (MD-04), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split NASA centers, missions, or contract versus assistance instruments. 556 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a center census, a mission catalog, a launch manifest, or a named-contractor file.

This page reports aeronautics and space awarding activity USAspending tagged to this district. The headline $10,362,716,975.69 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $30,227,601,567.39; the 34.3% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of Maryland districts as winners or losers. District 90 and 98 placeholders are omitted from this harvest. Obligations are not outlays.

Agency 080 without inventing a component pie

USAspending labels awarding agency 080 as National Aeronautics and Space Administration. That code produced $10,362,716,975.69 when crossed with Maryland 4th District (MD-04) place of performance. The agency-wide 080 hub does not require MD-04 geography. The district hub does not require NASA. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 556 awards. The packet does not split NASA centers, missions, or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Maryland 4th District (MD-04) did not “cause” $10,362,716,975.69 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 080 × MD-04 only. It is not a center census, a mission catalog, a launch manifest, or a named-contractor 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.

How Maryland 4th District is coded

Maryland 4th District (MD-04) 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-04 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Maryland districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 080. Maryland 4th District (MD-04) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Maryland. Other Maryland districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 080. Maryland 4th District (MD-04) is not Maryland 6th, 2nd, 7th, or 8th. NASA in MD-04 is a different join from HHS in those other Maryland districts.

Maryland federal spending shows how agency 080 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $10,362,716,975.69 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Maryland 4th District (MD-04) 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 National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The district-wide obligation total published here is $30,227,601,567.39; $10,362,716,975.69 is the NASA slice of that denominator.

What the dollar figure is allowed to mean

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $10,362,716,975.69 is that kind of sum for National Aeronautics and Space Administration inside MD-04 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 $10,362,716,975.69 as given.

Maryland’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 556-row NASA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 556 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. The implied mean ($18,637,980.17) is a concentration statistic, not a typical MD-04 NASA payment.

Parents of this tie: district, agency, state

Cite USAspending.gov: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (agency 080) obligated $10,362,716,975.69 on 556 awards coded to Maryland 4th District (MD-04). Name National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Maryland 4th District (MD-04) together. Keep the obligation word. If Maryland 4th District or National Aeronautics and Space Administration has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a center census, a mission catalog, a launch manifest, or a named-contractor file. 34.3% of $30,227,601,567.39 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Keep National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Maryland 4th District (MD-04), $10,362,716,975.69, and 556 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the 080 parent without a MD-04 filter. Maryland federal spending is the Maryland parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with NASA does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

Limits of the MD-04 × 080 snapshot

556 awards is a moderate NASA file. Same agency code as other NASA district joins, different geography, different dollar share of this district’s own total. 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 $18,637,980.17) and the district share (34.3% of $30,227,601,567.39) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Maryland 4th District and National Aeronautics and Space Administration if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Maryland 4th District (MD-04) as more NASA-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 080 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 080 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $10,362,716,975.69 and 556 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
