NASA federal obligations in Maryland 7th District (MD-07)

NASA in MD-07 has a thicker award file than CA-32

Maryland 7th District (MD-07) stores a NASA cell with hundreds of award rows — a thicker NASA file than CA-32 or UT-01. Thicker grain is a row-count fact, not a named-center roster. Center names are not in the packet. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $3,949,271,330.71 on 418 awards for awarding agency 080 with Maryland 7th District (MD-07) as place of performance. Treat the pair as a table intersection, not a ranking of districts as winners or losers, and not a claim that 418 awards equal 418 NASA centers. A National Aeronautics and Space Administration amount tagged to a different district is out of this cell.

DoD, Commerce, or NSF awards that mention space in a description sit outside $3,949,271,330.71 unless those awards also carry agency 080 and MD-07 geography. Mixing those lines would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and launch cadence or local aerospace employment is not causation. Those series are not in the packet. Place of performance as MD-07 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $3,949,271,330.71 in a district treasury. Maryland 4th District in this slice hosts Commerce and Treasury cells, not NASA. Do not mix MD-04 into MD-07 NASA.

418 NASA awards in Maryland 7th District

Four hundred eighteen NASA awards is the thickest NASA file in this slice. Do not read 418 as 418 unique vendors or 418 missions. Mean obligation is about $9,448,017.54 if $3,949,271,330.71 were divided evenly across 418 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a published typical award. Award count is a row count of USAspending awards, including possible modifications. The extract does not split research from flight hardware or operations inside agency 080. Unique recipients are unpublished.

This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open Maryland 7th District for the stored district table and National Aeronautics and Space Administration for the national agency shelf. Do not convert 418 into a map of centers, launches, or named missions inside Maryland 7th District. The $3,949,271,330.71 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on USAspending.gov rather than inferring an inventory.

MD-07 NASA obligations are not flown missions

NASA obligations are commitments, not missions already flown. NASA awards often obligate as contracts or cooperative agreements are recorded and draw as milestones are billed. The $3,949,271,330.71 headline is the obligation sum on this district-agency join, not flown missions or finished hardware. Citing the figure as cash already sent confuses two USAspending concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. No fiscal year is attached to this packet; do not annualize $3,949,271,330.71 into a yearly run rate.

Keep the obligation word on $3,949,271,330.71. Keep both National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Maryland 7th District (MD-07) in the citation. Campaign contributions recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell. Different datasets can share a state abbreviation without sharing a money trail.

What the Maryland 7th District NASA extract omits

The extract has no roster of centers, launches, or named missions. Facts remain $3,949,271,330.71, 418 awards, agency 080 (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), Maryland 7th District (MD-07), and a district-wide book of $22,936,491,356.93. This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling district-agency joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score.

Maryland 7th District places MD-07 among other congressional districts. National Aeronautics and Space Administration places agency 080 among other awarding agencies. Maryland federal spending is the statewide shelf. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Maryland spending or of National Aeronautics and Space Administration's national book the packet never computed. The $3,949,271,330.71 figure is the tagged pair only. Maryland 4th District in this slice hosts Commerce and Treasury cells, not NASA. Do not mix MD-04 into MD-07 NASA.

Citing NASA (agency 080) in MD-07

A clean footnote names National Aeronautics and Space Administration (agency 080), Maryland 7th District (MD-07), $3,949,271,330.71 in obligations, and 418 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not relabel 418 as a census of centers, launches, or named missions. Quote the district overlay if you need every awarding agency in MD-07, and quote the agency page if you need National Aeronautics and Space Administration without a district filter. About 17.2% of the $22,936,491,356.93 district book sits on this agency in the extract; that percentage is a derived ratio, not a separate published table.

A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is awarding agency 080. The other is congressional district place of performance as MD-07. The headline $3,949,271,330.71 is the obligation sum on that intersection. It is not a forecast, not a budget request, and not an outlay. It is also not a claim that National Aeronautics and Space Administration caused Maryland 7th District's economy to grow, or that the district caused the awards to exist. If a later ingest moves the live overlay, prefer the overlay when the table and this snapshot diverge.

Questions

How much did NASA obligate in Maryland 7th District?

USAspending.gov shows $3,949,271,330.71 in obligations for National Aeronautics and Space Administration (agency 080) with Maryland 7th District (MD-07) as place of performance, across 418 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the district's entire science or aerospace budget. Other agencies in the district sit outside this join.

Do 418 awards mean 418 MD-07 NASA contractors?

No. Award count is a row count of USAspending awards and can include continuations. It is not a census of centers, launches, or named missions. The packet does not name recipients. Mean obligation of about $9,448,017.54 is a quotient, not a typical published award. See Maryland 7th District for stored lines.

Does this include Commerce or Treasury awards in MD-04?

No. The join is awarding agency 080 crossed with MD-07 place of performance. The district-wide book on this extract is $22,936,491,356.93. Related agencies and other districts are not inside $3,949,271,330.71 unless they also carry both keys. Maryland 4th District in this slice hosts Commerce and Treasury cells, not NASA. Do not mix MD-04 into MD-07 NASA.

Is the MD-07 NASA total already spent on flight hardware?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $3,949,271,330.71 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Draws and remaining balances are not published in this packet. Remaining balances are not in the facts.
