National Archives and Records Administration federal obligations in Maryland

NARA awards tagged to Maryland

National Archives and Records Administration as awarding agency, Maryland as place-of-performance: 298 records summing to $335,482,840.73. A NARA award coded outside MD is out. An award in Maryland from a different awarding agency is out even if the work sounds like records. Maryland (MD) excludes Virginia and the District of Columbia.

Two hundred ninety-eight awards is a mid-count file. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 298 as 298 unique facilities, unique record groups, or named contractors. The overlay National Archives and Records Administration in Maryland is the both-keys table. Maryland federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Archives and Records Administration is the agency book without an MD filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Not a cubic-footage or researcher census

$335,482,840.73 does not measure cubic feet of holdings, researcher visits, or digitized pages. Those series are unpublished here. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 088 and an MD place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 298 awards as a roster of archives buildings. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. Correlation is not causation: Maryland did not “cause” $335,482,840.73 by hosting a records campus in folklore this packet does not name as a line item.

Maryland geography, not a federal-records rollup

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

This packet does not split $335,482,840.73 by College Park, Suitland, or Baltimore. 298 awards stay statewide. A facility table would be a different extract. Do not invent contractor names.

Obligations, not cash already paid

Even a mid-count file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $335,482,840.73 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already spent on archives in Maryland confuses two concepts. Deobligations move the total.

No fiscal year is published in this packet. Keep the obligation label on $335,482,840.73. FEC donations are a different dataset and do not fund this cell.
