Maryland 5th District

NAICS 541715 × MD-05 is a Southern Maryland R&D join, not a lab roster

This page is a join: Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Nanotechnology And Biotechnology) (NAICS 541715) as the industry key, and Maryland 5th District (MD-05) as congressional district place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations to $1,801,232,875.98 on 189 awards. The join is NAICS 541715 crossed with an MD-05 location field, not Maryland's entire research book and not a named-laboratory inventory. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which district received more, and not a claim that 189 awards equal 189 laboratories or 189 unique primes.

The MD-04 541715 join, the MD-05 computer-facilities cell (541513), and the MD-06 biotechnology R&D cell sit outside this total unless they also carry NAICS 541715 and MD-05. Mixing those books into $1,801,232,875.98 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and local research employment is not causation. Laboratory names and investigator counts are not in the packet. Place of performance as MD-05 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $1,801,232,875.98 in a district treasury. Lexington Park-versus-California folklore is not a geography split in this packet.

189 awards behind $1.80 billion

Mean obligation is about $9,530,332.68 if $1,801,232,875.98 were divided evenly across 189 lines. That ratio is not a published grant size and not a typical research invoice. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of labs, campuses, or unique vendors. One hundred eighty-nine awards against a $1.80 billion cell is a thicker R&D file than MD-04's one-hundred-seventy-seven-award 541715 join on a smaller dollar cell.

Research task orders can multiply rows without multiplying unique laboratories. This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open Maryland 5th District for the stored district table. Do not convert 189 into a map of Maryland 5th District laboratories. The $1,801,232,875.98 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on the overlay rather than inferring an investigator census.

Questions

How much except-nano/bio R&D is obligated in Maryland 5th District?

USAspending.gov shows $1,801,232,875.98 in Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Nanotechnology And Biotechnology) (NAICS 541715) obligations with Maryland 5th District (MD-05) as place of performance, across 189 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the district's full $35,870,410,814.20 parent. Other NAICS codes sit outside this join unless they also carry 541715.

Do 189 awards mean 189 research labs in MD-05?

No. Award count is a row count of NAICS 541715 actions tagged to MD-05. It is not a lab or vendor census. Unique recipients are unpublished. Mean obligation of about $9,530,332.68 is a quotient of $1,801,232,875.98 and 189.

Should I add MD-04 541715 dollars to this MD-05 cell?

No. Adding MD-04 would invent a statewide 541715 total this packet does not publish. $1,801,232,875.98 is about 5.0% of the Maryland 5th District parent $35,870,410,814.20 by arithmetic. Cite USAspending.gov as the source.

Is the MD-05 except-nano/bio R&D total already paid as outlays?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $1,801,232,875.98 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Invoice draws and remaining balances are not published here. Cite USAspending.gov as the source.
