Physical Science R&D Except Biotech (NAICS 541712) in Maryland 3rd District (MD-03)
Place-of-performance MD-03 crossed with Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) (NAICS 541712) yields $1,091,243,116.32 in USAspending.gov obligations on 247 awards. Two hundred forty-seven Physical Science R&D-coded awards equal a limited share of the district denominator. That pair is Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) and Maryland 3rd District (MD-03) — not Maryland's entire federal inflow, not Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 3.5% of this district's published obligation total ($31,356,776,634.33). Implied average obligation is about $4,417,988.33 ($1,091,243,116.32 ÷ 247). Correlation is not causation.

Reading the MD-03 × NAICS 541712 pair
NAICS 541712 and congressional district MD-03 meet here. $1,091,243,116.32 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology)'s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Maryland 3rd District (MD-03), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split physical, engineering, or life-science lines inside this except-biotechnology code, and it does not split contract versus assistance. 247 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a lab census, a patent scoreboard, or a named-investigator list.
Dividing $1,091,243,116.32 by 247 yields about $4,417,988.33 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical research grant, lab contract, or task order. Two hundred forty-seven awards is a mid-size award file. Do not treat MD-03's 541712 cell as a synonym for every Physical Science R&D account nationwide. Open Maryland 3rd District (/districts/MD-03/) for the district table without this industry filter, NAICS 541712 (/industries/541712/) for NAICS 541712 without the MD-03 filter, Maryland federal spending (/states/md/) for every industry in the Maryland extract, and All spending ties (/ties/) for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $1,091,243,116.32.
NAICS 541712 versus this district tie
USAspending labels industry 541712 as Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology). That code produced $1,091,243,116.32 when crossed with Maryland 3rd District (MD-03) place of performance. The industry-wide 541712 hub does not require MD-03 geography. The district hub does not require Physical Science R&D. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 247 awards. The packet does not split physical, engineering, or life-science lines inside this except-biotechnology code, and it does not split contract versus assistance.
Correlation is not causation: Maryland 3rd District (MD-03) did not cause $1,091,243,116.32 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 541712 × MD-03 only. This cell is not a lab census, a patent scoreboard, or a named-investigator list. 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.
Congressional district MD-03 on USAspending
Maryland federal spending shows how NAICS 541712 sits beside other industry codes in the same state extract. $1,091,243,116.32 is one district-industry column, not the state table. This packet does not split Maryland 3rd District (MD-03) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different NAICS stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology). The district-wide obligation total published here is $31,356,776,634.33; $1,091,243,116.32 is the Physical Science R&D slice of that denominator.
Deobligations, recoveries, and this snapshot
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $1,091,243,116.32 is that kind of sum for Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) inside MD-03 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 industry rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $1,091,243,116.32 as given.
Maryland's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 247-row Physical Science R&D cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 247 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 ($4,417,988.33) is a concentration statistic, not a typical MD-03 Physical Science R&D payment.
Snapshot rows and later ingests
Cite USAspending.gov: Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) (NAICS 541712) obligated $1,091,243,116.32 on 247 awards coded to Maryland 3rd District (MD-03). Name Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) and Maryland 3rd District (MD-03) together. Keep the obligation word. If Maryland 3rd District or NAICS 541712 has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a lab census, a patent scoreboard, or a named-investigator list. 3.5% of $31,356,776,634.33 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Keep Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology), Maryland 3rd District (MD-03), $1,091,243,116.32, and 247 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. NAICS 541712 is the 541712 parent without a MD-03 filter. Maryland federal spending is the Maryland parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with Physical Science R&D does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.
FEC tables do not fund this cell
Two hundred forty-seven awards is a mid-size award file. Volume can hide a few large assistance lines; the packet does not identify them. Unique recipients are unpublished. A large row count makes a product split tempting; the packet still does not supply one.
Questions
- How much Physical Science R&D spending is coded to Maryland 3rd District (MD-03)?
- USAspending.gov lists $1,091,243,116.32 in Physical Science R&D (NAICS 541712) obligations across 247 awards coded to Maryland 3rd District (MD-03). That pair is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Maryland's complete federal ledger. The cell is 3.5% of the district's published total ($31,356,776,634.33). Unique recipients are unpublished.
- Does this include biotechnology R&D in MD-03?
- NAICS 541712 is stored as except biotechnology. The packet does not split remaining disciplines or contract versus assistance. $1,091,243,116.32 is the combined obligation sum inside MD-03 coding. This page will not invent a lab pie or name investigators. 247 remains an action count, not a project count.
- Is $1,091,243,116.32 cash already paid in Maryland 3rd District (MD-03)?
- 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 $1,091,243,116.32 as checks already cleared in Maryland 3rd District (MD-03) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 247 awards. Prefer the live district and industry hubs if the tables moved.
- Is Maryland 3rd District (MD-03) ranked against other Maryland districts here?
- No. This page does not rank Maryland 3rd District (MD-03) as a winner or loser. $1,091,243,116.32 and 247 describe one join. Neighboring districts have their own cells. Cite Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) and Maryland 3rd District (MD-03) together without a league table. Confusing this join with Maryland statewide 541712 totals or Maryland 2nd's social-science R&D cell would be a different overlay.
