Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences in Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05)

$1,561,313,524.06 in USAspending.gov obligations pairs NAICS 541710 (Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences) with Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05) across 18 awards. The join is NAICS 541710 crossed with a MA-05 location field, not Massachusetts's entire research book and not a named-laboratory inventory. The dollars are commitments, not Treasury outlays. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one.

Key figures

  • Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (NAICS 541710) × MA-05: $1,561,313,524.06 across 18 awards.
  • About 4.4% of the MA-05 district parent $35,808,517,228.83 by arithmetic.
  • 18 awards are a row count, not a laboratory or vendor census.
  • Obligations are not outlays; no fiscal year is in the packet.
  • FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell; source is USAspending.gov.

NAICS 541710 × MA-05 is a broader R&D join, not a lab roster

This page is a join: Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (NAICS 541710) as the industry key, and Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05) as congressional district place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations to $1,561,313,524.06 on 18 awards. The join is NAICS 541710 crossed with a MA-05 location field, not Massachusetts'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 18 awards equal 18 laboratories or 18 unique primes.

The MA-05 electronics-repair cell (811219) and the MA-06 residual-professional cell sit outside this total unless they also carry NAICS 541710 and MA-05. Newer 541715/541712 splits are different keys. Mixing those books into $1,561,313,524.06 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and local scientific employment is not causation. Laboratory names and investigator counts are not in the packet. Place of performance as MA-05 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $1,561,313,524.06 in a district treasury. Cambridge-adjacent folklore is not a geography split in this packet; MA-05 is the district tag, not a metro list.

18 awards behind $1.56 billion

Mean obligation is about $86,739,640.23 if $1,561,313,524.06 were divided evenly across 18 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. Eighteen awards against a $1.56 billion cell is a concentrated R&D file, thinner in rows than MA-05's fifty-award 811219 repair join.

Large research vehicles can post as few high-dollar rows. This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open Massachusetts 5th District for the stored district table. Do not convert 18 into a map of Massachusetts 5th District laboratories. The $1,561,313,524.06 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on the overlay rather than inferring an investigator census.

Massachusetts 5th District, not a statewide science rollup

Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05) is one geography tag on USAspending awards, not a commuting zone and not a metro list. Awards tagged to MA-06, MA-07, or another Massachusetts district are out even if the research campus sounds related. Recipient address can differ from that district tag. The district parent in this extract is $35,808,517,228.83 across every industry; $1,561,313,524.06 is the Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences slice — about 4.4% of that parent by arithmetic. Subtracting is tempting; this page still does not publish the leftover NAICS list.

A statewide physical-sciences R&D figure on Massachusetts federal spending is a different shelf. Do not rank MA-05 against neighboring districts as a winner or loser. Other Massachusetts district cells are other joins. Massachusetts federal spending is the statewide book without a district filter. Adding statewide Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences dollars to $1,561,313,524.06 would double count. Campaign-finance filings are a different public-record system; this join does not claim donations funded these obligations.

NAICS 541710 obligations are not papers already accepted

Physical, engineering, and life-sciences R&D awards often obligate as multi-year research vehicles. The $1,561,313,524.06 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of studies already published and not a Treasury outlay total. A federal science dashboard dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses NAICS 541710, MA-05 geography, and the obligation metric.

NAICS 541710 is the nationwide industry book without a MA-05 filter. This extract does not split physical from engineering from life sciences, and it does not merge electronics-repair (811219) into this 541710 cell. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 18 awards, NAICS 541710, and Massachusetts 5th District. This page will not invent a share. Unique recipients remain unpublished.

What the MA-05 physical-sciences R&D table omits

The extract has no laboratory names, primes, or investigator counts. Facts remain $1,561,313,524.06, 18 awards, NAICS 541710, Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences, Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05), and district parent $35,808,517,228.83. Middlesex research folklore belongs on another extract if it appears at all. Keep the obligation label. Later ingests can revise both the dollars and the 18-award count; prefer the live table when the overlay and this snapshot diverge.

Where the 541710 × MA-05 pair lives

Start with Massachusetts 5th District for the district rollup that contains this Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences cell. NAICS 541710 is the nationwide NAICS 541710 listing. Massachusetts federal spending gives Massachusetts context without a MA-05 filter. All spending ties indexes other two-key joins on the same obligation metric. Eighteen awards totaling this cell remain an administrative file, not a laboratory roster. Keep both Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences and Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05) in every citation sentence. Do not recast $1,561,313,524.06 as cash already paid or as Massachusetts's entire research appropriation. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join. FEC contribution tables do not fund this cell.

Questions

How much physical, engineering, and life sciences R&D is obligated in Massachusetts 5th District?
USAspending.gov shows $1,561,313,524.06 in Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (NAICS 541710) obligations with Massachusetts 5th District (MA-05) as place of performance, across 18 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the district's full $35,808,517,228.83 parent. Other NAICS codes sit outside this join unless they also carry 541710.
Do 18 awards mean 18 research labs in MA-05?
No. Award count is a row count of NAICS 541710 actions tagged to MA-05. It is not a lab or vendor census. Unique recipients are unpublished. Mean obligation of about $86,739,640.23 is a quotient of $1,561,313,524.06 and 18.
Does this MA-05 R&D cell include electronics-repair dollars?
No. NAICS 811219 is a different industry key on the same district. $1,561,313,524.06 is about 4.4% of the Massachusetts 5th District parent $35,808,517,228.83 by arithmetic. Cite USAspending.gov as the source.
Is the MA-05 physical-sciences R&D total already paid as outlays?
Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $1,561,313,524.06 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Invoice draws and remaining balances are not published here. Cite USAspending.gov as the source.
