Maryland and NAICS 561612 as a guard-services join

NAICS 561612 and place-of-performance state MD meet on this tie. $115,802,420.81 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Maryland's statewide federal total, not an outlay, and not a national 561612 roll-up. Security Guards And Patrol Services is a protective-services code, not a residual dump of every security-tagged dollar in Maryland.

316 is an award-action count. Unique vendors are unpublished. The join does not rank Maryland against other states and does not assign a fiscal year; none is in the facts.

Open Maryland federal spending for the state rollup, NAICS 561612 for the industry hub, Maryland industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs.

Security guards and patrol, not facilities support as a catch-all

USAspending labels NAICS 561612 as Security Guards And Patrol Services. Facilities support services sit on a different six-digit key. Sharing a 'site operations' vocabulary does not merge those codes into $115,802,420.81. The industry hub for NAICS 561612 does not require Maryland.

The packet names no posts, agencies, or primes. Award titles on the NAICS 561612 page are the place to see what a given line bought. Do not treat the overlay as a statewide guard-force census.

Place of performance in Maryland

Maryland on this join is a geography field, not a National Capital Region-only overlay. Awards can list MD while later posts sit in the District of Columbia; those places are not inside this total unless also coded MD. The packet does not split counties or congressional districts.

The state hub for Maryland shows how 561612 sits beside other industries with MD place of performance. Awards can list Maryland while headquarters sit elsewhere.

316 awards behind $115,802,420.81

Dividing $115,802,420.81 by 316 yields about $366,463 per award on average. That ratio is packet arithmetic, not a typical guard-contract invoice. Award count 316 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Maryland industries and the NAICS 561612 hub.

An obligation is a legal commitment. $115,802,420.81 is that kind of sum. This packet has no outlay total. Citing the figure as cash already spent on Maryland guard posts over-reads the field.

What the 561612–Maryland pair does not prove

A guard-services NAICS plus Maryland is not a crime ranking and is not a claim that campaign contributions funded the awards. FEC filings and USAspending awards are different datasets. Keep $115,802,420.81 labeled as NAICS 561612 obligations with Maryland place of performance.

A later ingest can restate the dollars or the 316 count without changing the join key of NAICS 561612 and MD. Correlation is not causation.
