Telephone apparatus manufacturing federal obligations in Maryland (NAICS 334210)
A relatively short telephone-apparatus award list still carries a nine-figure Maryland total. 120 USAspending.gov awards coded to Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing (NAICS 334210) and Maryland place of performance carry $405,080,631.47 in federal obligations. 120 awards against $405.1 million is a concentrated manufacturing cell: fewer rows than a wholesale flood, a large mean. Mean obligation per award is about $3.38 million. The join is NAICS 334210 plus Maryland, not a Maryland telecom-employment census, a 5G ranking, or an outlay.

NAICS 334210 and Maryland as an apparatus join
This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $405,080,631.47 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 334210 is telephone apparatus manufacturing, not software publishing and not wireless communications equipment manufacturing. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 334210 total. Those parent tables live on Maryland federal spending and NAICS 334210.
120 awards against $405.1 million is a concentrated manufacturing cell: fewer rows than a wholesale flood, a large mean. 120 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 120 lines. Reading 120 as factories, ships, or clinics in Maryland would confuse actions with establishments.
Maryland industries lists other NAICS codes with MD place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $405,080,631.47. The headline remains $405,080,631.47 on 120 awards for this pair alone.
Telephone hardware, not software publishing
NAICS 334210 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 334210 is telephone apparatus manufacturing, not software publishing and not wireless communications equipment manufacturing. Radio and television broadcasting and wireless communications equipment manufacturing (334220) is a different code. Those neighboring codes never enter $405,080,631.47 unless they also appear as 334210, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Maryland cell.
A 120-line book can still hide a few large vehicles. This packet does not name primes or product lines. Dividing $405,080,631.47 by 120 produces about $3.38 million. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Maryland contract. There is no median, no top-award table, and no fiscal-year breakout on this packet. Do not treat the mean as a posted unit price.
Maryland geography on a 334210 cell
Maryland place of performance can cover the D.C. suburbs, Baltimore, or a reporting address. The packet has no campus split. Inside the MD tag, Bethesda, Baltimore, or a named apparatus campus are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $405,080,631.47 only if its awards carry NAICS 334210 and MD — which this narrative cannot verify.
Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in Maryland, and a Maryland address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a logistics map. Maryland federal spending remains the statewide parent.
Obligations versus outlays for Maryland 334210
USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $405,080,631.47 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 120 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 334210 in Maryland as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.
What the apparatus–Maryland pair does not prove
The telephone apparatus–Maryland pair does not prove that Maryland specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. A 120-line book can still hide a few large vehicles. This packet does not name primes or product lines. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: NAICS 334210 and Maryland.
How to cite NAICS 334210 in Maryland
Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 334210 (Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing), Maryland (MD), $405,080,631.47, and 120 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to Maryland federal spending, NAICS 334210, Maryland industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $3.38 million as a ratio only. Readers who reuse Telephone apparatus in Maryland | 334210 should keep both sides of the join in the same sentence, cite USAspending.gov as the source, and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. The live hubs linked from this page can refresh the snapshot; this narrative does not invent a fiscal year, a recipient list, or an outlay total that the packet omitted. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside the named state.
