Key figures

  • NAICS 339112 surgical instrument manufacturing shows $5.6 billion obligated.
  • 36,831 awards average about $153,122 in the USAspending extract.
  • Medical wholesale (423450) and hospitals (622110) are separate NAICS hubs.
  • Figures are contract obligations, not outlays, unit counts, or clinical advice.

Instruments as a manufacturing tag

Thirty-six thousand eight hundred thirty-one awards against $5,639,633,380.19 produces a mean of about $153,122. That volume-and-mean pattern sits near small-arms accessories manufacturing (42,572 awards, ~$170,396 mean) in shape, not in product. NAICS 339112 is surgical and medical instrument manufacturing. Contracting officers pick it when making those instruments is the principal purpose.

Merchant wholesalers of medical equipment (423450) show 1.5 million awards at a ~$3,732 mean in this extract — a distribution pattern. Hospitals (622110) are a services pattern. Optical instrument manufacturing (333314) is a different maker class with 1,022 awards and a ~$5.6 million mean. This $5.6 billion is the 339112 maker tag only.

The packet does not name devices or procedures. This hub reports public spending tags. It does not evaluate safety, efficacy, or care choices.

Surgical and medical instrument manufacturing (339112) holds $5,639,633,380.19 on 36,831 awards, about $153,122 per award. That volume-and-mean shape is a manufacturing-supply book, not a hospital-services book and not a wholesale catalog. Medical wholesale (423450), hospitals (622110), and optical instruments (333314) are different classes with their own hubs. This $5.6 billion is 339112 only.

Production obligations versus cash paid

Instrument production lots often obligate at award and pay on delivery. Custom surgical systems can span longer schedules. This packet does not split those types. The $5.6 billion is the obligation sum, not a warehouse of instruments already paid for.

The 36,831-award count is not a unit count of scalpels or monitors. Delivery orders and modifications sit inside the tally as USAspending grouped them. Dividing dollars by awards is not a device price.

Wholesale, hospitals, and optics stay outside

NAICS 423450, 622110, and 333314 each have their own hubs. None of those totals is inside $5,639,633,380.19. A reader summing “federal medical devices” from several codes would mix manufacturing, wholesale, and hospital services the source keeps apart.

Assistance that funds clinic equipment at non-federal recipients often lacks NAICS and does not enter this industry figure.

This hub reports public spending tags. It does not evaluate safety, efficacy, or care choices. Diagnostic machines, surgical tools, and related instruments can share 339112 or land in optical or wholesale codes depending on principal purpose. SpendingVault does not recode those choices.

How to use the 339112 hub

How to keep wholesale and hospital dollars out of the maker total

If the question is “how much did the government spend on medical devices,” several NAICS pages plus untagged assistance would still be incomplete. If the question is “how much did USAspending tag to NAICS 339112,” the answer is $5.6 billion across 36,831 awards.

Do not convert $153,122 into a device price. Assistance without NAICS is excluded. Obligations remain distinct from outlays on open production lots. This is not clinical advice.

Surgical and medical instrument manufacturing at $5,639,633,380.19 on 36,831 awards is a maker tag. The mean of about $153,122 is not a device price. Medical wholesale and hospital services are different questions. This page is not clinical advice.

Optical instrument manufacturing is another maker class with its own hub. Open the surgical and medical instrument manufacturing industry page for descriptions. Cite USAspending.gov. Assistance that funds clinic equipment at non-federal recipients often lacks NAICS. Production lots can show obligations ahead of delivery payments. SpendingVault does not recode mixed diagnostic-and-surgical awards.

Thirty-six thousand eight hundred thirty-one maker awards at $5,639,633,380.19 are surgical and medical instrument manufacturing contracts. Wholesale distribution and hospital services are other tags. $153,122 is not a device list price. This page is not clinical advice. Open the industry page for descriptions. Cite USAspending.gov. Non-federal clinic-equipment grants often omit NAICS.
