What NAICS 325414 and South Carolina share on one row
NAICS 325414 and place-of-performance state SC meet here. $405,120,891.25 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in South Carolina, not the nationwide Biological Product (Except Diagnostic) Manufacturing total, and not cash already paid. South carolina biologics folklore and statewide biological product (except diagnostic) manufacturing stories may send a reader here. Those stories are not a plant list and not a biologics actions census. NAICS 325414 is biological product (except diagnostic) manufacturing, not in-vitro diagnostics, pharmaceutical preparations (325412), or blood banks.
9 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a short row list behind $405,120,891.25. A short list can still hold a large dollar total if a few awards dominate. The join does not rank South Carolina against other states and does not name vendors, facilities, or biologics actions inside the extract. Unique recipients are unpublished on this page.
Open South Carolina federal spending for the statewide table, NAICS 325414 for the industry hub without a South Carolina filter, South Carolina industries for other South Carolina industry cells, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent pages into $405,120,891.25.
A nine-award biologics book under a South Carolina tag
Dividing $405,120,891.25 by 9 yields about $45,013,432 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical biologics lot. A second 325414 slice on another state uses the same NAICS code and a different dollar total. Do not treat South Carolina's 325414 total as a synonym for every federal biological products purchase. South carolina biologics folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field.
Recipient rows live on the industry and state hubs, not in this narrative's extra columns. 9 is an award-record count, including modifications, not a count of biologics actions and not a unique-firm census. Keep 325414 and SC as the join key even when a later USAspending ingest restates $405,120,891.25.
NAICS 325414 without a South Carolina overlay is a different total
The NAICS 325414 page aggregates NAICS 325414 without requiring SC geography. The South Carolina federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with South Carolina place of performance. South Carolina industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 325414 filter and the SC filter, which is why it cites 9 awards and $405,120,891.25.
Place of performance in South Carolina is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list SC while work occurs in Georgia or North Carolina. 325414 awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Charleston. This packet does not split Charleston, Columbia, or Greenville. Place of performance is a tag, not proof that every biologics action stayed inside South Carolina.
Obligations, not outlays
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $405,120,891.25 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as money already spent in South Carolina over-reads the field. Award count 9 is a record count, not a payment count.
Readers who need transaction-level detail should use South Carolina federal spending, NAICS 325414, and South Carolina industries. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug. Keep the obligation label on $405,120,891.25 in every reuse.
What this South Carolina–325414 pair does not prove
A biological product (except diagnostic) manufacturing total in South Carolina does not mean the industry caused South Carolina's industrial mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between plant geography and biological products awards is expected; it is not a finding about readiness, waste, or local employment. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset.
Keep $405,120,891.25 labeled as NAICS 325414 obligations with South Carolina place of performance. An industry name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending. South Carolina federal spending still includes other NAICS codes that must not be folded into this cell.
How to cite the South Carolina–325414 pair
A clean footnote names NAICS 325414 (Biological Product (Except Diagnostic) Manufacturing), South Carolina place of performance, $405,120,891.25 in obligations, and 9 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $405,120,891.25 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $45,013,432 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical biologics lot. South Carolina federal spending, NAICS 325414, South Carolina industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit.
A later ingest can restate $405,120,891.25 without changing the join of 325414 and SC. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Charleston-versus-Columbia folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Do not treat 9 as a unique-firm census. Unique recipients are not published here. Keep NAICS 325414 and SC as the join key. Those stories are not a plant list and not a biologics actions census. Correlation is not causation.
Readers who reuse SC biological products | USAspending $405.1M 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 South Carolina. NAICS 325414 without the SC filter is a different total on NAICS 325414. Statewide spending without the 325414 filter is a different total on South Carolina federal spending. South Carolina industries keeps sibling South Carolina codes unmerged. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Quote 9 awards and $405,120,891.25 together whenever the biological products cell in South Carolina is cited.
