Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing federal obligations in Pennsylvania
USAspending.gov records $288,684,826.78 in Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing (NAICS 334517) obligations with Pennsylvania place of performance, across 866 awards. That pair is an industry code crossed with a geography filter, not a national medical-device budget. Average obligation per award is about $333,354.30 — a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical imaging-equipment contract.
Key figures
- NAICS 334517 in Pennsylvania: $288,684,826.78 across 866 awards.
- Average obligation per award is about $333,354.30.
- The total is obligations, not outlays, and not nationwide Irradiation apparatus.
- PA is place of performance, not a plant-only split.
What NAICS 334517 and Pennsylvania share on one row
NAICS 334517 and place-of-performance state PA meet here. $288,684,826.78 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in Pennsylvania, not the nationwide Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing total, and not cash already paid. Medical-device and statewide imaging-equipment folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not a plant list and not a machine census.
866 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — hundreds of award actions behind a nine-figure obligation total. Hundreds of rows can mix modifications with larger instruments. The join does not rank Pennsylvania against other states and does not name devices inside the extract.
Open Pennsylvania federal spending for the filtered table, NAICS 334517 for the next hub, Pennsylvania industries for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.
866 irradiation-apparatus actions under a Pennsylvania geography tag
Dividing $288,684,826.78 by 866 yields about $333,354.30 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical imaging-equipment contract. NAICS 334517 is irradiation apparatus manufacturing, not electromedical apparatus (334510). Those codes sit on other industry hubs. Do not collapse them because both can appear in the same state.
Medical-device and statewide imaging-equipment 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.
NAICS 334517 without a Pennsylvania overlay is a different total
The NAICS 334517 page aggregates NAICS 334517 without requiring PA geography. The Pennsylvania federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with Pennsylvania place of performance. Pennsylvania industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 334517 filter and the PA filter, which is why it cites 866 awards and $288,684,826.78.
Place of performance in Pennsylvania is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list PA while work occurs in New Jersey or Ohio. 334517 awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if a plant's mailroom is in Philadelphia. This packet does not split Philadelphia from Pittsburgh or Allentown.
Obligations, not outlays
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $288,684,826.78 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 Pennsylvania over-reads the field.
Award count 866 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Pennsylvania federal spending, NAICS 334517, and Pennsylvania industries. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug.
What this pair does not prove
A large 334517 total in Pennsylvania does not mean manufacturers caused Pennsylvania's device mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between plant geography and apparatus awards is expected; it is not a finding about clinical quality or waste.
Keep $288,684,826.78 labeled as NAICS 334517 obligations with Pennsylvania place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. An industry name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending.
How to cite the Pennsylvania-334517 pair
A clean footnote names NAICS 334517 (Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing), Pennsylvania place of performance, $288,684,826.78 in obligations, and 866 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $288,684,826.78 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $333,354.30 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical imaging-equipment contract.
Pennsylvania federal spending, NAICS 334517, Pennsylvania industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $288,684,826.78 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Philadelphia-versus-Pittsburgh folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Plant names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Keep the obligation label in every reuse. Correlation is not causation.

- USAspending.gov records $288,684,826.78 in obligations for NAICS 334517 with Pennsylvania place of performance, covering 866 awards. That is an obligation total, not an outlay total, and not the nationwide Irradiation apparatus total. Original filings remain on the source sites.
- Does this total include every Pennsylvania imaging plant?
- The extract lists 866 award actions totaling $288,684,826.78. Average obligation per award is about $333,354.30, a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical imaging-equipment contract. Unique recipients are not published here, and the row count is not a company census. Original filings remain on the source sites.
- Is this a Philadelphia-only irradiation-apparatus total?
- No. $288,684,826.78 and 866 awards are statewide Pennsylvania place of performance. This packet does not split Philadelphia from Pittsburgh or Allentown. A regional cut would be a different extract, not this NAICS-state join. Original filings remain on the source sites.
- Where are the live Pennsylvania and NAICS 334517 tables?
- Pennsylvania federal spending shows statewide spending. NAICS 334517 shows NAICS 334517 without a state filter. Pennsylvania industries lists other Pennsylvania industry cells. All spending ties lists other pairs. This page is the join of those two filters, not a restatement of either hub. Original filings remain on the source sites.
