Medical, dental, and hospital equipment merchant wholesalers in California (NAICS 423450)

NAICS 423450 dollars tagged to California

NAICS 423450 and geography CA meet in this cell. $260,459,410.39 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the industry’s national total, not California’s entire federal inflow, and not an outlay. NAICS 423450 is merchant wholesale of medical, dental, and hospital equipment and supplies, not surgical instrument manufacturing and not general medical and surgical hospitals. The pair is the only object this page measures.

33,772 awards sit beside $260,459,410.39. That is an unusually dense award book relative to the dollar total: many small actions can stack into a nine-figure cell without implying 33,772 unique firms. The count can include contracts, orders, and modifications. Treating 33,772 as a roster of warehouses, clinics, or patients would misread award records as people. Unique recipients are unpublished on this packet.

Open California federal spending for every industry coded to the state, NAICS 423450 for the code without a state filter, California industries for the state industry index, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent tables into $260,459,410.39.

Merchant wholesale, not manufacturing or hospitals

NAICS 423450 is merchant wholesalers of medical, dental, and hospital equipment and supplies. Surgical and medical instrument manufacturing and general medical and surgical hospitals use other six-digit codes. Mixing those dollars into $260,459,410.39 would invent a roll-up the packet does not publish. NAICS 423450 is the only industry key on this California tie. A “medical supplies in California” headline that folds in manufacturers or hospitals is a different table.

Dividing $260,459,410.39 by 33,772 awards yields about $7,712 per award. That mean is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical invoice and not a median. A low mean on a 33,772-line book is consistent with many delivery orders or modifications rather than a few capital-equipment buys, but the packet does not classify award types. No fiscal-year split and no de-obligation history appear in the facts.

California geography on a 423450 cell

California place of performance can cover a Los Angeles warehouse, a Sacramento reporting address, or work tagged to CA even when shipments move out of state. The packet has no city, county, or ZIP split. Naming one medical-logistics campus as the whole California book adds a label the facts do not carry. All of those places, if they appear at all, share the CA tag inside $260,459,410.39.

Place of performance can follow a payee address, in-state delivery, or a reporting convention. Awards coded to another state do not enter this sum even if a wholesaler’s headquarters sits in California. The join cannot re-allocate dollars along a supply chain. California federal spending still includes every other NAICS coded to CA.

Obligations, not outlays, on California 423450

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $260,459,410.39 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as cash already cleared in California over-reads the field. 33,772 remains an award-record count, not a payment count and not a shipment count. Keep the obligation word when you quote NAICS 423450 in California.

What the wholesaler–California pair does not prove

A large medical-equipment wholesale total tagged to California does not mean the industry caused hospital capacity, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation is not causation. FEC filings and USAspending awards are different datasets. Keep $260,459,410.39 labeled as NAICS 423450 obligations with California place of performance. NAICS 423450 is the national industry hub; California industries lists other codes in the state; All spending ties indexes other pairs.
