Medical equipment merchant wholesalers in Minnesota (NAICS 423450)

Twenty-six thousand seventy-five wholesale awards are coded to Minnesota. USAspending.gov lists $63,545,827.09 in NAICS 423450 (Medical, Dental, And Hospital Equipment And Supplies Merchant Wholesalers) obligations with Minnesota place of performance. The pair is a catalog-heavy wholesale cell, not Minnesota’s full federal total and not every 423450 award nationwide. Mean obligation per award is about $2,437, a small-ticket ratio of two packet facts rather than a typical device invoice. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This page is a join of one NAICS industry and one place-of-performance state; it is not a ranking, not a recipient roster, and not a claim that campaign donations fund these awards.

NAICS 423450 and Minnesota as a medical-wholesale join

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $63,545,827.09 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 423450 is medical, dental, and hospital equipment and supplies merchant wholesalers, not a statewide spending total and not a national 423450 rollup. Those parent tables live on Minnesota federal spending and NAICS 423450.

26,075 awards against $63.5 million is an outlier action count, not a warehouse census. 26,075 is an award-record count. Catalog vehicles and modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 26,075 lines. Reading 26,075 as clinics, SKUs, or payrolls in Minnesota would confuse actions with establishments.

Minnesota industries lists other NAICS codes with MN place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $63,545,827.09. The headline remains $63,545,827.09 on 26,075 awards for this pair alone.

The overlay exists because two filters are true at once. Quote the industry code and the state together whenever you reuse the headline dollar figure. The packet publishes an obligation sum and an award-action count; it does not publish unique vendors, a median, outlays, or a fiscal year. Parent hubs remain the place to see the statewide mix and the national industry page without the other filter.

Wholesale supplies, not device manufacturing

USAspending labels NAICS 423450 as Medical, Dental, And Hospital Equipment And Supplies Merchant Wholesalers. The packet does not name SKUs, manufacturers, or primes. Surgical-appliance manufacturing never enters $63,545,827.09 unless it also appears as 423450, which it does not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Minnesota cell.

VA-catalog folklore is ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars. Unique contractors are unpublished. Dividing $63,545,827.09 by 26,075 produces about $2,437. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Minnesota 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.

Minnesota geography on a 423450 cell

Minnesota place of performance can cover the Twin Cities, Rochester, or a reporting address near a federal installation. The packet has no site split. Inside the MN tag, named cities are not broken out. A named city can sit inside $63,545,827.09 only if its awards carry NAICS 423450 and MN — which this narrative cannot verify.

Place-of-performance geography is not the same as contractor headquarters. A firm based elsewhere can perform in Minnesota, and a Minnesota address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a warehouse map. Minnesota federal spending remains the statewide parent.

Obligations versus outlays for Minnesota 423450

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $63,545,827.09 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 26,075 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 423450 in Minnesota as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.

What the medical-wholesale–Minnesota pair does not prove

A huge row count is not proof of waste and not proof of a single prime. Unique contractors are unpublished. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: NAICS 423450 and Minnesota. Place of performance remains a geography tag, not proof that work stayed inside the named state.

How to cite medical wholesalers in Minnesota

Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 423450 (Medical, Dental, And Hospital Equipment And Supplies Merchant Wholesalers), Minnesota (MN), $63,545,827.09, and 26,075 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to Minnesota federal spending, NAICS 423450, Minnesota industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $2,437 as a ratio only.

A catalog-scale row count is how this wholesale NAICS was recorded in Minnesota, not a warehouse census. Readers who reuse this snapshot should keep both sides of the join in the same sentence and treat award rows as records rather than unique vendors. This narrative does not invent a fiscal year, a recipient list, or an outlay total that the packet omitted. Keep the obligation word on $63,545,827.09 in every footnote.
