Medical, dental, and hospital equipment merchant wholesalers federal obligations in Missouri (NAICS 423450)

NAICS 423450 and Missouri as a wholesale join

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $65,064,786.56 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 423450 is medical, dental, and hospital equipment and supplies merchant wholesalers, not surgical-appliance manufacturing and not charter passenger air. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 423450 total. Those parent tables live on /states/mo/ and /industries/423450/.

4,921 awards against about $65.1 million is a high-volume wholesale cell: many actions, not a handful of device buys. 4,921 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 4,921 lines. Reading 4,921 as factories, ships, or clinics in Missouri would confuse actions with establishments.

Missouri industries (/states/mo/industries/) lists other NAICS codes with MO place of performance. All spending ties (/ties/) indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $65,064,786.56. The headline remains $65,064,786.56 on 4,921 awards for this pair alone.

Medical wholesale, not surgical-appliance manufacturing

NAICS 423450 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 423450 is medical, dental, and hospital equipment and supplies merchant wholesalers, not surgical-appliance manufacturing and not charter passenger air. Surgical-appliance manufacturing and nonscheduled chartered passenger air transportation are different industry pages. Those neighboring codes never enter $65,064,786.56 unless they also appear as 423450, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Missouri cell.

Merchant wholesale is not device manufacturing. This extract does not name distributors, SKUs, or primes. Dividing $65,064,786.56 by 4,921 produces about $13,222. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Missouri 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.

Missouri geography on a 423450 cell

Missouri place of performance can cover St. Louis, Kansas City, Columbia, or a reporting address. The packet has no metro split. Inside the MO tag, St. Louis, Kansas City, or a named wholesale depot are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $65,064,786.56 only if its awards carry NAICS 423450 and MO — which this narrative cannot verify.

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

Obligations versus outlays for Missouri 423450

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $65,064,786.56 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 4,921 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 423450 in Missouri as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.

What the wholesaler–Missouri pair does not prove

The medical wholesalers–Missouri pair does not prove that Missouri specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Merchant wholesale is not device manufacturing. This extract does not name distributors, SKUs, or primes. 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 Missouri.

How to cite NAICS 423450 in Missouri

Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 423450 (Medical, Dental, And Hospital Equipment And Supplies Merchant Wholesalers), Missouri (MO), $65,064,786.56, and 4,921 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to /states/mo/, /industries/423450/, /states/mo/industries/, and /ties/ rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $13,222 as a ratio only. Readers who reuse MO medical wholesale (423450) | $65.1M 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 the named state.
