Medical equipment merchant wholesalers in Ohio (NAICS 423450)

What the medical wholesalers–Ohio join is

NAICS 423450 and place-of-performance state OH meet on this tie. $96,886,476.52 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the nationwide wholesale total, not Ohio’s statewide spending rollup, and not cash already paid. USAspending labels the industry Medical, Dental, And Hospital Equipment And Supplies Merchant Wholesalers; this overlay applies that code only where Ohio is the geography field.

6,540 is an award-action count. Modifications, delivery orders, and catalog vehicles add rows. Unique vendors are not published in this packet. Reading 6,540 as warehouses, clinics, or payrolls in Ohio would confuse actions with establishments. The join does not rank Ohio against other states and does not assign a fiscal year; none is in the facts.

Open Ohio federal spending for the state rollup, NAICS 423450 for the industry hub, Ohio industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parent pages into $96,886,476.52.

NAICS 423450 as the wholesale side

USAspending labels NAICS 423450 as Medical, Dental, And Hospital Equipment And Supplies Merchant Wholesalers. The packet does not name SKUs, manufacturers, or primes. Sharing a state with manufacturing codes does not merge wholesale with device production. The industry hub for NAICS 423450 does not require Ohio geography; only this overlay applies both filters.

A second 423450 join in another state uses the same NAICS and a different dollar total. Do not treat Ohio’s figure as a synonym for every medical-wholesale award in the catalog. 6,540 actions against $96,886,476.52 is a catalog-heavy file. Award titles on the NAICS 423450 page are the place to see what a given line bought.

Place of performance in Ohio

Ohio on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Ohio residents. Ohio POP is statewide, not a Columbus-only or Cleveland-only overlay. Place of performance can list OH while later work occurs in Indiana or Pennsylvania; those states are not inside this total unless also coded OH.

The state hub for Ohio shows how NAICS 423450 sits beside other industries in the same geography. This packet does not split metros, counties, or congressional districts. Contractor headquarters can differ from the place-of-performance tag. Open Ohio federal spending for the statewide parent.

Award count, mean, and obligations

6,540 awards against $96,886,476.52 produces a mean of about $14,814. Catalog lines, delivery orders, and modifications can each mint a row, which pulls the mean toward a small-ticket ratio. That mean is still only a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. Award count 6,540 is a record count, not a payment count and not a unique-contractor census.

An obligation is a legal commitment. $96,886,476.52 is that kind of sum. Outlays can lag. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing $96,886,476.52 as cash already spent in Ohio over-reads the field.

What this pair does not prove

A large row count is not proof of waste and not proof of a single prime. Keep $96,886,476.52 labeled as NAICS 423450 obligations with Ohio place of performance. Campaign contributions and USAspending awards are different datasets; this page does not claim donations fund these obligations. Correlation is not causation.

How to cite medical wholesalers in Ohio

Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 423450 (Medical, Dental, And Hospital Equipment And Supplies Merchant Wholesalers), Ohio (OH), $96,886,476.52, and 6,540 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to Ohio federal spending, NAICS 423450, Ohio industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $14,814 as a ratio only.

A catalog-scale row count is how this wholesale NAICS was recorded in Ohio, 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 $96,886,476.52 in every footnote.
