Medical, Dental, And Hospital Equipment And Supplies Merchant Wholesalers federal obligations in Washington (NAICS 423450)

What the medical wholesalers–Washington join is

NAICS 423450 and place-of-performance state WA meet on this tie. $157,596,998 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the nationwide total for medical wholesalers, not Washington’s entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. 423450 is merchant wholesalers of medical, dental, and hospital equipment and supplies, not irradiation apparatus manufacturing (334517) and not New York’s 423450 join.

5,110 is an award-action count. Modifications, delivery orders, and repeat vehicles add rows. Unique vendors are not published in this packet. Dividing $157,596,998 by 5,110 yields about $30,841 per award on average. The join does not rank Washington against other states and does not assign a fiscal year; none is in the facts.

NAICS 423450 as the industry side

USAspending labels NAICS 423450 as Medical, Dental, And Hospital Equipment And Supplies Merchant Wholesalers. Merchant wholesalers sit between manufacturers and providers. The code bundles medical, dental, and hospital equipment and supplies. The packet does not split those three. Washington’s 334517 manufacturing join is a product code, not this wholesale code. The industry hub for NAICS 423450 does not require Washington geography; only this overlay applies both filters.

A second medical wholesalers join in another state uses the same NAICS and a different dollar total. Do not treat Washington’s 423450 figure as a synonym for every medical wholesalers award in the catalog. 423450 is merchant wholesalers of medical, dental, and hospital equipment and supplies, not irradiation apparatus manufacturing (334517) and not New York’s 423450 join. Award titles on the NAICS 423450 page are the place to see what a given line bought.

Place of performance in Washington

Washington on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Washington residents. Washington POP is statewide, not a Seattle-only overlay. New York 423450 dollars do not sit inside this Washington total. Place of performance is not a warehouse census. Awards can list WA while later performance occurs elsewhere.

The state hub for Washington shows how NAICS 423450 sits beside other industries in the same geography. This packet does not split metros, counties, or congressional districts.

Award count, mean, and obligations

5,110 awards is a high-action wholesale file, far thinner than New York’s 110,290-award 423450 join, but this page does not rank the two states. Delivery orders can mint rows. The mean is not a typical invoice. Award count 5,110 is a record count, not a payment count and not a unique-contractor census. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use the Washington industries list and the NAICS 423450 hub.

An obligation is a legal commitment. $157,596,998 is that kind of sum. Outlays can lag. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing $157,596,998 as cash already spent in Washington over-reads the field.

What this pair does not prove

Fewer award rows in Washington than in New York is a record-count difference, not a finding that Washington bought less equipment. Coding practices affect row counts. Obligations are not outlays. Keep $157,596,998 labeled as NAICS 423450 obligations with Washington place of performance. Campaign contributions and USAspending awards are different datasets; this page does not claim donations fund these obligations.

A later ingest can restate $157,596,998 without changing the join key of NAICS 423450 and WA. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Open Washington federal spending for the state rollup, NAICS 423450 for the industry hub, Washington industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs. Correlation is not causation.
