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

NAICS 423450 and Wisconsin as a wholesale join

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $58,765,594.54 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 423450 is medical, dental, and hospital equipment and supplies merchant wholesalers, not device manufacturing and not hospital operations. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 423450 total. Those parent tables live on Wisconsin federal spending and NAICS 423450.

35,050 awards against $58.8 million is a high-volume wholesale cell: many actions, not a handful of blockbuster device buys. 35,050 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 35,050 lines. Reading 35,050 as factories, ships, or clinics in Wisconsin would confuse actions with establishments.

Wisconsin industries lists other NAICS codes with WI place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $58,765,594.54. The headline remains $58,765,594.54 on 35,050 awards for this pair alone.

Merchant wholesale, not device 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 device manufacturing and not hospital operations. Surgical and medical instrument manufacturing (339112) and general medical hospitals (622110) are different industry pages. Those neighboring codes never enter $58,765,594.54 unless they also appear as 423450, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the Wisconsin cell.

A 35,050-line book often mixes delivery orders and modifications. This extract does not name distributors or SKUs. Dividing $58,765,594.54 by 35,050 produces about $1,677. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical Wisconsin 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.

Wisconsin geography on a 423450 cell

Wisconsin place of performance can cover Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, or a reporting address. The packet has no metro split. Inside the WI tag, Milwaukee, Madison, or a named depot are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $58,765,594.54 only if its awards carry NAICS 423450 and WI — which this narrative cannot verify.

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

Obligations versus outlays for Wisconsin 423450

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $58,765,594.54 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 35,050 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 423450 in Wisconsin as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.

What the wholesaler–Wisconsin pair does not prove

The medical wholesalers–Wisconsin pair does not prove that Wisconsin specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. A 35,050-line book often mixes delivery orders and modifications. This extract does not name distributors or SKUs. 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 Wisconsin.
