Medical laboratories federal obligations in North Carolina (NAICS 621511)

Eight hundred fourteen medical-laboratory awards are coded to North Carolina. 814 USAspending.gov awards coded to Medical Laboratories (NAICS 621511) and North Carolina place of performance carry $133,698,558.67 in federal obligations. 814 awards against $133.7 million is a busy clinical-lab cell rather than an imaging or biotech-R&D book. Mean obligation per award is about $164,249. The join is NAICS 621511 plus North Carolina, not an imaging-center census, a 541714 biotech-R&D total, or an outlay.

Key figures

  • NAICS 621511 in North Carolina: $133,698,558.67 across 814 USAspending awards.
  • Implied mean about $164,249 per award, not a typical invoice.
  • 621511 is medical labs, not imaging (621512).
  • Cite obligations from USAspending.gov; keep both sides of the join.

NAICS 621511 and North Carolina as a medical-labs join

This page intersects one six-digit industry and one state. $133,698,558.67 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. NAICS 621511 is medical laboratories, not diagnostic imaging centers and not research and development in biotechnology. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national NAICS 621511 total. Those parent tables live on North Carolina federal spending and NAICS 621511.

814 awards against $133.7 million is a busy clinical-lab cell rather than an imaging or biotech-R&D book. 814 is an award-record count. Modifications can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique vendors produced the 814 lines. Reading 814 as factories, ships, or clinics in North Carolina would confuse actions with establishments.

North Carolina industries lists other NAICS codes with NC place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–industry pairs. Do not sum those indexes into $133,698,558.67. The headline remains $133,698,558.67 on 814 awards for this pair alone.

Medical laboratories, not imaging or biotech R&D

NAICS 621511 is a Census industry code assigned on the award. NAICS 621511 is medical laboratories, not diagnostic imaging centers and not research and development in biotechnology. Diagnostic imaging centers (621512) and R&D in biotechnology (541714) are different codes. Those neighboring codes never enter $133,698,558.67 unless they also appear as 621511, which they do not. Keep the six-digit label when you cite the North Carolina cell.

Imaging folklore is ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars. Unique contractors are unpublished. Dividing $133,698,558.67 by 814 produces about $164,249. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical North Carolina 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.

North Carolina geography on a medical-labs cell

North Carolina place of performance can cover the Research Triangle, Charlotte, or a reporting address in Greensboro. The packet has no site split. Inside the NC tag, named cities are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $133,698,558.67 only if its awards carry NAICS 621511 and NC — which this narrative cannot verify.

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

Obligations versus outlays for North Carolina 621511

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $133,698,558.67 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 814 is not a payment count. Quote NAICS 621511 in North Carolina as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.

What the medical-labs–North Carolina pair does not prove

The medical-labs–North Carolina pair does not prove that North Carolina specialized in this industry because of federal demand, or the reverse. Imaging folklore is ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars. 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 621511 and North Carolina.

How to cite NAICS 621511 in North Carolina

Cite USAspending.gov, NAICS 621511 (Medical Laboratories), North Carolina (NC), $133,698,558.67, and 814 awards. Note that the figures are obligations. Point readers to North Carolina federal spending, NAICS 621511, North Carolina industries, and All spending ties rather than collapsing those pages into this cell. Mean per award stays about $164,249 as a ratio only. Readers who reuse this state-industry snapshot 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. Keep the obligation word on the headline dollar figure in every footnote.
