Service establishment equipment wholesalers federal obligations in Massachusetts (NAICS 423850)

What the 423850–Massachusetts join is

NAICS 423850 and geography MA meet here. $614,098,817.06 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the nationwide service-establishment equipment wholesalers book, not Massachusetts’s entire federal inflow, and not an outlay. This merchant-wholesale code is not a factory NAICS and not a retail home-center code. Residual manufacturing 339999 in Massachusetts is a separate cell.

550 awards is a moderate wholesale list beside $614,098,817.06. A mid-size wholesale book can mix janitorial, laundry, and other service-establishment supply vehicles. The packet does not name those product lines inside the extract. Treating 550 as a count of Massachusetts stores would misread award records. Those labels are ordinary speech, not extra packet dollars.

Open Massachusetts federal spending for every industry tagged to the state, NAICS 423850 for 423850 without a Massachusetts filter, Massachusetts industries for other Massachusetts NAICS pairs, and All spending ties for joins outside this service-establishment equipment wholesalers cell. Do not add those parents into $614,098,817.06.

A wholesale book, not a store census

Dividing $614,098,817.06 by 550 awards yields about $1.12 million per award. That mean is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical Boston janitorial-supply order and not a typical Worcester laundry-equipment line. Unique recipients are unpublished. 550 is not a count of SKUs, stores, or distributors.

Massachusetts geography invites a Boston-versus-western-Mass wholesale story. This extract does not split those metros. All share MA inside $614,098,817.06. Treating the cell as one named distributor’s budget adds a label the facts do not carry.

Nationwide 423850 without a Massachusetts overlay is a different total

The national industry hub aggregates 423850 across every state. Massachusetts’s statewide hub aggregates every NAICS with an MA tag. Only awards that carry both 423850 and Massachusetts place of performance belong here, which is why this page cites 550 awards and $614,098,817.06.

Place of performance can follow a payee address, in-state work, or a reporting convention. 423850 awards coded to New Hampshire, Rhode Island, or Connecticut do not enter this sum even if a vendor’s mailroom sits in Boston. The join cannot re-allocate dollars along a New England wholesale chain.

Obligations, not outlays, on the Massachusetts 423850 cell

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $614,098,817.06 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as supplies already shipped from Massachusetts over-reads the field. 550 remains an award-record count, not a payment count.

What the Massachusetts–423850 pair does not prove

A large service-establishment equipment wholesalers total in Massachusetts does not mean the code caused Massachusetts’s industry mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation is not causation. Catalogs and distributor counts are not USAspending columns here.

Keep $614,098,817.06 labeled as NAICS 423850 obligations with Massachusetts place of performance. Massachusetts federal spending still includes other industries that must not be folded into this service-establishment equipment wholesalers cell. NAICS 423850 is 423850 without the Massachusetts filter. Massachusetts industries lists sibling Massachusetts codes.

How to cite 423850 wholesalers in Massachusetts

A clean footnote names NAICS 423850 (service-establishment equipment wholesalers), Massachusetts place of performance, $614,098,817.06 in obligations, and 550 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Mean dollars per action remain about $1.12 million. Do not merge retail or factory NAICS into this wholesale bucket. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

A later ingest can restate $614,098,817.06 without changing the join of 423850 and MA. Massachusetts federal spending still mixes every Massachusetts industry; do not quote that parent as 423850. NAICS 423850 is the national service-establishment equipment wholesalers code without the Massachusetts tag. Massachusetts industries keeps sibling Massachusetts codes unmerged. 550 is a record count, including modifications, not a unique-vendor census. Keep the obligation label on $614,098,817.06. Correlation is not causation. Massachusetts 339999 remains a sibling factory page, not this total.
