Merchant Wholesalers (NAICS 423850) in Virginia 2nd District (VA-02)

A place-of-performance join: Merchant Wholesalers × VA-02

NAICS 423850 and congressional district VA-02 meet here. $2,391,852,221.85 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not the nationwide Service Establishment Equipment And Supplies Merchant Wholesalers total, not every federal dollar coded to Virginia 2nd District (VA-02), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split equipment from supplies inside 423850, and it does not split contract versus assistance. 1,033 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a warehouse inventory, a named-distributor list, or a SKU catalog.

Dividing $2,391,852,221.85 by 1,033 yields about $2,315,442.62 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 1,033 awards is a thick wholesaler file. A large row count pulls the implied mean down. Distributor names and SKUs are unpublished. Do not treat VA-02's 423850 cell as a synonym for every Merchant Wholesalers account nationwide. Open Virginia 2nd District for the district table without this industry filter, NAICS 423850 for NAICS 423850 without a VA-02 filter, Virginia federal spending for every industry in the Virginia extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $2,391,852,221.85.

Service Establishment Equipment And Supplies Merchant Wholesalers as an industry code, not as a named-vendor list

USAspending labels industry 423850 as Service Establishment Equipment And Supplies Merchant Wholesalers. That code produced $2,391,852,221.85 when crossed with Virginia 2nd District (VA-02) place of performance. The industry-wide 423850 hub does not require VA-02 geography. The district hub does not require Merchant Wholesalers. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 1,033 awards. The packet does not split equipment from supplies inside 423850, and it does not split contract versus assistance.

Correlation is not causation: Virginia 2nd District (VA-02) did not cause $2,391,852,221.85 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 423850 × VA-02 only. This cell is not a warehouse inventory, a named-distributor list, or a SKU catalog. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

Place of performance for Virginia 2nd District (VA-02)

Virginia 2nd District (VA-02) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list VA-02 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Virginia districts belong on those ties even when the industry is also 423850. Virginia 2nd District (VA-02) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Virginia. Other Virginia districts are separate joins even when they reuse NAICS 423850. Virginia 2nd District (VA-02) is not Virginia 3rd or Virginia 10th. Those districts host engineering or R&D NAICS in this harvest, not 423850.

Obligation math for this join

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $2,391,852,221.85 is that kind of sum for Service Establishment Equipment And Supplies Merchant Wholesalers inside VA-02 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same industry rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $2,391,852,221.85 as given.

Virginia's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 1,033-row Merchant Wholesalers cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 1,033 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($2,315,442.62) is a concentration statistic, not a typical VA-02 Merchant Wholesalers payment.

If Virginia 2nd District or NAICS 423850 has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a warehouse inventory, a named-distributor list, or a SKU catalog. 13.0% of $18,441,444,277.67 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Using 13.0% and $2,315,442.62 without overclaiming

1,033 awards is a thick wholesaler file. A large row count pulls the implied mean down. Distributor names and SKUs are unpublished. Do not treat 1,033 as one thousand thirty-three unique vendors. Modifications add rows. Virginia 3rd's engineering cell is a different NAICS on a different tie. A large row count makes a product split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $2,315,442.62) and the district share (13.0% of $18,441,444,277.67) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Virginia 2nd District and NAICS 423850 if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Virginia 2nd District (VA-02) as more Merchant Wholesalers-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 423850 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 423850 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $2,391,852,221.85 and 1,033 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
