Service Establishment Equipment And Supplies Merchant Wholesalers federal obligations in Virginia

What NAICS 423850 and Virginia share on one row

NAICS 423850 and place-of-performance state VA meet here. $6,244,406,437 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not every federal award in Virginia, not the nationwide Service Establishment Equipment And Supplies Merchant Wholesalers total, and not cash already paid. Statewide wholesale-supply folklore along the contractor corridor may send a reader here. Those stories are not a catalog and not a warehouse census.

356,282 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — hundreds of thousands of award actions behind a large obligation total. A very long row list can mix tiny supply actions with larger instruments. The join does not rank Virginia against other states and does not name catalogs inside the extract.

Open Virginia federal spending for the filtered table, NAICS 423850 for the next hub, Virginia industries for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

A very long wholesale award list under one Virginia filter

Dividing $6,244,406,437 by 356,282 yields about $17,527 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical supply-catalog line. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows; the listed count is not a unique-wholesaler census. The NAICS label is a Census industry code, not a finding that every row sold the same equipment.

Statewide wholesale-supply folklore along the contractor corridor is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Recipient rows live on the industry and state hubs, not in this narrative’s extra columns.

NAICS 423850 without a Virginia overlay is a different total

The NAICS 423850 page aggregates NAICS 423850 without requiring VA geography. The Virginia federal spending page aggregates all agencies and industries with Virginia place of performance. Virginia industries lists other industry cells in the same state. Only this tie applies both the 423850 filter and the VA filter, which is why it cites 356,282 awards and $6,244,406,437.

Place of performance in Virginia is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list VA while fulfillment occurs in Maryland or elsewhere. 423850 awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if a warehouse sits in Northern Virginia. This packet does not split Northern Virginia from Hampton Roads or Richmond.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $6,244,406,437 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as money already spent in Virginia over-reads the field.

Award count 356,282 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Virginia federal spending, NAICS 423850, and Virginia industries. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug.

What this pair does not prove

A large 423850 total in Virginia does not mean wholesalers caused Virginia’s supply mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between contractor geography and wholesale awards is expected; it is not a finding about catalog prices or waste.

Keep $6,244,406,437 labeled as NAICS 423850 obligations with Virginia place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. An industry name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending.

How to cite the Virginia–423850 pair

A clean footnote names NAICS 423850 (Service Establishment Equipment And Supplies Merchant Wholesalers), Virginia place of performance, $6,244,406,437 in obligations, and 356,282 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $6,244,406,437 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $17,527 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical supply-catalog line.

Virginia federal spending, NAICS 423850, Virginia industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $6,244,406,437 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Northern Virginia-versus-Hampton Roads folklore is not a metro split in this packet. A very long award list is still a record count, including modifications. Keep the obligation label in every reuse. Correlation is not causation.
