Lower confidence — Florida FY2026. Florida does not publish a commodity code with its vendor payments, so the trade is inferred from the company's name: a firm named "Chinchor Electric Inc" is read as an electrical contractor. This undercounts firms whose name does not state their trade — a plumbing company called "Sunshine Services LLC" is invisible to this method. 3,395,919 payment lines were read for FY2026. Treat these figures as a floor, not a full count. Source: Florida vendor payments, myfloridacfo.com.
Federal — prime contract obligations, FY2025
No federal figure for welding. None of the 35 federal NAICS codes held on this site maps cleanly to this trade, so no federal number is shown.
Questions
How much public money went to welding in Virginia?
Virginia recorded $6.88M on FY2026 purchase-order lines carrying a welding commodity code, across 451 lines.
How much did Florida pay firms in this trade?
Florida paid $1.29M in FY2026 to 78 firms whose company name reads as welding. The trade is inferred from the name, so firms whose name does not state their trade are missed and the figure is a floor.
Can I see one combined number for both states?
No. The two states are classified by different methods — official commodity code in Virginia, company name in Florida — so a combined number would be misleading. Each state is reported on its own.
