NIGP 17562: Papers, Laboratory

NIGP 17562 Papers, Laboratory is an Item code encompassing laboratory supplies and materials state and local governments purchase to support analytical testing operations across water quality, wastewater, environmental monitoring, and public health programs. The scope of work includes consumables, reagents, sample containers, testing media, and related materials necessary to perform regulated analyses at municipal water treatment facilities, wastewater treatment plants, groundwater monitoring programs, and public health laboratories. Recent solicitations show cities and counties procuring these supplies as part of larger laboratory services contracts or in conjunction with lab information management system replacements. The issuing bodies include municipal water and wastewater utilities (City of Palm Bay, Florida), county public health departments (County of Santa Clara, California), and city environmental programs (City of Pasadena, California). This code serves both routine operational procurement and capital-level transitions such as laboratory system modernization.

The City of Palm Bay, Florida issued ITB 19-ITB-26 in April 2026 for laboratory testing services spanning water, wastewater, groundwater, and industrial pretreatment programs across three wastewater treatment facilities and two water treatment facilities, with 188 line items and historical annual spending of $66,360 in 2024 and $95,440 in 2025. The County of Santa Clara, California issued RFI RFITSSFY260686 in April 2026 for a Public Health Lab Information Management Solution Replacement to modernize lab workflows and compliance capabilities, with a response deadline of April 22, 2026. Recent activity concentrates in California and Florida, with additional procurement visibility in the broader municipal water and environmental testing sector. Firms pursuing this code should track municipal utilities' annual testing contracts and county public health capital procurements as primary opportunity sources.
