NIGP 17585: Syringes, Laboratory, Manual and Automatic

NIGP 17585 Syringes, Laboratory, Manual and Automatic is an Item code that covers laboratory testing services, equipment maintenance, and lab information management solutions being procured by state and local health departments, environmental agencies, and municipalities to support regulatory compliance and operational workflows. State and local governments are buying comprehensive analytical testing for water quality, wastewater treatment, groundwater monitoring, and industrial pretreatment programs; pipette calibration and repair services to maintain laboratory instrumentation; and modern lab information management systems (LIMS) to replace aging software infrastructure. Issuing bodies include municipal utilities (cities), county public health departments, and state environmental and agricultural agencies. The work spans both operational laboratory services contracted annually and capital-level technology procurement for lab system replacements.

Recent opportunities show activity across Florida, California, and likely other states with significant municipal and environmental testing mandates. The City of Palm Bay, Florida issued ITB 19-ITB-26 in April 2026 (response deadline March 17, 2026) for comprehensive laboratory testing services across three wastewater treatment facilities, two water treatment facilities, groundwater wells, and industrial pretreatment programs—188 line items with estimated annual quantities ranging from single analyses to 15,000 tests, at awarded unit prices from $0 for calculated field measurements to $425 for specialized testing such as Cryptosporidium analysis. The California Department of Food and Agriculture issued IFB 25-0199 in March 2026 (deadline March 23, 2026) for pipette calibration and repair services at its Plant Pest Diagnostics Branch in Sacramento, covering 128 single-channel, 31 eight-channel, and 9 twelve-channel pipettes with a two-year contract term and mandatory DVBE participation goals. The County of Santa Clara issued RFI RFITSSFY260686 in April 2026 (deadline April 22, 2026) for a Public Health Lab Information Management Solution Replacement to support modern, scalable workflows. Three bids were received on the Palm Bay opportunity ranging from $80,872 to $107,946 annually; historical spending in that jurisdiction was $66,360 in 2024 and $95,440 in 2025.
