NIGP 19318: Blood Coagulation Reagents and Controls (for Fibrinogen, Fibrin (Ogen) Split Products, Prothrombin Time, etc.)

NIGP 19318 Blood Coagulation Reagents and Controls is an Item code covering diagnostic reagents and quality-control materials used in laboratory coagulation testing — including fibrinogen assays, fibrin split product detection, prothrombin time (PT) measurement, and related hemostasis panels. State and local health departments, hospital systems, clinical laboratories, and medical examiner offices procure these materials to support routine patient blood-work screening, anticoagulation monitoring, and forensic or toxicology investigations. Purchase volumes typically align with testing throughput; larger health systems and regional laboratory networks tend to consolidate buys, while smaller county clinics and urgent-care networks often procure in smaller quantities through standing agreements or spot purchases.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities under this code. Without posted solicitations in the most-recent-opportunities block, characterization of issuing-body concentration, geographic spread, and current market activity cannot be supported. Firms tracking this code should monitor state purchasing portals and health-department procurement channels for RFPs or ITBs from clinical laboratory service providers and public health agencies, particularly in states with centralized hospital procurement systems or cooperative purchasing arrangements that bundle testing-supply buys across multiple jurisdictions.
