NIGP 19340: Diagnostic Reagents and Tests (for Diseases, Pregnancy, etc.): Cards, Slides, Spot Tests, Strips, Tablets, etc.

NIGP 19340, Diagnostic Reagents And Tests (For Diseases, Pregnancy, Etc.): Cards, Slides, Spot Tests, Strips, Tablets, Etc., is an Item code under which state and local governments procure infectious-disease and drug-screening test supplies — particularly rapid HIV test kits, sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing reagents and controls, and drugs-of-abuse analyzer consumables. Recent solicitations show state health departments, county health services, county criminal justice and supervision agencies, cities, and specialized state laboratories buying these products through both emergency sole-source procurements and competitive invitation-for-bid and request-for-proposal cycles. The Illinois Department of Public Health has emerged as a repeat buyer, issuing emergency procurements and change orders for Abbott HIV/Syphilis reagents and Hologic NG/CT STI testing kits and collection supplies at the state laboratory level. County governments in Texas (Collin County, Gwinnett County in Georgia) are soliciting drug-testing supplies and general laboratory diagnostic services that include rapid screening. The City of Austin has posted multiple competitive bids for Abbott Determine HIV rapid test kits serving public health programs.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, Georgia, and Florida, with no clear geographic clustering — activity spans both large urban jurisdictions and state-level laboratories. Representative recent opportunities include the Illinois Department of Public Health's change order (IFB, October 13, 2026 response) to increase annual NG/CT STI test volumes from 15,000 to 25,000 tests and kit volumes from 15,000 to 30,000 units under an existing Hologic reagent rental contract, raising the five-year cost by $375,000 to $900,000 total; Collin County Community Supervision and Corrections Department's RFP (2026-327, due July 23, 2026) for offender specimen collection and drug-testing services across two sites with approximately 25,031 annual tests at an estimated $600,000 contract value; the City of Austin's competitive IFB for Abbott Determine HIV rapid test kits (IFB 9100 AAM1023REBID, due September 3, 2026) supporting public health programs; and Illinois Department of Public Health's emergency sole-source procurement of Abbott HIV/Syphilis reagents and calibrators for the Carbondale Laboratory at $38,079.50. Emergency and sole-source activity driven by exclusive manufacturer status and regulated laboratory infrastructure is common in this code.
