NIGP 19352: Enzyme Immunoassay Reagents

NIGP 19352 Enzyme Immunoassay Reagents, an Item code, encompasses laboratory consumables and supplies that support diagnostic testing operations at state and local health departments and laboratory facilities. Recent procurement activity under this code shows state agencies sourcing insulated shipping containers and temperature-control products essential for specimen transport to testing laboratories. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), procuring on behalf of the Department of State Health Services Laboratory, represents the primary issuing body visible in current market activity, conducting competitive sealed bids for standardized laboratory logistics supplies that support cholesterol, glucose, hepatitis, HIV, COVID, and influenza testing workflows.

Texas dominates recent activity, with HHSC posting two iterations of the same insulated shipper and cold pack procurement—the original IFB HHS0017406 (due July 6, 2026) and its amended version HHS0017406V2 (due August 5, 2026)—each requesting firm, fixed per-case pricing for Sonoco Thermosafe Mailer multipurpose insulated shippers (30 cases annually) and Sonoco Thermosafe Polar Pack gel packs (60 cases annually) with a historical annual spend benchmark of $35,000. Both solicitations awarded under single or multiple award authority with contract terms spanning September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 and up to four renewal options through August 31, 2031, with price adjustments tied to Consumer Price Index formula or federal minimum wage increases. Vendor selection favors bidders demonstrating specification compliance, reliable delivery capability between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on specified dates, and competitive pricing submitted on mandatory pricing sheets.
