NIGP 19380: Radioactive Diagnostic Reagents

NIGP 19380 Radioactive Diagnostic Reagents, an Item code, encompasses radioactive compounds and solutions used in diagnostic imaging and laboratory testing by state and local health departments, forensic agencies, and medical facilities. The code covers reagents and consumables for nuclear medicine procedures, radioisotope assays, and specialized diagnostic protocols where radioactive tracers are required for clinical or investigative purposes. State and local procurement under this code reflects narrow, specialized demand concentrated among public health laboratories, forensic science divisions, and hospital systems operated or funded by state and local governments.

The District of Columbia Department of Forensic Sciences posted a solicitation (DOC848245, RK332307) on September 22, 2026, for Next-Generation Sequencing consumables and reagents with a response deadline of September 28, 2026 as an RFQ or similar notice type. This is the only recent state and local opportunity on record under this code. The absence of additional posting activity across multiple states or issuing bodies suggests limited, episodic procurement demand under NIGP 19380 — pursuit should focus on tracking agency inventory cycles at state forensic labs, public health departments, and academic medical centers rather than anticipating sustained, recurring solicitation flow.
