NIGP 19385: Recycled Clinical Laboratory Reagents and Tests

NIGP 19385 Recycled Clinical Laboratory Reagents and Tests, an Item code, covers the procurement of reprocessed diagnostic reagents and testing materials that state and local governments source for clinical laboratory operations. State and local procurement activity under this code remains sparse. Recent opportunities do not surface in public state and local procurement databases, indicating minimal current solicitation velocity under this specific Item designation.

The lack of documented recent opportunities suggests that recycled clinical laboratory reagents and tests represent either a niche procurement category within the broader clinical supplies market or a segment where state and local health systems default to new-product sourcing through established vendor relationships rather than competitive solicitation. Without active opportunities to reference, geographic concentration and issuing-body mix cannot be characterized from current market signals.
