NIGP 19392: Urine and Spinal Fluid Controls, Normal and Abnormal

NIGP 19392 Urine And Spinal Fluid Controls, Normal And Abnormal is an Item code encompassing quality-control materials used in clinical laboratory testing — specifically reference specimens and controls for urinalysis and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis. State and local governments procure these products primarily through public health laboratories, hospital systems, and clinical pathology departments that perform diagnostic testing. The controls serve as known-value standards to verify the accuracy and reliability of laboratory instruments and procedures before patient samples are tested, ensuring compliance with Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) standards and internal quality-assurance protocols.

No recent state and local solicitations appear in available procurement records for this Item code, indicating minimal activity in the public contracting market during the current period. Procurement under 19392 typically occurs through standing contracts, cooperative purchasing vehicles, or routine supply agreements rather than competitive bidding, and may be captured under broader laboratory supply or clinical reagent categories in some jurisdictions.
