NIGP 20470: Picture Archiving Computer System (Pacs)

NIGP 20470 Picture Archiving Computer System (PACS), an Item code, encompasses digital repository and medical imaging software systems that state and local governments—particularly public health systems and medical centers—procure to archive, manage, retrieve, and integrate clinical and claims data. Recent solicitations show the code encompasses both specialized medical imaging archives and broader healthcare data repository solutions, with scope ranging from secure electronic claims and remittance filing systems to full LINAC (linear accelerator) imaging systems with associated software, training, and maintenance. Issuing bodies include county-operated public hospital systems (San Mateo County Medical Center), municipal water utilities adopting process control system integrations (City of Phoenix Water Services Department), independent health systems (Halifax Health in Florida), and state health departments (Texas HHSC). Work being solicited includes HIPAA-compliant secure archiving of claims data with search and export capability, process control system programming and integration for utility infrastructure, radiation oncology equipment procurement with implementation and clinical training, and cloud-based diagnostic imaging software with remote application support.

Recent activity appears concentrated in California and Texas, with sporadic solicitation in Florida and Arizona. The County of San Mateo issued an RFP (Solicitation 660002526235) on August 13, 2026 for an Archive Remit and Claim Repository due March 11, 2026, requiring $5,000,000 in Cyber Liability coverage and U.S.-based operations with five years of prior experience, with evaluation weighted toward project approach (30%), firm qualifications (25%), team qualifications (20%), and price (25%); the contract term is five years and exceeds the $200,000 threshold triggering prevailing wage and enhanced compliance. The Texas HHSC Procurement and Contracting Services division issued an IFB (HHS0017153) for PaxeraHealth cloud diagnostic software components in June 2026, with responses due April 6, 2026; the prior five-year incumbent contract was valued at $79,125.00. Halifax Health in Volusia County, Florida solicited Linear Accelerator systems, software, and implementation services via RFP (PROJ26093A) posted July 27, 2026 and due August 24, 2026, with no contract value or detailed specifications disclosed in available materials. No pre-bid meetings or site visits were scheduled for the San Mateo opportunity, though the Phoenix Water Services request included a pre-submittal meeting for June 2, 2026.
