NIGP 20470: Picture Archiving Computer System (Pacs)

NIGP 20470 Picture Archiving Computer System (PACS), an Item code, covers specialized imaging and health information system software and services that state and local governments procure for clinical and operational data management. State and local health systems are acquiring turnkey PACS software solutions with integrated diagnostic viewers, gateway and broker modules, radiology information system (RIS) components, and associated training and support—typically cloud-based, remotely delivered, and priced on fixed or percentage-discount bases. Issuing bodies include state health departments and their constituent facilities (such as the Texas Department of State Health Services), county public hospital systems (San Mateo Medical Center), and other health or technology procurement arms of local government. The scope extends beyond traditional imaging archives to encompass electronic claims and remittance repositories, control system integration for process automation, and broad technology equipment and services catalogs under district-wide frameworks.
