NIGP 20570: Picture Archiving Computer System (Pacs), Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 20570 Picture Archiving Computer System (PACS), Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code covering secure digital archive and repository systems for healthcare and administrative records, as demonstrated by recent state and local solicitations focused on claims and remittance storage with retrieval, export, and regulatory compliance capabilities. State and local governments procuring under this code seek vendors capable of managing large-scale electronic data repositories with strict security, data-retention, and accessibility requirements. The issuing bodies include county health systems and county procurement offices acquiring both specialized repository software and enterprise hardware support on an as-needed basis. San Mateo County Medical Center, a public hospital system, recently issued an RFP for an Archive Remit and Claim Repository to store electronic health claims and remittances in standard and non-standard formats with searchable retrieval, export functionality, and mandatory HIPAA compliance, Okta integration via SAML v.2.0 protocol, and $5 million in cyber liability insurance. Pasco County simultaneously requested bids for enterprise-class computer hardware and maintenance services to support such systems.

Recent activity concentrates in California, where San Mateo County's RFP (Solicitation 660002526235, due March 11, 2026) signals sustained procurement momentum in healthcare data archiving with five-year contract terms and local preference ordinance protections for small and local vendors. The San Mateo opportunity emphasizes project approach and firm qualifications in evaluation, with questions due February 25, 2026 and proposals submitted via eProcurement portal by March 11 at 1:00 p.m. Proposers must meet U.S.-based staffing requirements, demonstrate five years of experience in similar services, comply with living wage ordinances and prevailing wage requirements, and carry specialized insurance. Pasco County's RFQ (RFQSP26105, posted June 16, 2026, due June 23, 2026) reflects broader county demand for hardware acquisition frameworks supporting healthcare IT infrastructure. No incumbent vendor is identified in the San Mateo solicitation documents.
