NIGP 22055: Recycled Recording, Controlling and Indicating Instruments and Supplies

NIGP 22055 Recycled Recording, Controlling And Indicating Instruments And Supplies is an Item code covering certified reference materials and standards used in forensic laboratory operations, specifically drug reference standards required for method validation and analysis of evidentiary samples in criminal investigations. State and local governments procure these materials through law enforcement and forensic laboratory agencies that conduct toxicology and seized drug analysis. The work involves sourcing high-purity reference compounds with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 17034:2016 accreditation, certificates of analysis, and purity specifications exceeding 97% for solid materials. Issuing bodies include county forensic laboratories operating under state law enforcement oversight, such as the Pinellas County Forensic Laboratory working in partnership with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. These procurements are often funded through federal grants such as the Paul Coverdell Forensic Sciences Improvement Act Program, which carries compliance requirements for federal regulations, civil rights adherence, and five-year record retention.
