About NIGP 260
NIGP 260 Dental Equipment and Supplies is a Class code under which state and local governments procure consumable and durable dental supplies, instruments, loupes, prosthetics, smallwares, and related equipment for educational programs, correctional facilities, public health clinics, and workforce development initiatives. Recent solicitations show demand for dental hygiene supplies in bulk (disposables, instruments, sterilization materials, PPE), specialized optics and lighting systems for dental education programs, prosthetic fabrication and repair services for correctional and clinical settings, and equipment such as curing lights, ultrasonic scalers, and model trimmers for vocational training. The issuing bodies span community colleges and vocational schools (Pikes Peak State College, Hudson Valley Community College, Bristol Community College, New Castle County Vocational Technical School District), state departments (Colorado Department of Corrections, New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services), county health systems (San Mateo Medical Center), independent school districts (Granite School District, Klein ISD), and state correctional agencies. Community colleges and vocational programs are repeat buyers under this code, driven by accreditation requirements and student-cohort training cycles tied to academic calendars.
Recent activity clusters in Massachusetts, Colorado, New Hampshire, New York, and Florida. Representative solicitations include Hudson Valley Community College's sealed-bid procurement for 199 line items of dental hygiene consumables (due July 13, 2026, IFB BID4035); Pikes Peak State College's documented quote for dental loupes with LED headlights and one-year warranty (due July 21, 2026, RFQ DQ1GJJA20270000142); Bristol Community College's RFP for 22 sets of dental optics loupes with lifetime frame guarantee and two-year headlight warranty for incoming dental students (RFP M-22-26, due June 2, 2026); and Colorado Department of Corrections' IFB for dental prosthetics fabrication and repair across 15 correctional facilities on an as-needed basis averaging 21 cases monthly, with service-disabled veteran small business preference and five-percent bid advantage (IFB 2026000169, due May 15, 2026). The New Hampshire state dental supplies RFB (RFB 3107-26, due February 11, 2026) awards up to three contracts through April 30, 2031, with two optional two-year extensions, and requires web-based ordering, ten-day delivery windows, and service response times. Price remains the dominant evaluation factor in most awards; product quality, delivery timeliness, and vendor experience with educational or healthcare institutions are secondary considerations. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available in Colorado and New Hampshire to extend awards to other state agencies and political subdivisions.
