NIGP 26031: Electrosurgery Units, Dental

NIGP 26031 Electrosurgery Units, Dental is an Item code capturing digital intraoral scanning equipment and specialized surgical extraction systems that state and local health care providers and educational institutions procure for clinical and educational use. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying advanced 3D dental imaging devices, orthopedic hardware removal systems for acute-care hospital surgical programs, and law enforcement equipment through cooperative purchasing vehicles. The issuing bodies span educational institutions (Valencia College's dental hygiene program), county hospital systems (San Mateo Medical Center), and state cooperative purchasing units acting on behalf of multiple participating counties and jurisdictions. The scope encompasses sole-source acquisitions of specialized dental scanners, multi-year service contracts for orthopedic extraction systems with technical support requirements across specific regions, and framework agreements for law enforcement equipment distribution to thousands of public entities.

Recent activity appears concentrated in California and the Pacific Northwest, with a notable cooperative procurement through Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit) serving participating counties in Washington state and broader public sector participation nationwide. Valencia College, in Florida, posted a sole-source procurement (SS202620) for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc, totaling $143,196.00, due November 27, 2025, under Florida Statute 287.057. San Mateo Medical Center in California issued an RFP (666002526252) for orthopedic hardware removal and extraction system services on an as-needed basis with a three-year contract term, due July 1, 2026, requiring ISO 13485:2016 certification and $5,000,000 cyber liability coverage; the procurement offers a 5 to 10 percent local-business preference under San Mateo County ordinance. Sourcewell released an RFP (#061626) for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating Washington counties and broader public entities, with responses due June 16, 2026, through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal.
