NIGP 26096: X-Ray Equipment, Dental (for Chemicals and Film See Class 898): Film Mounts, Film Processors, Intensifying Screens, X-Ray Machines and Accessories

NIGP 26096 Dental X-Ray Equipment, an Item code, covers the procurement of intraoral scanners, panoramic imaging systems, digital diagnostic equipment, and related accessories for dental clinics, teaching institutions, and correctional health facilities. State and local governments solicit equipment and service-related deliverables under this code — scanners and panoramic units are typically purchased as sole-source or branded acquisitions paired with installation, training, and extended warranty support. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, county correction departments, college dental programs, and airport security operations; the mix spans educational institutions seeking diagnostic imaging for student training, correctional facilities requiring health services for inmates, and airport authorities operating security screening systems. Recent solicitations show demand for intraoral scanning technology (iTero Lumina units for digital impression capture), panoramic x-ray systems (VATECH PAX-I and ProMax S2 models), and specialized service contracts for equipment maintenance and extended warranty coverage on existing machines.
