NIGP 26908: Anti-Infective Agents

NIGP 26908 Anti-Infective Agents is an Item code under which state and local governments procure pharmaceutical products, chemical systems for water treatment and nutrient control, and medical countermeasure supplies — principally antibiotics, opioid antagonists, and drug-disposal technologies deployed across public health, wastewater management, and emergency response functions. Recent solicitations show state health departments, counties, and municipalities purchasing these products either as standalone pharmaceutical supplies or as integrated equipment systems within larger infrastructure projects. The City of Orem, Utah, for example, is soliciting a complete phosphorus control system incorporating chemical feed mechanisms and process equipment for wastewater treatment, while Seminole County, Florida, is procuring naloxone and drug deactivation systems for community health distribution. State departments and county health authorities appear to be the primary buyers, often leveraging cooperative purchasing consortia such as MMCAP Infuse to aggregate volume and secure pricing on antibiotics and other anti-infective pharmaceutical inventory.

Recent activity spans Utah, Florida, and Illinois. The City of Orem's RFP for the phosphorus control system closes October 16, 2026, with equipment delivery required within six months of notice of award and a one-year warranty obligation from the supplier. The Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a piggyback pharmaceutical contract to Chartwell Rx LLC for doxycycline hyclate and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride totaling $2,999,999.11 over the contract life, selected through competitive invitation for bid via the MMCAP Infuse consortium. Seminole County's IFB for 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 drug deactivation systems annually calls for quarterly deliveries with an initial two-year term and one-year renewal option. These procurements reflect both steady-state pharmaceutical inventory replenishment at the state and county level and occasional capital procurement of specialized equipment that integrates anti-infective or drug-control chemical processes into public infrastructure.
