NIGP 26920: Blood Formation and Coagulation

NIGP 26920 Blood Formation and Coagulation is an Item code under which state and local governments procure specialized water treatment chemicals and related supplies. Recent solicitations show two distinct work streams: activated carbon products for municipal water treatment plants, and law enforcement equipment supplied through cooperative purchasing vehicles. The code draws issuing bodies from state environmental agencies, county governments, and cooperative purchasing organizations serving multi-jurisdictional consortia of cities, counties, special districts, and K–12 school districts.

Activity appears concentrated in the upper Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions. The Maryland Environmental Service issued a competitive sealed bid (IFB) in September 2026 for Del PAC 2020 activated carbon by the pound, with delivery to Frostburg Water Treatment Plant and a response deadline of October 28, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted an RFP in May 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment (#061626, due June 16, 2026) on behalf of multiple Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and participating entities across the United States and Canada, with vendor submission required through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov. The Sourcewell vehicle is designed to establish a framework contract available for future use by thousands of public entities nationally, indicating the cooperative model is being used to aggregate demand across broad jurisdictional and organizational types.
