NIGP 26924: Cardiovascular Drugs

NIGP 26924 Cardiovascular Drugs is an Item code under which state and local governments procure emergency cardiac and vasoconstrictive medications for first responder and hospital use. The actual buying activity under this code reflects two distinct operational needs: emergency medical services purchase specific injectable cardiovascular agents for prehospital and acute care deployment, while water and wastewater utilities occasionally source chemical additives and specialty compounds classified under the cardiovascular-drugs taxonomy for treatment processes. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal fire departments and emergency medical services, alongside occasional municipal utilities and special-purpose districts.

The Tampa Fire Rescue solicitation (Bid No. 26-P-00188, posted April 24, 2026, due April 8, 2026) represents the core use case: the City of Tampa's Purchasing Department sought 370 units of Labetalol HCI 100mg vials, 1,810 units of Epinephrine 1:10,000 injections, 330 units of Adenosine 6mg vials, and 1,020 units of Diltiazem 25mg vials for Tampa Fire Rescue in Hillsborough County, Florida, with a one-year contract term and renewal options available. The estimated contract value was $40,000.00, and the solicitation included a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered market designation with a 5 percent bid discount not to exceed $10,000. The second opportunity, the City of Orem's PROJECTNO230904 (posted September 3, 2026, due October 16, 2026), illustrates scope drift: Orem solicited proposals for a complete phosphorus control system for its water reclamation facility using chemical precipitation, a specialized industrial application tangentially related to the cardiovascular-drugs classification. Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Utah, with emergency medical services procurement dominating the traditional cardiovascular-drug buying pattern.
