NIGP 26944: Enzymes

NIGP 26944 Enzymes, an Item code, encompasses specialized pharmaceutical preparations and delivery services that state and local governments procure for healthcare and correctional facilities. The work centers on parenteral products—primarily intravenous and nutritional solutions—along with the services required to prepare, dispense, and deliver them to end-user facilities on expedited schedules. State and local health departments, correctional facilities, and hospital systems are the primary issuing bodies under this code, typically managing contracts through RFQ and RFP processes that emphasize both clinical qualifications and supply-chain reliability.

The Washington State Department of Corrections is actively soliciting parenteral products, services, and equipment under RFQQK13020 (response due October 7, 2026) to supply eight correctional facilities across three regions—West, Central, and East—with parenteral nutrition solutions (TPN and PPN), intravenous solutions, and controlled substances for incarcerated individuals. The RFQ emphasizes rapid fulfillment (TPN bags within 24 hours of order, other products within 8 hours), documented experience in IV preparation and patient monitoring, and significant insurance requirements including $1 million in Commercial General Liability coverage and $2 million in Professional Liability coverage. DOC anticipates selecting multiple contractors (up to three per region) under an initial contract term from November 26, 2026 through June 30, 2030, with discretionary extensions available. The solicitation incorporates aspirational set-asides for small business (25%), minority-owned business (10%), women-owned business (6%), and veteran-owned business (5%), with a mandatory Subcontractor Inclusion Plan requirement for primes to identify qualified minority-owned, women-owned, and disadvantaged business partners.
