NIGP 26948: Expectorants, Antitussives, and Mucolytic Agents

NIGP 26948 Expectorants, Antitussives, and Mucolytic Agents is an Item code that frames state and local procurement of parenteral pharmaceutical products and drug-related public health supplies — though recent solicitations show the code capturing a broader scope than the legacy NIGP name suggests. The Washington State Department of Corrections is procuring parenteral nutrition solutions (TPN and PPN), intravenous solutions, and other parenteral products including controlled substances for healthcare delivery to incarcerated individuals, with bids due October 7, 2026 under RFQ RFQQK13020. Simultaneously, Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB on June 30, 2026 for 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually through a two-year contract with a one-year renewal option. Both solicitations reflect state agencies and county health departments buying pharmaceutical and medical supplies for correctional healthcare, community health, and public safety applications. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and county health systems, with an emphasis on emergency response and substance-abuse mitigation services.

Geographic activity spans Washington and Florida in the recent record. The Washington State Department of Corrections opportunity delivers parenteral products to eight correctional facilities across three regions (West, Central, and East), with the department anticipating multiple awards of up to three contractors per region and initial contract performance through June 30, 2030. Seminole County's naloxone procurement delivers quarterly to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, with a two-year initial term. The Washington solicitation encourages small business (25%), minority-owned business (10%), women-owned business (6%), and veteran-owned business (5%) participation under state set-aside programs, requires Washington State business licensure and NCIC clearance, and mandates Commercial General Liability ($1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate), Professional Liability ($2 million per occurrence / aggregate), Business Automobile Liability ($1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate), and Cyber Liability ($2 million per occurrence / aggregate) coverage naming DOC and the State of Washington as additional insureds. Pricing is firm for 150 days following receipt in Washington; the Seminole County contract uses fixed-fee pricing with federal compliance requirements tied to potential FEMA funding.
