NIGP 26979: Recycled Drugs and Pharmaceuticals

NIGP 26979 Recycled Drugs And Pharmaceuticals, an Item code, encompasses state and local procurement of pharmaceutical waste management, drug deactivation systems, and related medication-handling services. Recent solicitations show governments buying naloxone (opioid reversal medication) in bulk quantities, safe drug deactivation and disposal systems, and on-site pharmacy services that include medication dispensing and pharmacy space management. The issuing bodies include state health agencies and county public health departments, reflecting procurement driven by community health initiatives, emergency response readiness, and regulatory compliance around controlled-substance handling.

Seminole County, Florida posted an IFB (IFB60459723LAS, due July 26, 2023) for annual procurement of 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building in Sanford, Florida. Texas posted an RFP (RFP104PHSL, due July 29, 2026) for on-site pharmacy services and pharmacy sublease, requiring Texas pharmacy licensure and state regulatory compliance. Recent activity clusters in Florida and Texas, with both solicitations emphasizing vendor compliance with drug-free workplace requirements, insurance, and federal regulations where applicable (including potential FEMA funding streams). Neither opportunity specifies estimated contract value or explicit set-aside designations in the available source material.
