NIGP 27104: Administration Sets and IV Additive Accessories

NIGP 27104 Administration Sets and IV Additive Accessories, an Item code, covers procurement of intravenous solution sets, IV connectors, medications for IV administration (such as dextrose, sodium chloride, and magnesium sulfate), and related consumables used in emergency medical and healthcare operations. State and local governments—primarily fire-rescue departments, county health agencies, and municipal emergency services—buy these supplies through competitive bidding processes (ITB and IFB notices) to support paramedic and advanced life support operations. Vendors must typically hold current medical supply licensing or wholesaler credentials, comply with E-Verify employment verification, and maintain appropriate insurance coverage including workers' compensation and commercial general liability. Many jurisdictions emphasize participation by women and minority business enterprises (WMBE) and small local business enterprises (SLBE), offering bid discounts up to 5 percent for certified vendors.

Recent procurement activity centers in Florida, where Seminole County posted IFB 60459723LAS in June 2026 seeking 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually with quarterly deliveries and a response deadline of July 26, 2023, and the City of Tampa's Fire Rescue Department issued ITB 25-P-00033 in March 2026 for Advanced Life Support Solutions and IV Sets—encompassing IV solution sets, sodium chloride irrigation solution, dextrose solutions, magnesium sulfate, and IV connectors—with a December 18, 2024 deadline and a total department budget of $90,000. Both solicitations require electronic bid submission, include compliance with federal regulations (such as FEMA adherence when applicable, OSHA Hazard Communication Standards, and the Clean Air Act), and allow for multi-year contracts with renewal options. Pricing is typically structured on a fixed-fee or unit-cost basis with allowances for CPI-U adjustments after the first contract year.
