NIGP 27121: Cell Processing Sets and Supplies

NIGP 27121 Cell Processing Sets And Supplies, an Item code, encompasses medical and first-aid consumables and related equipment that state and local governments procure for emergency response, healthcare delivery, and clinical operations. The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department recently solicited 169 line items of medical and emergency response supplies for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division through an IFB (Bid 26P00145), including respiratory equipment, cardiac monitoring electrodes, endotracheal tubes, airway devices, bandaging materials, oxygen delivery systems, gloves, and various medical consumables in quantities ranging from 2 specialty units to over 30,000 units for high-use supplies. The scope of recent procurement activity under this code reflects purchasing by municipal fire departments and public safety agencies seeking commodity-level medical supplies with firm pricing, bulk quantities, and delivery timelines measured in working days rather than project-based procurement.

The Tampa Fire Department solicitation represents current municipal demand under the code and closed on March 13, 2026, with an estimated contract value of $700,000.00. The procurement was designated as a sheltered market opportunity exclusively for certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs), with a 5 percent bid discount not to exceed $10,000 for qualified vendors certified prior to bid opening. Award was to be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder on a one-year term with two optional one-year renewals and potential City extension for up to three additional thirty-day periods, with all medications required to have expiration dates not less than nine months from acceptance and delivery required within five working days of purchase order receipt. The source reflects activity in Florida; no additional recent state or local opportunities under this code are present in the block to characterize broader geographic spread or issuing-body frequency.
