NIGP 27163: Mannitol Solutions

NIGP 27163 Mannitol Solutions, an Item code, covers osmotic diuretic pharmaceutical preparations in solution form that state and local governments procure primarily for emergency medical services, hospitals, and correctional health systems. Mannitol solutions reduce intracranial pressure and treat cerebral edema in acute medical settings, and are sourced through routine pharmaceutical supply contracts rather than specialized solicitations. Issuing bodies include state health departments, county hospitals, municipal emergency services, and independent school districts with on-site medical facilities, though the code sees limited standalone procurement activity — most acquisitions occur as line items within broader pharmaceutical or medical-supply agreements managed by state formulary programs, GPOs, or cooperative purchasing vehicles such as state healthcare consortia.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities posted under NIGP 27163 Mannitol Solutions. Without posted RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices in the current pipeline, direct pursuit of this code carries minimal near-term opportunity signal. Business development should monitor state pharmaceutical cooperative purchasing frameworks and healthcare system prime-vendor agreements where mannitol solutions typically consolidate, and track formulary updates from large state Medicaid agencies and hospital systems in high-volume jurisdictions, as these vehicles often control acquisition across multiple smaller end-users.
