NIGP 27168: Nutritional Product IV Solutions: Amino Acids, Fat Emulsions, Protein Hydrolysate, etc.

NIGP 27168 Nutritional Product IV Solutions: Amino Acids, Fat Emulsions, Protein Hydrolysate, Etc., an Item code, covers intravenous nutritional supplements and parenteral nutrition components that state and local health systems, hospitals, and clinical facilities procure for patient care. These products include amino acid formulations, lipid emulsions, protein hydrolysates, and related IV nutrition solutions used in acute care, long-term care, and specialty medical settings where oral or enteral nutrition is not feasible. State and local purchasing organizations—primarily hospital systems, county health departments, and regional medical networks—buy these items through routine supply contracts and emergency procurement channels, often coordinating with GPOs (Group Purchasing Organizations) or leveraging state health-system cooperative purchasing agreements to standardize formularies and manage costs across multiple facilities.

The source provided does not include recent state and local contract opportunities under this code, and therefore does not support characterization of active issuing bodies, geographic concentration, or representative recent solicitations. When evaluating this code, monitor health system RFPs and IFBs for nutritional support products—particularly those issued by large county hospital systems and statewide Medicaid provider networks—and track cooperative purchasing vehicle updates through organizations like NASCOE (National Association of State Cooperative Procurement Organizations) and regional hospital consortiums, which often aggregate demand for clinical supplies across multiple jurisdictions.
