NIGP 27188: Specialty and Custom-Made Sets and Equipment (Not Otherwise Itemized)

NIGP 27188 Specialty and Custom-Made Sets and Equipment (Not Otherwise Itemized), an Item code, encompasses mission-critical health and emergency-response supply sets that state and local governments procure for specialized operational use. Recent solicitations show this code capturing pharmaceutical packaging supplies, naloxone and drug-deactivation system kits, and emergency medical and first aid supply packages—assembled collections of specialized items purchased as integrated units rather than individual commodities. The issuing bodies span county health departments, state agencies managing pharmacy operations, and municipal fire and rescue divisions, each buying custom or vendor-specific equipment sets to support their operational missions.

Seminole County, Florida posted IFB 60459723LAS in June 2026 to procure 1,900 units of naloxone and 800 safe drug deactivation systems annually with quarterly deliveries to its Community Health Building. The Illinois Department of Human Services, Bureau of Pharmacy and Clinical Support Services, issued a sole-source notice (27444DHS444OCB51643) in March 2026 for pharmaceutical packaging supplies—ATP ribbon and paper—to maintain proprietary equipment across twelve statewide pharmacy locations, with a contract value not to exceed $400,000.00 and delivery required July 1, 2026. The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department released ITB 26-P-00145 in March 2026 for 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, with an estimated contract amount of $700,000.00 and a sealed-bid deadline of March 13, 2026; this procurement was sheltered as a Small Local Business Enterprise set-aside with a 5% bid discount capped at $10,000. Activity concentrates in Florida and Illinois, with recent work reflecting both consumable-replenishment cycles (naloxone, medical supplies) and specialized-equipment-maintenance supply streams (proprietary pharmaceutical packaging materials).
