NIGP 34094: Washing Equipment for Face Masks, etc.

NIGP 34094 Washing Equipment For Face Masks, Etc., an Item code, encompasses medical and specialized equipment procurement by state and local education and health agencies. The recent activity shows that governments under this code are purchasing dermatological and medical imaging equipment systems, fire protection inspection and maintenance services, and related technical goods — a scope that diverges significantly from the legacy NIGP descriptor and reflects the actual range of specialized medical and safety equipment being solicited today. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include school districts with facility-wide service and equipment needs; Hillsborough County Public Schools has posted multiple opportunities in the recent period. Small Business Enterprise participation is encouraged across the district's procurement, with evaluation weight granted to certified SBE utilization in applicable scopes.

Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida represents the primary recent activity. The district issued an ITQ on October 12, 2026 (due October 5, 2026) for Emage Medical dermafacial and imaging equipment, requiring vendors to demonstrate a minimum of three years' experience, maintain active Florida business registration, and quote firm pricing for one year on an FOB Destination basis. The same district simultaneously released an RFP (26349-RFP-MST, due October 5, 2026) for fire protection system services — inspection, maintenance, and repair of CO2 automatic fire extinguisher and sprinkler systems across 235 schools — with a structural separation-of-duties requirement mandating separate vendors for inspection and repair work and evaluation weighted 30 percent on qualifications and experience, 25 percent on specifications and scope, 35 percent on cost and value, and 10 percent on small business participation. Both opportunities require compliance with Florida coercion and foreign-country-of-concern affidavits, Jessica Lunsford Act background screening, and E-Verify employment verification.
