NIGP 34584: Resuscitators and Parts (Including Portable Rescue Units)

NIGP 34584 Resuscitators and Parts (Including Portable Rescue Units), an Item code, encompasses respiratory equipment, cardiac monitoring devices, airway management supplies, and emergency medical equipment being procured by state health agencies, county emergency medical services systems, and municipal fire departments to support emergency response and patient care operations. State and local governments are buying this code to stock rescue units, ambulance services, and trauma rehabilitation programs — work that ranges from one-time equipment acquisition for new ambulances to ongoing consumable replenishment for high-volume emergency response divisions. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies managing rehabilitation programs, county EMS agencies operating ambulance services, and municipal fire departments supporting rescue operations. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Tuolumne County (California) EMS Agency both appear as recent buyers in this space, with the Texas procurement managing DME for traumatic brain and spinal cord injury rehabilitation across eleven service regions, while Tuolumne County's RFP structures ambulance service operations as a turnkey ground transport contract with specific equipment and staffing requirements.

Recent solicitation activity spans Texas and California. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued RFP HHS0017173 in May 2026 seeking master contracts for durable medical equipment and services, including respiratory supplies and CPAP devices, with a proposal due date of June 2, 2026 and contract value capped at $5 million across the five-year term; this procurement carries a 21.1 percent HUB utilization goal. The City of Tampa Purchasing Department solicited sealed bids (ITB 26P00145) for medical and first aid supplies, including respiratory equipment and airway devices, due March 13, 2026, with an estimated contract amount of $700,000 and a sheltered-market set-aside for certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs). Tuolumne County's Health and Human Services Agency issued RFP 20250101 in March 2026 for ground ambulance service operations across a five-county region, with proposals due February 13, 2026; the contract reimburses the operator on a monthly basis tied to actual unit hours deployed. These three opportunities show activity concentrated in state health departments, county emergency services authorities, and municipal fire procurement offices.
