NIGP 41048: Nurses' Desks and Accessories

NIGP 41048 Nurses' Desks And Accessories is an Item code that captures occupational health and medical surveillance services delivered to state and local workforces — a narrower scope than the legacy NIGP title suggests. State and local governments solicit under this code for occupational medical examinations, baseline and periodic health screening, medical record management, and related occupational health program support aligned with state regulatory frameworks and HIPAA compliance. Issuing bodies span state transportation departments, county and municipal law enforcement agencies, and other public entities with ongoing occupational health and safety obligations. The work is typically sourced through RFP vehicles that establish multi-year contract terms with renewal options and cost-based or hybrid scoring methodologies.

Recent activity concentrates in Washington State and the Upper Midwest. The Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries issued RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with a response deadline of October 9, 2026; the scope includes baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members across 14 Washington locations, with a two-year initial term and options to extend up to five additional one-year periods. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP 061626 on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County with a June 16, 2026 response deadline; that solicitation establishes a law enforcement equipment contracting solution available to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, and public entities across the United States and Canada. Both opportunities reflect cooperative purchasing and multi-jurisdiction frameworks typical of state and local health and safety program procurement.
