NIGP 43516: Detergent, Surgical Scrub, All Types

NIGP 43516 Detergent, Surgical Scrub, All Types, an Item code, covers surgical scrub products and antimicrobial hand-cleansing agents purchased by state and local health systems, hospitals, clinics, and related medical facilities. State and local governments procure surgical scrubs in various formulations—including chlorhexidine gluconate, povidone-iodine, and alcohol-based solutions—for preoperative and perioperative hand hygiene protocols. Issuing bodies range from state health departments and county hospital systems to municipal clinics and regional medical centers, with health system purchasing offices as the primary procurement drivers.

No recent state or local contract opportunities under this code appear in the available procurement record. Activity under NIGP 43516 tends to occur through standing purchasing agreements, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and routine supply orders rather than as posted solicitations, making the code's current market visibility limited in the state and local notice stream.
