NIGP 46504: Biofeedback Equipment and Supplies

NIGP 46504 Biofeedback Equipment And Supplies, an Item code, covers biofeedback devices and related supplies that state and local governments procure as part of broader medical equipment and rehabilitation services. The code appears in state-level rehabilitation and healthcare procurement, where biofeedback equipment supports clients with traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other conditions requiring therapeutic intervention. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments managing comprehensive rehabilitation programs. The scope encompasses biofeedback devices themselves and the associated services required to deliver them — home evaluation, in-home delivery with instruction, emergency repair and replacement within 24 hours, maintenance of loaner equipment during extended service, and comprehensive client education with documented training acknowledgment.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) issued RFP HHS0017173 on May 4, 2026, seeking Master Contracts for Durable Medical Equipment and Services under its Comprehensive Rehabilitation Services program across eleven geographic service regions throughout Texas; biofeedback devices are one of eleven DME categories in the procurement, with proposals due June 2, 2026. The contract term extends through August 31, 2031, with one optional one-year extension; historical compensation is approximately $1,000,000 per state fiscal year, with total cumulative compensation capped at $5,000,000. The solicitation requires current medical device manufacturer or distributor licensees with at least two years in business and specified certifications by category; pricing must not exceed CMS DMEPOS competitive bidding program fee schedules. The procurement includes a 21.1 percent HUB utilization goal with mandatory HUB Subcontracting Plans regardless of respondent certification status. Texas is the identified recent activity under this code.
