NIGP 46511: Blood Pressure and Blood Flow Detection Equipment: Dopplers, Sphygmomanometers, Stethoscopes, etc.

NIGP 46511 Blood Pressure and Blood Flow Detection Equipment: Dopplers, Sphygmomanometers, Stethoscopes, etc. is an Item code under which state and local governments procure medical diagnostic and monitoring devices for healthcare facilities, emergency services, correctional institutions, and airport health operations. Recent solicitations show procurement of both standalone diagnostic equipment and integrated health-monitoring kiosks bundled with installation and service. Issuing bodies include city airport systems, state cooperative purchasing consortiums (NASPO ValuePoint), and regional law-enforcement and public-entity cooperatives. The code encompasses equipment ranging from traditional hand-held blood pressure monitors and stethoscopes to advanced automated health station kiosks deployed in public facilities.

The City of Houston, Houston Airport System solicited a HealthBOT 2000 Health Station Kiosk with twelve months of service and maintenance, with proposals due October 12, 2026, through the Beacon Bid platform. NASPO ValuePoint, administrated by South Dakota and sponsored by Idaho state agencies, issued RFP 1433 for medical supplies on a cooperative-purchasing vehicle available to state and local governments across multiple states, with proposals due November 9, 2026. Texas also participated in the NASPO ValuePoint RFP NVP_1443 for Idaho Medical Supplies, establishing a framework for medical supply distribution to participating public entities. The recent opportunities reflect geographic activity concentrated in Texas, Idaho, and multi-state cooperative purchasing channels. While the source includes a Collin County, Texas IFB for sprinkler-head replacement at a correctional facility (due November 19, 2026), that solicitation falls outside the scope of blood pressure and blood flow detection equipment and does not represent typical activity under this code.
