NIGP 46513: Cardiac Pacemakers, Heart Valves, Stints, etc.

NIGP 46513 Cardiac Pacemakers, Heart Valves, Stents, Etc., Item code, encompasses therapeutic and medical equipment rental services that state and local governments procure for healthcare delivery in secure and public settings. Recent solicitations show the code in practice covers a broad range of medical equipment deployment — not cardiac devices alone, but infusion pumps, patient monitors, oxygen concentrators, bariatric and mobility aids, and specialized mattresses that correctional health systems and law enforcement agencies require. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and California Correctional Health Care Services (CDCR/CCHCS) dominate recent activity under this code, posting multiple Invitations for Bid (IFB) for therapeutic patient care equipment rental services across 29 correctional institutions. Beyond corrections, Sourcewell — a Minnesota local government cooperative — recently issued an RFP for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating county and municipal entities across Washington state and beyond, indicating the code also captures equipment procurement for law enforcement operations.

Issuing-body activity clusters around state correctional health systems and regional purchasing cooperatives serving multiple county and municipal jurisdictions. California shows the most concentrated recent activity, with CDCR/CCHCS posting IFB #SD25-00040 (due May 13, 2026) and follow-on IFB #SD25-00047 (due June 3, 2026), both for three-year rental contracts beginning July 1, 2026, requiring 24/7 delivery with maximum 24-hour response times, online ordering portals, repair services, and full equipment maintenance across hundreds of units. Both California solicitations target certified small businesses (5 percent preference) and disabled veteran business enterprises (1–5 percent incentive) and require $1 million in general liability and automobile liability insurance. The Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) extends geographic reach into Washington state and participating jurisdictions nationwide, structured as a cooperative contracting vehicle to establish framework agreements for use by thousands of governmental entities, higher education institutions, school districts, and tribal governments.
