NIGP 46523: Diagnostic Equipment, Minor: Headlights, Penlights, Percussion Hammers, Specula, Tourniquets (Blood Pressure), Tuning Forks, etc.

NIGP 46523 Diagnostic Equipment, Minor: Headlights, Penlights, Percussion Hammers, Specula, Tourniquets (Blood Pressure), Tuning Forks, Etc. is an Item code under which state and local governments procure physical examination services, pre-employment screening, and medical supplies through both direct service delivery and cooperative purchasing frameworks. Recent solicitations show the code covering pre-enrollment physical examinations conducted by licensed physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician's assistants; pre-employment polygraph examinations for law enforcement candidates; and master-agreement procurement for comprehensive medical supplies accessed by multiple jurisdictions via centralized frameworks. The issuing bodies span state departments (California Conservation Corps, California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, State of Idaho), local government cooperatives (Sourcewell on behalf of county and municipal entities), and specific municipal airports (City of Houston, Houston Airport System). California state agencies dominate recent activity, with multiple Conservation Corps centers and department divisions soliciting pre-enrollment physicals; Idaho is emerging as a hub for statewide cooperative medical-supply purchasing under NASPO ValuePoint.

Geographically, California shows the highest concentration of recent opportunities, with the California Conservation Corps alone posting separate IFBs for pre-enrollment physicals at four centers (Los Pinos, Tahoe, Camarillo, and Delta) between June and July 2026, each valued between $30,000 and $50,000. Idaho and South Dakota are administering NASPO ValuePoint cooperative medical-supplies RFPs (RFP 1433, due November 9, 2026) open to all participating states, representing framework procurement for distribution across multiple jurisdictions. The City of Houston posted a specific solicitation (INF20260420, due October 12, 2026) for one HealthBOT 2000 Health Station Kiosk with twelve-month service and maintenance. Sourcewell (Minnesota) issued a law-enforcement equipment RFP (061626, due June 16, 2026) on behalf of participating entities including Washington-state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima), expanding the scope nationally. Representative opportunities include the California Conservation Corps pre-enrollment physical contracts available through direct IFB, the NASPO ValuePoint medical supplies master-agreement framework establishing pricing for multi-state access, and the Sourcewell cooperative procurement expanding law-enforcement diagnostic and examination capacity across thousands of public entities nationwide.
