NIGP 46525: Diagnostic Equipment, Electronic (Not Otherwise Itemized)

NIGP 46525 Diagnostic Equipment, Electronic (Not Otherwise Itemized), an Item code, encompasses specialized medical diagnostic and monitoring devices that state and local governments procure for healthcare facilities, law enforcement, and public safety operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring automated external defibrillators with accessories and batteries, ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems, rapid DNA analysis supplies and services, multi-well wipe test counters for nuclear medicine, bariatric scales, durable medical equipment systems, and ultrasound platforms—a mix reflecting healthcare facility needs, forensic laboratory operations, and emergency response capabilities across diverse jurisdictions.

State health departments, county school districts, state attorneys general, and healthcare systems dominate recent activity under the code. Cobb County School District (Georgia) issued two separate RFQs for AED equipment, batteries, and accessories with approximately $50,000 estimated expenditure each in June and July 2026. The State of California Health and Human Services has posted multiple brand-specific RFBs for medical equipment including ophthalmic ultrasound systems, bariatric scales, and durable medical equipment, all requiring Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) certification and HIPAA Business Associate Agreement compliance. The Utah Office of Attorney General's Investigation Division pursued a sole-source contract with ANDE Corporation for rapid DNA supplies and analysis services valued at $67,600. Collier County, Florida issued a notice of intent to single source EchoNous, Inc. for ultrasound equipment and a 5-year warranty. Sourcewell, on behalf of Minnesota and participating Pacific Northwest jurisdictions, issued RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment. Geographic spread centers on California, Georgia, Utah, and Florida, with cooperative purchasing initiatives extending to the Pacific Northwest. The code sees routine activity from healthcare procurement offices and school district emergency preparedness operations, with brand-specific and sole-source determinations appearing frequently, particularly for diagnostic imaging and specialized forensic or medical platforms where vendor-specific compatibility or FDA approval constraints limit competition.
