NIGP 46534: Electrosurgical and Laser Surgery Instruments and Accessories

NIGP 46534 Electrosurgical and Laser Surgery Instruments and Accessories, an Item code, encompasses laser equipment and associated technical support services for surgical applications in hospital operating rooms and acute-care facilities. State and local governments procure this code primarily through county health systems and public hospital operators seeking to acquire or refresh surgical laser equipment, install and maintain such systems, and staff qualified technicians to support OR operations. The scope includes laser equipment suitable for surgical procedures, installation and maintenance services, technical staffing capability, and compliance with healthcare-specific requirements including HIPAA, corporate compliance standards, Section 504 accessibility, and background clearance for personnel assigned to clinical environments.

San Mateo County Medical Center, a fully accredited public hospital and clinic system, posted an RFP on May 13, 2026 (solicitation number 666002526250) seeking proposals for laser equipment and OR technician support, with proposals due by June 10, 2026; this represents the primary recent activity in the code. The County of San Mateo required vendors to demonstrate expertise in laser equipment installation, maintenance, and technical staffing while meeting the Living Wage Ordinance and corporate compliance standards. Geographic activity remains limited to the recent San Mateo County opportunity; no additional state or local jurisdictions appear in the available procurement records for this code. The absence of other recent solicitations suggests limited current demand across state and local health systems for standalone laser equipment and technical services procurement, though this may reflect infrequent replacement cycles and the specialized nature of surgical laser procurement.
