NIGP 46544: Hemodialysis Equipment and Accessories

NIGP 46544 Hemodialysis Equipment and Accessories is an Item code covering dialysis machines, vascular access devices, dialysis solutions, bloodline sets, filters, and related consumables and accessories that state and local health departments, hospitals, correctional facilities, and public health agencies procure for end-stage renal disease treatment programs and inmate medical services. The code sees solicitation activity primarily through state cooperative purchasing vehicles and framework agreements that pool demand across multiple jurisdictions and entity types, allowing vendors to establish pricing and terms for distribution to participating public agencies over defined contract periods. Issuing bodies range from state health departments sponsoring cooperative vehicles to county and municipal health authorities and special-purpose districts managing dialysis services; the activity reflects a mix of direct-purchase solicitations and cooperative procurement structures that serve hundreds of participating entities simultaneously.

Recent activity centers on cooperative purchasing frameworks. The NASPO ValuePoint RFP NVP_1443 posted by Texas on behalf of Idaho state agencies and participating NASPO ValuePoint entities as of October 6, 2026 (response due November 9, 2026) covers medical supplies across multiple product categories including dialysis equipment and accessories, with vendors required to provide comprehensive product catalogs and competitive unit pricing structures. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit, issued RFP 061626 in May 2026 (response due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment that, while primarily focused on law enforcement needs, demonstrates the cooperative purchasing model used across public procurement. The geographic spread of recent activity includes Idaho, Texas, and Minnesota as sponsoring or administrative jurisdictions, with participation extending across multiple states through cooperative purchasing frameworks. Set-asides or preferences for small business entities or state-based vendors may apply under state policy, though specific designations are not detailed in current solicitation materials.
