NIGP 46564: Operating Room Equipment (Not Furniture)

NIGP 46564 Operating Room Equipment (Not Furniture) is an Item code encompassing surgical instruments, power equipment, and specialized OR devices that state and local hospitals and medical centers procure to support acute-care operations. State and local governments use this code to source laser equipment for surgical applications, surgical power instruments, and associated technical support and maintenance services. Issuing bodies under this code are primarily county-operated public hospital systems and large academic medical centers. San Mateo County Medical Center has posted two recent RFPs under this code—one in July 2026 for laser equipment and OR technicians, and another in June 2026 for surgical power equipment to replace obsolete instruments—signaling active capital replacement cycles at public hospital systems.

San Mateo County, California has driven the most recent activity in this code through San Mateo Medical Center's dual solicitations in the second and third quarters of 2026. The laser equipment and technician RFP closed July 10, 2026, and requires vendors to demonstrate expertise in surgical laser installation, maintenance, and qualified technical staffing, with mandatory HIPAA compliance, background clearance, and adherence to the county's Living Wage Ordinance at $17.00 per hour. The surgical power equipment RFP, issued as a five-year contract with a June 5, 2026 deadline, requires minimum qualifications including five years of manufacturing, sales, or leasing experience in the specified product line; $1 million general liability and professional liability insurance; and eligibility for San Mateo County's Local Business Ordinance preference, which awards five percent additional evaluation points to local vendors and up to eight percent for qualifying micro businesses. Neither solicitation discloses a specific budget range or award value. Texas A&M University System also procured a ceiling-mounted flexible C-arm via ITB TAMUS-ITB-25-0516 in March 2026, indicating academic medical centers and university health systems also source under this code.
