NIGP 46565: Obstetrical and Gynecological Equipment and Supplies

NIGP 46565 Obstetrical and Gynecological Equipment and Supplies, an Item code, encompasses medical instrumentation and consumables purchased by health departments and public healthcare systems to support reproductive and women's health programs. State and local governments acquire analytical equipment, diagnostic instruments, and related supplies under this code to serve clinical and laboratory functions within public health infrastructure. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state health departments and county health agencies; the Utah Department of Health and Human Services appears as a recent buyer pursuing instrument service extensions.

Recent activity in the code is sparse. The Utah Department of Health and Human Services posted a notice-and-challenge amendment (JM27103, due September 10, 2026) to extend two-year service coverage for two Q5 instruments with Life Technologies under a non-competitive procurement, increasing the contract total from $120,824.38 to $179,381.34 by adding $58,556.96. The procurement unit invoked sole-source or transitional-cost justifications under Utah Procurement Code provisions, with vendors permitted to challenge by demonstrating competing sources or comparable products and submitting cost comparisons by the September 10 deadline to the Division of Purchasing. Geographic activity is limited to Utah based on available records; no additional recent solicitations under this code appear in the source.
