NIGP 46566: Organ Preservation Equipment: Perfusion Chambers, etc.

NIGP 46566 Organ Preservation Equipment: Perfusion Chambers, Etc., an Item code, encompasses specialized medical equipment used to maintain organ viability during transplant procedures and storage — specifically perfusion chambers and related preservation apparatus that state and local healthcare systems, medical examiner offices, and transplant programs procure. The source material provided contains no recent state or local solicitations specifically under this code; the single posted opportunity is a Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment, which falls outside the scope of organ preservation.

Without documented recent procurement activity under NIGP 46566, the issuing-body mix, geographic spread, and representative opportunities in the state and local marketplace cannot be characterized from available evidence. Firms pursuing this code should monitor specialized medical procurement channels, state health department equipment programs, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving healthcare systems and public medical institutions for future solicitation activity.
