NIGP 46570: Pads and Pumping Systems, Alternating Pressure Point

NIGP 46570 Pads and Pumping Systems, Alternating Pressure Point is an Item code that encompasses medical-grade alternating pressure devices and related equipment used primarily in wound care and pressure ulcer prevention, as well as metering and chemical injection pumps deployed in municipal water treatment and public health applications. State and local governments procure these systems through multiple channels: health and human services agencies acquire alternating pressure devices as durable medical equipment for rehabilitation and long-term care programs; county water departments and municipal utilities source metering pumps and chemical injection systems for treatment processes; and purchasing cooperatives establish blanket contracting vehicles across multiple jurisdictions. The work includes equipment supply, in-home delivery and installation, maintenance, emergency repairs, and ongoing technical support, with vendors typically required to hold medical device manufacturer or distributor licenses and comply with industry standards (CMS DMEPOS for medical equipment, FDEP compliance for water treatment systems).
