NIGP 46572: Pads and Systems, Fluid Circulating (Cooling and Warming)

NIGP 46572 Pads and Systems, Fluid Circulating (Cooling and Warming) is an Item code. State and local governments procure cooling and warming fluid circulation pads and systems under this code, typically integrated into law enforcement equipment, medical devices, and specialized operational systems where thermal management is mission-critical. The issuing bodies span state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles, counties, cities, school districts, and other public entities that source these components as part of broader equipment acquisition or capital procurement efforts.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, with availability intended for thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K–12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and public entities throughout the United States and Canada. The proposal deadline was June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time, with submissions required through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. This cooperative purchasing model suggests that cooling and warming pad systems under this code are sourced regionally and nationally through framework agreements rather than individual jurisdiction solicitations, with the Washington and Minnesota jurisdictions serving as the visible anchor points in recent procurement activity.
