NIGP 46578: Pumps, Hospital: Breast, Enteral and IV Feeding, Infusion, Pressure, Suction (Aspirators), and Vacuum

NIGP 46578 Pumps, Hospital: Breast, Enteral And IV Feeding, Infusion, Pressure, Suction (Aspirators), And Vacuum is an Item code that encompasses specialized medical infusion and feeding equipment including smart pumps with integrated drug libraries, enteral feeding systems, IV infusion devices, and related clinical delivery apparatus. State and local governments procure these devices through a mix of individual agency solicitations, statewide cooperative-purchasing vehicles, and regional service cooperatives, reflecting demand across health departments, state-supported living centers, university health systems, and multi-state government purchasing alliances. Recent solicitations show departments targeting both consumable supply replenishment under blanket agreements and capital procurement of advanced infusion-center management systems, often structured as master agreements to serve multiple departments and geographic regions within a single state or across multiple states.

Activity spans state health agencies, university health systems, and cooperative purchasing entities across multiple regions. The California Department of Health Care Services posted RFB 26201027 in June 2026 for ambulatory smart pumps with integrated drug libraries, requiring FDA clearance and HIPAA Business Associate Agreement compliance. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017173 in May 2026 for durable medical equipment and services across eleven geographic regions with a contract ceiling of $5 million over approximately five years, and separately bid specialized medical supplies including feeding tubes and IV devices (IFB HHS0017603, July 2026) for the Abilene State Supported Living Center. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio solicited management and operation of an existing infusion center (RFP 74526P16, June 2026) across multiple clinical specialties. Multi-state cooperative vehicles active in this space include NASPO ValuePoint (RFP 1433, medical supplies master agreement due November 9, 2026), Sourcewell (physical health products RFP 26RFP102026, October 20, 2026), and MMCAP (RFP 37259 for full-line medical supplies, July 20, 2026, representing $300 million in collective annual member purchasing power). Recent procurement activity concentrates in Texas and California, with multi-state reach through Minnesota-based and South Dakota-administered cooperatives.
