NIGP 46588: Splints and Tourniquets

NIGP 46588 Splints and Tourniquets, an Item code, captures emergency medical and trauma response equipment that state and local governments procure for law enforcement, fire departments, and rescue operations. State and local buyers under this code source individual splint and tourniquet products as line items within broader medical and first-aid supply solicitations, and as components of law enforcement equipment frameworks intended to serve multiple jurisdictions simultaneously. Issuing bodies range from municipal fire departments and city purchasing offices to state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles serving counties, public entities, and public safety agencies across multiple states. The City of Tampa Fire Department and the City of Dallas procure these items directly; Sourcewell, a Minnesota-chartered cooperative, structures multi-jurisdiction frameworks that make equipment available to thousands of public entities nationwide.

Recent activity spans Texas, Washington state, and Minnesota-anchored cooperative purchasing vehicles. The City of Tampa Fire Department's March 2026 medical and first-aid supplies ITB (Bid 26-P-00145, due March 13, 2026) included emergency response consumables, bandaging materials, and trauma equipment for its Rescue Division across 169 line items with an estimated contract value of $700,000, designated as a sheltered market opportunity with a 5 percent SLBE bid discount not to exceed $10,000. The City of Dallas issued an informal IFB (IFSAVIB1800458, due May 14, 2026) for a Tramedic Cabinet Kit purchase on an FOB delivery basis to its fire or EMS operations facility. Sourcewell's RFP 061626 (due June 16, 2026) sought law enforcement equipment vendors to establish a statewide and multi-state contracting solution covering Washington, participating counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima, and numerous public entities throughout the United States and Canada, with awards reserved for future utilization through participating addenda.
