NIGP 46592: Surgical Instruments, Floor Grade

NIGP 46592 Surgical Instruments, Floor Grade is an Item code covering surgical power equipment and related instruments that state and local health systems procure to replace or upgrade operating room and clinical instrumentation. State and local governments buying under this code include county hospital systems and public health facilities, which solicit replacements for obsolete surgical power tools through multi-year equipment contracts. San Mateo County Medical Center, a fully accredited public hospital and clinic system serving San Mateo County, recently posted an RFP for Surgical Power equipment on May 7, 2026, with a proposal deadline of May 28, 2026, seeking to replace existing power instruments across its acute-care hospital, outpatient clinics, and long-term care facilities. The RFP is structured as a five-year contract with evaluation weighted toward project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points). Proposers must demonstrate five years of prior experience manufacturing, sales, or leasing comparable equipment, maintain professional liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence and $3 million aggregate, comply with California's Living Wage Ordinance at $17.00 per hour with annual adjustments capped at 3.5 percent, and execute a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement for protected health information. San Mateo County applies a local business preference ordinance adding five percent evaluation points to local businesses and nonprofits, with an additional three or eight percent for small or micro businesses respectively within San Mateo County and San Francisco City.

Recent procurement activity under this code is limited to the San Mateo County solicitation; the source contains no other surgical instruments opportunities. Geographic reach is confined to California based on available records. The San Mateo opportunity signals active replacement cycles at established public health systems and indicates that buyers emphasize insurance credentials, prevailing wage compliance, and facility-access credentialing alongside technical qualifications and pricing in their evaluation. Contracts exceeding $200,000 will follow the County's comprehensive service agreement template with payment contingent on satisfactory completion and approval by the designated contract owner.
