NIGP 46595: Vaporizers, Humidifiers, and Nebulizers (Including Room Size)

NIGP 46595 Vaporizers, Humidifiers, And Nebulizers (Including Room Size) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure consumable and durable respiratory equipment, humidification devices, and related supplies for operational use across fire rescue, healthcare, and rehabilitation programs. The recent procurement activity shows this code driving purchases of room-scale and portable respiratory support equipment, including CPAP devices and nebulizers, primarily through janitorial and operational supplies aggregations and specialized durable medical equipment (DME) master contracts. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-state public-sector networks (Sourcewell on behalf of participating counties in Washington state and other jurisdictions). The scope spans routine consumable replenishment for 24-hour-operation fire stations, delivery of specialized respiratory equipment to individuals with traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries, and aggregated law enforcement and operational equipment procurement across hundreds of governmental and nonprofit entities.
