NIGP 46597: Warming Cabinets (for Blood, IV Solutions, etc.)

NIGP 46597 Warming Cabinets (For Blood, IV Solutions, Etc.), an Item code, addresses specialized medical equipment for temperature-controlled storage of blood products, intravenous solutions, and related clinical supplies used in hospitals, clinics, emergency services, and other healthcare delivery settings. State and local governments procure these units primarily through health departments, public hospital systems, emergency medical services programs, and county or municipal clinics; purchasing tends to be episodic and driven by facility replacement cycles, capacity expansion, or equipment standardization initiatives within healthcare networks.

The most recent state and local opportunity under this code comes from Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issuing RFP #061626 on behalf of its Participating Entities for Law Enforcement Equipment with a response deadline of June 16, 2026. While the Sourcewell solicitation is broadly framed as law enforcement equipment, the cooperative purchasing structure allows Participating Entities—including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County, and numerous other jurisdictions, school districts, and public entities throughout the United States and Canada—to establish contracting solutions across multiple commodity categories. The resulting contract is reserved for future utilization through a participating addendum with Sourcewell, enabling flexibility in deployment across the cooperating jurisdictions. No specific award value, set-aside designations, or incumbent vendor information is disclosed in available documentation.
