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

NIGP 46597 Warming Cabinets (For Blood, IV Solutions, Etc.), an Item code, encompasses medical-grade warming and storage equipment for blood products, intravenous solutions, and related clinical materials used in hospital, clinic, and emergency-response settings. State and local governments procure these units for health departments, public hospitals, emergency medical services, and other clinical facilities where temperature control of blood and IV inventory is critical to patient safety and operational compliance. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county health departments, municipal hospitals, and regional health authorities, often through cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions and entity types.

Recent solicitation activity under this code is limited; the most recent opportunity identified is Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, which procures law enforcement equipment rather than clinical warming cabinets and therefore does not represent typical activity in this medical-equipment class. The absence of recent, directly relevant state and local opportunities for warming cabinets suggests either low procurement frequency in this commodity, procurement bundled under broader medical-equipment or hospital-supply codes, or activity concentrated through state health department cooperative agreements that do not appear in the current source data. Geographic and issuing-body concentration cannot be characterized from available recent opportunities.
