NIGP 47058: Recycled Mobility, Speech Impaired and Restraint Items

NIGP 47058 Recycled Mobility, Speech Impaired and Restraint Items, an Item code, covers the procurement of mobility aids, communication devices, and assistive equipment for individuals with physical and speech disabilities, as demonstrated by recent state and local solicitations. State and local governments purchase both large equipment — gait trainers, adaptive tricycles, standing frames, mechanical and transfer lifts, and changing tables — and small equipment including speech-generating devices, RFID communication devices, video magnifiers, braille displays, and embossers. This code also captures maintenance, repair, and replacement services for specialized mobility and assistive devices, particularly ARJO brand equipment used in residential care settings. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state health and human services agencies managing residential care facilities and independent school districts serving special-education populations across multiple campuses.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Garland Independent School District posted the two most recent opportunities. HHSC issued IFB HHS0017404 on July 1, 2026 for equipment upkeep, repair, and replacement at Corpus Christi State Supported Living Center, with bids due July 23, 2026; the scope centers on ARJO maintenance agreements, replacement parts, and consumable supplies, with annual costs typically ranging from $50,000 to $60,000. Garland ISD posted RFP 3942604 on March 12, 2026 (same-day deadline) for special education large and small equipment serving approximately 51,644 students across 71 schools in Garland, Rowlett, and Sachse, Texas, with an estimated annual contract value of $50,000 and a contract term from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, automatically renewable for four additional years. Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, though the code operates statewide within the jurisdictions that support residential care facilities and special-education programs.
