NIGP 47058: Recycled Mobility, Speech Impaired and Restraint Items

NIGP 47058 Recycled Mobility, Speech Impaired And Restraint Items (Item) encompasses mobility aids, assistive communication devices, and adaptive restraint equipment for individuals with disabilities in state and local care and education settings. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying specialized resident care equipment maintenance, replacement parts, and consumable supplies—primarily mobility and transfer equipment such as mattresses, slings, hoses, shower handles, batteries, and chargers sourced through vendor discount catalogs and service contracts. The issuing bodies include state health and human services departments managing state-supported living centers, regional purchasing cooperatives serving member school districts and agencies, and education service centers focused on special education procurement.

Texas dominates recent activity under this code. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) posted two solicitations for equipment upkeep, repair, and replacement services at the Corpus Christi State Supported Living Center—an IFB with a July 23, 2026 deadline (later reissued as HHS0017404V2 with an August 25, 2026 deadline)—covering ARJO resident care equipment maintenance agreements and parts, with annual estimated costs of $50,000 to $60,000 and a contract term running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, based in Kilgore, Texas, issued a catalog discount bid (SPE2628) for special education and supplies due October 1, 2026, with an estimated two-year expenditure of $2,713,541 and anticipated multiple awardees across its membership footprint. Both opportunities require firm, fixed pricing, demonstrated experience with similar contracts, verifiable references, and compliance with insurance and background-check requirements.
