NIGP 47062: Robots for Assisting Disabled Persons

NIGP 47062 Robots For Assisting Disabled Persons is an Item code that addresses state and local procurement of robotic devices and systems designed to support individuals with disabilities through mobility assistance, manipulation tasks, and daily-living support. State and local governments, including special-purpose health and disability-services districts, school districts serving students with disabilities, and municipal recreation and wellness departments, acquire assistive robotics to expand access to independent living and therapeutic outcomes. The scope spans mobile manipulation platforms, exoskeletal systems, and task-specific robotic arms for activities of daily living—lifting, reaching, object retrieval, and environmental control—as well as companion and mobility-assistance robots for institutional and home-based settings.

The source provides no recent state or local contract opportunities under NIGP 47062. Without posted solicitation activity, geographic distribution and issuing-body concentration cannot be characterized. Firms pursuing this code should monitor procurement channels in states with large disability-services networks and established assistive-technology procurement programs, though current market activity under this specific NIGP Item code remains below visibility in recent posting data.
