NIGP 47090: Wheeled Stretchers

NIGP 47090 Wheeled Stretchers, an Item code, covers ambulance cots and patient transfer equipment that state and local governments procure to support emergency medical services and special education operations. State and local agencies buy wheeled stretchers under this code to meet clinical transport and mobility requirements for emergency response, healthcare facilities, and specialized educational settings serving students with disabilities. The recent solicitation mix reflects two distinct customer classes: state emergency services agencies and school districts operating special education programs. California's State of California and Garland Independent School District both recently solicited stretchers and related transfer equipment, signaling activity from both statewide emergency medical services procurement and district-level special education purchasing.

California's State of California posted RFB-IS-26200991 on May 25, 2026, requesting Ferno EASR HS26-1403 ambulance cots with a June 10, 2026 response deadline; the scope includes supply and delivery to support emergency medical services operations statewide, with mandatory CBE form submission and detailed technical specifications governing structural integrity, load capacity, safety mechanisms, and compatibility with existing ambulance systems. Garland Independent School District, serving approximately 51,644 students across 71 schools in the Dallas-area region, issued RFQ 3942604 on March 12, 2026, with a same-day deadline for special education large equipment including mechanical lifts and transfer lifts; the estimated annual contract value is $50,000 running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with automatic renewal for four additional years and a 40-point weight on purchase price in vendor evaluation. Texas and California represent the primary recent activity; both solicitations emphasize compliance with federal debarment requirements and detailed insurance documentation.
