NIGP 47517: Catheters and Urinary Drainage Systems, Plastic and Rubber

NIGP 47517 Catheters And Urinary Drainage Systems, Plastic And Rubber is an Item code under which state and local governments procure occupational medical surveillance and healthcare services — a significant divergence from the code's legacy commodity framing. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), acting on behalf of the Washington State Ferries, is the primary recent buyer under this code, soliciting comprehensive occupational medical surveillance services including baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations for four personnel categories aligned with Washington State regulatory requirements and HIPAA compliance. The RFP (solicitation RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requires a licensed physician board-certified in occupational medicine to conduct examinations across 14 Washington locations — Anacortes, Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Clinton, Coupeville, Edmonds, Kingston, Mukilteo, Port Orchard, Port Townsend, San Juan Islands, Seattle, Tacoma, and Vashon Island — with flexible work-week scheduling, 24/7 technical support, and full medical record management compliant with Washington Administrative Code Chapter 296-802. Evaluation is cost-based (pricing 40 percent, non-cost factors 60 percent); a voluntary Subcontractor Inclusion Plan is available with zero participation carrying no penalty. The contract term is two years with an option to extend for up to five additional one-year terms. Award is anticipated by November 30, 2026.

The recent opportunity block shows activity concentrated in Washington State at the state agency level. Two additional sealed-bid opportunities posted concurrently — Orange County, Florida's emergency bridge replacement project (Y26742, $6,202,246.05, due July 7, 2026) and the City of Brownsville, Texas's Abilene Trail Storm Sewer Improvements (24626EPWIFB, due July 14, 2026) — appear to be infrastructure construction procurements that fall outside the scope of this Item code's actual buying pattern. The WSDOT occupational medical surveillance opportunity is the only relevant recent solicitation under this code's actual scope; no other state departments, counties, cities, school districts, or transit authorities appear in the recent-opportunities block for this commodity classification.
