NIGP 47524: Collection Systems, Suction, Disposable

NIGP 47524 Collection Systems, Suction, Disposable (Item) covers medical and emergency-response collection supplies—respiratory equipment, cardiac monitoring electrodes, endotracheal tubes, airway devices, bandaging materials, oxygen delivery systems, and related consumables—procured by fire departments, emergency medical services, and county utilities agencies. State and local issuing bodies under this code include city fire departments, county boards of commissioners, and county housing and planning authorities; the work spans emergency-response supply procurement, utility-asset inventory collection, and administrative support services for housing-finance operations. The scope reflects a mix of high-volume consumable purchasing (tens of thousands of units annually for frequently used items) and specialized medical equipment acquisition with strict compliance requirements around expiration dating, safety documentation, and accessibility standards.
