NIGP 47535: Electrodes, Grounding Pads, Lead Wires, and Electrode Gel (for Monitoring Devices), Disposable

NIGP 47535 Electrodes, Grounding Pads, Lead Wires, and Electrode Gel (For Monitoring Devices), Disposable is an Item code that captures disposable electromedical monitoring consumables and accessories used in clinical and occupational health surveillance programs. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect purchases of medical examination and biological waste management supplies, particularly electrodes and related monitoring equipment incorporated into occupational health surveillance contracts and clinical waste disposal operations. State and local buyers issuing under the code include higher education institutions, state health departments, state transportation agencies, and county health and safety programs. Houston City College's biological waste collection and disposal RFP (RFP2703, due November 20, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP for Washington State Ferries (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) represent the active demand profile—both solicitations encompass medical examination infrastructure and consumables integral to monitoring and waste management workflows.

Geographic activity concentrates in Washington and Texas, with secondary presence in California and Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicles. The Washington State Department of Transportation procurement spans 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations across Washington state, requiring occupational medical examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members under a two-year contract with optional extensions through November 2026 award. Texas Health and Human Services Commission's Abilene State Supported Living Center IFB (HHS0017603, due July 30, 2026) specified electromedical supplies and small tools across NIGP codes 475-16/18/21/35/45/73/74/82, establishing blanket purchase terms for September 2026 through August 2027 with one-year extension options. Houston City College's RFP emphasizes comprehensive biological waste management including sharps containers and biohazard signage with Monday–Friday pickup availability and certificates of destruction, while Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing framework (RFP 061626) extends law enforcement and public-sector equipment access to multiple Washington jurisdictions and nationwide participants.
