NIGP 47542: Grafts and Implants, Internal

NIGP 47542 Grafts And Implants, Internal is an Item code describing medical devices and biological materials implanted surgically or internally within patients — though recent state and local solicitations under this code show a narrower pattern focused on occupational health surveillance and law enforcement support services rather than traditional implantable medical devices. State and local governments buying under this code include state transportation departments, county governments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional public-sector coalitions. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Washington State Ferries, is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring licensed physicians board-certified in occupational medicine to conduct baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations, with full medical record management and 24/7 technical support; the contract runs two years with options to extend up to five additional one-year terms. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted a Law Enforcement Equipment RFP (#061626, due June 16, 2026) offering a contracting solution for participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County, and numerous public agencies across the United States and Canada.

Recent activity under this code concentrates in Washington State and the Upper Midwest through cooperative structures. The Washington State Ferries occupational surveillance work uses cost-based scoring (40 percent pricing, 60 percent non-cost capability factors) with a voluntary Subcontractor Inclusion Plan offering zero participation without penalty, and questions are due September 7, 2026. The Sourcewell cooperative procurement requires submission through its proprietary portal (https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov) by June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time, with no explicit set-aside designations or budget ranges disclosed; it serves K-12 school districts, higher education, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations alongside municipal and county buyers across multiple states and Canada.
