NIGP 47545: Hospital Tubing and Accessories (All Types)

NIGP 47545 Hospital Tubing and Accessories (All Types), an Item code, encompasses specialized medical tubing, connectors, feeding systems, and related supplies that state and local health care facilities, supported living centers, and occupational health programs procure for patient care, diagnostic testing, and employee medical surveillance. The code captures gastrostomy and enteral feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, catheters, syringes, feeding sets, and SpO2 sensors—products drawn directly from recent state and local solicitations rather than abstract taxonomy. Issuing bodies range from state health and human services departments managing supported living centers to county-level transit and ferry operators purchasing occupational medical services that require tubing-adjacent supplies and equipment. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Washington State Department of Transportation appear among recent buyers, alongside county health systems.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in Texas and Washington. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017603 on July 15, 2026 (bids due July 30, 2026) for medical supplies and equipment at the Abilene State Supported Living Center, specifying gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, catheters, feeding tubes, syringes, enteral feeding sets, SpO2 sensors, and IV pole clamps from manufacturers including Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, and Becton Dickinson under a blanket purchase agreement with a September 1, 2026 start date and optional one-year extension. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP 20260825 on August 25, 2026 (proposals due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry system locations, requiring baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations for shipyard and vessel crew members with two-year initial term and optional five one-year extensions. Cost-based evaluation (40 percent pricing, 60 percent capability) and firm fixed-price structures characterize recent procurements in this code.
