NIGP 47550: Lancets, Blood

NIGP 47550 Lancets, Blood is an Item code under which state and local governments procure blood draw supplies, sterile lancets, and related diagnostic collection equipment used in occupational health screening, harm reduction programs, and routine medical surveillance. The recent solicitations show state health departments, county public health agencies, transit authorities, and cooperative purchasing consortia as primary buyers. Work encompasses vendor supply agreements for standalone lancet procurement, integration into larger medical supplies frameworks, and inclusion within occupational medical examination contracts requiring phlebotomy capabilities.

Activity spans Idaho, Washington, and Colorado based on the most recent opportunities. The NASPO ValuePoint RFP NVP_1443 (Idaho Medical Supplies, posted October 6, 2026, due November 9, 2026) establishes a cooperative purchasing framework for medical supplies across multiple categories, including blood collection equipment, serving Idaho state agencies and participating public entities with tiered pricing structures. Boulder County Public Health issued RFP PHI00326 (posted August 10, 2026, due September 11, 2026) seeking harm reduction supplies vendors including safer injection and wound care products. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, posted RFP20260825 (posted August 25, 2026, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services including baseline and periodic examinations requiring phlebotomy support across 14 ferry locations, with a two-year term and optional five-year extension. Sourcewell cooperative purchasing issued RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment (posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026) with multi-state participation, though this solicitation's relevance to lancets is indirect. State and local procurement under this code favors suppliers capable of delivering through cooperative purchasing vehicles and meeting regulatory compliance for medical and harm reduction applications.
