NIGP 47552: Medical Ergonomic Instruments and Equipment

NIGP 47552 Medical Ergonomic Instruments And Equipment, an Item code, encompasses specialized medical devices and equipment that state and local governments procure for emergency medical services, healthcare training, and clinical diagnostics — including EMS supplies and inventory management systems, simulation mannequins for healthcare training, video laryngoscopes, transport ventilators, cadaver tables for medical education, and intraosseous infusion equipment. Recent solicitations show a mix of issuing bodies: county fire departments and emergency medical services (Henry County, Georgia; Clay County, Florida; Williamson County, Tennessee), state educational institutions (Augusta Technical College, Georgia; Texas Southern University), independent school districts (Klein ISD, Texas), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County, Washington). Henry County, Georgia appears as a repeat buyer, with two related medical supplies postings in the recent window. Solicitation structures vary from open competitive bidding (Henry County's sealed-bid IFB for miscellaneous EMS medical supplies and inventory management platforms due April 8, 2026) to sole-source and single-source restricted procurements (Verathon GlideScope Go 2 video laryngoscopes through Collier County, Florida; Hamilton-T1 transport ventilators through Clay County, Florida; Anatomage Cadaver Table through Augusta Technical College).

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, and Texas, with additional solicitation activity in Washington and Tennessee. Representative recent opportunities include Henry County's April 8, 2026 sealed-bid IFB for miscellaneous EMS medical supplies requiring vendor-hosted inventory management integration with UCAP and Operative IQ systems; Texas Southern University's April 23, 2026 ITB for two high-fidelity simulation mannikins with two-year minimum manufacturer warranty and 48–72 hour technical support response; Klein ISD's June 5, 2026 RFP for career and technical education resources including health sciences equipment; and Sourcewell's June 16, 2026 RFP for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating Washington counties and public entities. Single-source and sole-source designations for specific medical device manufacturers (Verathon, Hamilton Medical, Anatomage, Teleflex) reflect standardization requirements and clinical workflow integration constraints in emergency services and healthcare education settings.
