NIGP 47563: Ostomy Care Products

NIGP 47563 Ostomy Care Products is an Item code under which state and local governments procure ostomy supplies and related medical consumables, typically through cooperative purchasing vehicles and master-agreement frameworks that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions to achieve volume pricing. The work involves establishing supply contracts, managing inventory and fulfillment logistics, and ensuring product availability and compliance with regulatory standards for end-use delivery to healthcare facilities, schools, transit authorities, and county health departments. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state purchasing offices acting as cooperative administrators and individual state and local health agencies; the dominant recent activity flows through NASPO ValuePoint, a multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicle that enables participating state and local entities to leverage collective buying power.

NASPO ValuePoint Medical Supplies RFP 1433, posted September 25, 2026 with proposals due November 9, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time, represents the most visible current opportunity under the code. Administered by South Dakota with South Dakota as the coordinating state, the RFP establishes master agreements for medical supplies across multiple commodity categories on behalf of state and local government entities nationwide; specific product categories and contract values are not detailed in available posting materials. The cooperative structure permits any participating state, county, city, school district, or transit authority to access the resulting contracts, extending market reach across a geographically distributed buyer base. No other ostomy-specific or standalone Item 47563 solicitations appear in the recent-opportunities block; activity under this code concentrates within cooperative purchasing frameworks rather than individual jurisdiction RFPs or IFBs.
