NIGP 47581: Surgical Support Supplies incl. Post-Surgery (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 47581 Surgical Support Supplies Including Post-Surgery (Not Otherwise Classified), an Item code, encompasses medical equipment, devices, and services for perioperative and post-surgical care that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis for acute-care hospitals, state health agencies, and specialty medical centers. Recent solicitations under this code reflect purchasing for orthopedic hardware extraction systems, negative-pressure wound therapy equipment rental with consumables and staffing, occupational medical surveillance services for transportation workers, and broader physical health products through cooperative purchasing frameworks. Issuing bodies include state health departments (California Department of State Hospitals, Washington State Department of Transportation), county hospital systems (San Mateo Medical Center), and state procurement offices coordinating cooperative agreements (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office via Sourcewell). The code attracts vendors supplying specialized surgical instrumentation, wound care technology platforms, medical staffing for in-service training, and medical surveillance contractors with board-certified occupational-medicine physicians.

Recent procurement activity is concentrated in California, Washington, Illinois, and Minnesota, with activity driven by both individual agency needs and statewide or multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicles. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, in cooperation with Sourcewell, issued RFP 102026 for Physical Health Products and Related Services with a response deadline of October 20, 2026, establishing master agreements available to state governments, institutions of higher education, school districts, counties, and cities across multiple states.
