NIGP 47585: Thermometers, Clinical; Sheaths and Dispensers (Including Electronic)

NIGP 47585 Thermometers, Clinical; Sheaths And Dispensers (Including Electronic) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure clinical thermometers—including electronic models and associated dispensing or storage equipment—as part of broader first aid and medical supply bundles. The code surfaces in school district and cooperative purchasing frameworks where thermometers are bundled with other consumables like gauze, bandages, alcohol prep pads, sharps containers, and exam gloves rather than purchased as standalone line items. Issuing bodies include independent school districts and state-authorized cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions and public entities.

Recent activity shows the School Board of Pinellas County, Florida issuing ITB 25CR069 for first aid supplies with a response deadline of November 20, 2025, covering 34 line items of medical consumables including thermometers with an estimated annual spend of approximately $130,000 and a contract period from February 11, 2026 to February 10, 2027. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, posted RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026 (response due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment spanning Washington state counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties, designed to serve thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, and public entities across the United States and Canada—a framework where clinical supplies may be included in equipment kits. Activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with cooperative purchasing vehicles playing a significant role in aggregating demand across multiple jurisdictions.
