NIGP 47590: Utensils, Sickroom, Plastic (Bed Pans, etc.)

NIGP 47590 Utensils, Sickroom, Plastic (Bed Pans, Etc.) is an Item code that encompasses disposable and reusable plastic sickroom supplies — primarily bed pans, urinals, emesis basins, and related bedside containment and hygiene products used in clinical, long-term care, and institutional settings. State and local governments procure these supplies through health departments, county and municipal hospital systems, correctional facilities, and public health agencies. The products are consumables or durable goods with short useful lives, typically bought through standing orders, blanket agreements, or cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple facilities.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing entity, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of participating counties and jurisdictions in Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and elsewhere across the United States and Canada, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026. While the primary solicitation focuses on law enforcement supplies, the cooperative structure makes the resulting contract available to thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, and public entities. The opportunity was posted through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal exclusively; inquiries were directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. No specific award value, set-asides, incumbent vendor information, or budget ranges were disclosed in available documentation.
