NIGP 47595: Vacuum Blood-Collecting Sets (Tubes, Tube-Holders, and Needles)

NIGP 47595 Vacuum Blood-Collecting Sets (Tubes, Tube-Holders, and Needles) is an Item code covering phlebotomy supplies and related apparatus used in occupational health screening, emergency medical response, and clinical laboratory work. State and local governments procure these items as consumable components of broader medical surveillance, emergency services, and occupational safety programs rather than as standalone commodity buys. Recent solicitations show demand concentrated in occupational health and emergency medical services contexts, where vacuum blood-collecting systems support occupational medical examinations, intraosseous infusion procedures, and rapid-access vascular interventions aligned with regulatory compliance (HIPAA, Washington Administrative Code) and emergency response protocols.

Issuing bodies include state transportation agencies, county emergency medical services, and cooperative purchasing groups serving multiple jurisdictions. Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) on behalf of Washington State Ferries posted RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, with examinations due October 9, 2026, that will include baseline, periodic, and exit medical assessments for four employee categories. Marion County, Florida issued procurement 09SS-103 for Vidacare EZ-IO intraosseous infusion systems and needles (due May 11, 2026) to support emergency medical services operations. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) available to thousands of public entities across the United States and Canada, though the available documentation does not specify whether phlebotomy supplies are included in that scope. Recent activity spans Washington State and Florida; the geographic spread remains narrow and the code shows limited visibility in recent state and local procurement records.
