NIGP 49006: Barometers and Manometers, Laboratory Type

NIGP 49006 Barometers and Manometers, Laboratory Type is an Item code that frames state and local procurement of laboratory pressure and atmospheric measurement instruments used in public health, environmental testing, and research operations. Recent solicitation activity under this code reflects demand from county public health departments for integrated lab information management systems that incorporate or interface with laboratory instrumentation. The County of Santa Clara's April 2026 RFI for a Public Health Lab Information Management Solution Replacement exemplifies the scope of work—county health departments are seeking modern, scalable LIMS platforms capable of supporting complete laboratory workflows including data capture from analytical instruments like pressure and flow monitors. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code are primarily county health departments and state public health laboratories, with repeat procurement activity centered in county-level public health operations.

The most recent documented opportunity is the County of Santa Clara Public Health Lab Information Management Solution Replacement, posted April 7, 2026, with a response deadline of April 22, 2026, issued as an RFI. The county did not disclose budget parameters, set-aside designations, or incumbent vendor information in the published solicitation materials. California is the primary state showing recent activity under this code, though the sparse solicitation record suggests either low transaction volume or concentration of laboratory instrument procurement under parent Class 490 or through cooperative purchasing vehicles not reflected in individual RFI postings. Vendors pursuing this code should expect engagement with county public health departments on LIMS modernization projects where laboratory measurement instruments and systems integration are component requirements rather than standalone commodity buys.
