NIGP 49009: Centrifuges, Desk Top and Free Standing

NIGP 49009 Centrifuges, Desk Top And Free Standing, Item, covers fully automated desktop laboratory instrumentation for water quality and microbiological testing that state and local environmental and public health agencies are actively procuring. State and local governments use this code to acquire EPA-approved desktop water analysis systems, forensic DNA sample preparation equipment, and integrated multi-parameter water quality instruments, typically bundled with supplies, calibration services, installation, training, and maintenance agreements to support regulatory compliance testing in drinking water, recreational water, and environmental sampling operations.

The issuing bodies are primarily state departments of health and environmental protection, county health departments, and state forensic laboratory operations. The Florida Department of Health (including its multiple county health departments) appears as a repeat buyer, having posted at least three separate single-source procurements for IDEXX Tecta B16 water analysis systems and related reagent supplies since February 2026. Recent opportunities include the Florida Department of Health's single-source procurement of an IDEXX Tecta B16 system for Nassau County Health Department (SS15883, posted May 6, 2026, deadline May 28, 2026, $45,148.13), the State of California's request for bid for forensic DNA sample preparation instrumentation (RFBIS26200737, posted March 19, 2026, deadline April 6, 2026), the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's single-source procurement of EXO Advanced Multi-Parameter instruments and maintenance from YSI Inc. (SS15226, posted February 25, 2026, $216,000 for twelve months), and the Florida Department of Health's multi-county single-source procurement of the IDEXX Tecta system for Volusia and Hernando County Health Departments (SS15129, posted February 13, 2026, estimated $89,000). Activity is concentrated in Florida and California, with procurement mechanisms dominated by single-source justifications citing manufacturer exclusivity and regulatory accreditation requirements that limit competitive response.
