NIGP 49056: Micromanipulators

NIGP 49056 Micromanipulators, an Item code, encompasses laboratory information management systems and related technical solutions that state and local public health and research operations procure to automate workflow and data management. The code captures what public health agencies, county laboratories, and municipal research facilities actually buy under this classification — integrated software platforms and supporting infrastructure that consolidate sample tracking, analytical workflows, regulatory compliance, and operational reporting for laboratory environments. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county public health departments and specialized laboratory divisions, though recent activity remains limited in posted opportunities.

The County of Santa Clara issued a Request for Information (RFI) in April 2026 for a Public Health Lab Information Management Solution Replacement (RFITSSFY260686), posted April 7 with a response deadline of April 22, 2026, seeking vendors capable of delivering a modern, scalable, and fully compliant lab information management system to support the complete range of workflows for the county's Public Health Lab. The solicitation did not specify budget parameters, set-aside designations, or incumbent vendor information. Geographic activity under this code remains concentrated in California based on the single recent opportunity; broader state and local engagement patterns are not yet evident from available recent solicitations.
