NIGP 49077: Pumps, Liquid (Laboratory Type): Metering, Peristaltic, Syringe, etc.

NIGP 49077 Pumps, Liquid (Laboratory Type): Metering, Peristaltic, Syringe, Etc., an Item code, encompasses laboratory-grade liquid pumping systems used in analytical work, though recent state and local solicitations show the actual buying activity spans broader laboratory equipment procurement, hazardous-materials logistics, lab-information systems, and emergency-response equipment rather than metering or peristaltic pumps alone. State agencies and county governments are acquiring laboratory relocation services that bundle analytical instruments (gas chromatographs, mass spectrometers, HPLC systems), forensic equipment (thermal cyclers, genetic analyzers), and supporting infrastructure, alongside hazardous-chemical handling and recalibration. The Missouri Division of Purchasing issued a multi-agency relocation RFP on behalf of the Department of Natural Resources, Missouri State Highway Patrol, and Department of Agriculture with response due August 11, 2026; the scope includes over 200 analytical instruments and more than 1,500 chemical items spread across three facilities. Pasco County, Florida solicited an indefinite-quantity arrangement for copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis. Santa Clara County issued an RFI for a Public Health Lab Information Management System Replacement in April 2026, and Collier County, Florida posted an RFP for Major Incident Standby Services that includes pumping systems and equipment pools for emergency response.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and California counties alongside state-level procurement in Missouri, though the scope of recent solicitations reveals minimal direct demand for laboratory-type metering or peristaltic pumps as standalone line items. Instead, purchasing focuses on integrated laboratory relocation services, reagent supply, lab-information systems, and emergency-response equipment that may incorporate pump systems as components rather than primary procurement drivers. The Missouri RFP represents the most substantial recent opportunity, with mandatory pre-proposal conferences and facility tours scheduled for July 29, 2026, and a firm-fixed-price contract running through April 30, 2027 with two one-year renewal options; contractors must demonstrate five years of analytical-equipment relocation experience and hold hazmat credentials. The fragmented geographic and issuing-body profile—state departments, counties, and special-purpose districts each pursuing distinct procurements—suggests the code sees episodic demand tied to specific infrastructure projects rather than steady baseline activity across state and local sectors.
