NIGP 49095: Vacuum Equipment, Laboratory (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 49095 Vacuum Equipment, Laboratory (Not Otherwise Classified) is an Item code. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect a narrow but specialized scope: the Texas A&M University System solicited bids on a modular high-vacuum training system in June 2026, demonstrating that laboratory vacuum equipment procurement targets educational and research institutions acquiring specialized scientific instrumentation. The code captures discrete equipment purchases and training systems rather than consumables or routine maintenance services. Issuing bodies include higher-education systems and, potentially, state research facilities and laboratory operations within state health or environmental departments, though the recent-opportunities block supports only the A&M System activity to date.

The Texas A&M University System represents the primary recent buyer, issuing an ITB (TAMUS-ITB-26-0538) with a June 12, 2026 response deadline through the AggieBid vendor portal. Texas is the documented geography for this code's recent activity. Bidders must register as vendors within AggieBid to submit electronic bids; all addenda and technical documentation are posted exclusively within the platform. Technical questions should be directed to Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu or via the Q&A section in AggieBid. The ITB specifications, pricing terms, quantities, contract value, and contract term are accessible only through the complete ITB documentation within AggieBid; the notice itself does not disclose those details. No other state or local opportunities appear in the recent block, indicating limited current activity under this code.
