NIGP 49313: Colloids : Aerosols, Emulsions, Gels, Suspensions, etc.

NIGP 49313 Colloids: Aerosols, Emulsions, Gels, Suspensions, Etc., an Item code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently visible under this code. The single recent opportunity posted under NIGP 49313 is the County of Santa Clara's April 2026 Request for Information (RFI) for a Public Health Lab Information Management Solution Replacement — a software and systems procurement for lab workflow management, not a chemical or colloid supply contract. This mismatch suggests either a classification anomaly in how the opportunity was tagged or a gap in the available transaction data for this code.

The County of Santa Clara issued the RFI on April 7, 2026, with a response deadline of April 22, 2026, seeking vendors capable of providing a modern, scalable, compliant lab information management system (LIMS) to support the full range of public health lab workflows. No budget, incumbent vendor, set-aside designation, or specific technical infrastructure details appear in the solicitation notice. Without additional recent opportunities across other jurisdictions, geographic patterns and a reliable characterization of what state and local governments actually buy under this code cannot be established from the source provided.
