NIGP 49330: Evaporators, Analytical (Air or Nitrogen Jet)

NIGP 49330 Evaporators, Analytical (Air Or Nitrogen Jet) is an Item code that names laboratory equipment for sample preparation and concentration in analytical workflows. The recent state and local procurement activity under this code is sparse. The County of Santa Clara posted a Request for Information on April 7, 2026, seeking vendors for a Public Health Lab Information Management Solution Replacement—a lab information management system (LIMS) rather than analytical evaporator hardware—with a response deadline of April 22, 2026. This procurement is oriented toward software and systems integration rather than the physical evaporator equipment the NIGP code describes, suggesting limited or no recent direct solicitations for air or nitrogen jet evaporators at the state or local level in the available source material.

Without additional recent opportunities in the dataset, the geographic distribution and issuing-body concentration for this code cannot be characterized. The single RFI from Santa Clara County does not reflect solicitation activity aligned with the legacy NIGP category definition. Firms pursuing work under this code should monitor California public health procurement channels and regional laboratory equipment suppliers, but current activity signals in this category appear limited.
