NIGP 49350: Osmometers

NIGP 49350 Osmometers is an Item code that in recent state and local procurement covers medical laboratory equipment and systems supporting clinical and public health operations. Based on recent solicitations, state and local governments buy temperature monitoring and data logging devices for vaccine and medical-supply storage, along with lab information management systems that integrate workflow, compliance, and data analysis for public health laboratories. Issuing bodies range from state corrections departments to county public health agencies, reflecting the code's application across clinical, correctional healthcare, and public health laboratory environments.

The Illinois Department of Corrections posted an Invitation for Bid (IFB) on May 1, 2026, for medical-grade refrigeration units and vaccine data loggers across 26 facilities statewide, with a response deadline of May 18, 2026; the procurement required dual-channel temperature loggers with continuous monitoring and removable probes to support vaccine storage compliance. The County of Santa Clara issued a Request for Information (RFI) on April 7, 2026, with a response deadline of April 22, 2026, for a modern, scalable lab information management system to support full-spectrum workflows in its Public Health Lab. Recent activity spans Illinois and California, with both solicitations emphasizing compliance, data integrity, and operational integration across temperature-sensitive and information-intensive healthcare and public health functions.
