NIGP 49375: Spectrophotometers, Infrared

NIGP 49375 Spectrophotometers, Infrared is an Item code that captures laboratory analytical instruments used in state and local public health operations, though recent procurement activity under this code is sparse. The County of Santa Clara issued a Request for Information in April 2026 for a Public Health Lab Information Management Solution Replacement — a solicitation that signals equipment and systems integration needs within state and local laboratory environments, but does not directly solicit spectrophotometry hardware. State and local public health departments, county laboratory facilities, and environmental testing operations represent the primary customer base for infrared spectrophotometers under this code, though the recent opportunity record does not show active standalone hardware solicitations.

The County of Santa Clara's RFI (RFITSSFY260686), posted April 7, 2026 with a response deadline of April 22, 2026, represents the sole recent state and local contract opportunity in the source material under this code. The procurement sought a modern, scalable lab information management system capable of supporting full-range workflows for the Public Health Lab, indicating that California public health infrastructure modernization is an active driver of laboratory technology spending. The County did not specify budget parameters, set-asides, incumbent vendor details, or existing technology infrastructure constraints in the RFI announcement. No other states or jurisdictions appear in the recent opportunities block, and no standalone spectrophotometer solicitations are documented in the source material.
