NIGP 625: Optical Equipment, Accessories, and Supplies, Including Telescopes

NIGP 625 Optical Equipment, Accessories, and Supplies, Including Telescopes is a Class code that covers ophthalmic instruments, services, supplies, and diagnostic equipment purchased by state and local health systems, county medical centers, and specialty clinics. State and local governments under this code buy refraction units, tonometers, slit lamps, retinal imaging systems, diagnostic accessories, maintenance and repair services, and consumable supplies for ophthalmology and optometry departments. The issuing bodies include county health systems, specialty medical centers operated by county governments, and municipal health agencies; the County of Santa Clara stands out as an active buyer through its Valley Specialty Center Ophthalmology Department.

The County of Santa Clara issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB-PRC-FY26-0664) for ophthalmic instruments, services, supplies, and accessories on June 21, 2026, with bids due July 10, 2026, under a three-year contract term requiring bidders to be qualified distributors or manufacturers and authorized service and maintenance providers for all specified equipment. The all-or-none bid structure requires response to each line item; the County may require evaluation units of bid products for validation. Recent activity concentrates in California, with limited current posting volume across other jurisdictions supporting this code. The County does not guarantee minimum order volumes and reserves the right to purchase more or less than historical quantities based on Contract Release Purchase Orders issued against the awarded contract.
