NIGP 62539: Eye Testing Equipment (for Intraocular Pressure, Refraction, etc.) (see Item 97 for Vision Testers)

NIGP 62539 Eye Testing Equipment (For Intraocular Pressure, Refraction, Etc.), an Item code, encompasses diagnostic and measurement devices and related services that state and local health systems use to assess ocular health and vision function. State and local procurement under this code includes portable retinal screening devices with integrated displays and wireless connectivity, prescription eyeglasses and lenses for state-supported facilities, and comprehensive ophthalmic diagnostic instruments and maintenance services deployed across outpatient clinics, acute-care hospitals, and specialty care centers. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county health systems (San Mateo County Medical Center, Santa Clara County), state health departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and county specialty care departments. Contracts typically run two to three years and require vendors to demonstrate equipment expertise, authorized service and maintenance capabilities, HIPAA compliance where applicable, and integration with electronic health record systems.

Recent opportunities span California and Texas. San Mateo Medical Center posted an RFP on October 1, 2026 (due November 6, 2026) for handheld retinal screening devices and services with 24/7 technical support, on-site training, and EPIC electronic health record integration across three years; local business and small business preferences of 5 to 10 percentage points apply. Santa Clara County issued an ITB on June 21, 2026 (due July 10, 2026) for a three-year contract covering ophthalmic instruments, services, supplies, and accessories for the Valley Specialty Center Ophthalmology Department and other county departments on an all-or-none bid basis, requiring vendors to be qualified distributors or manufacturers and authorized service providers. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB on June 30, 2026 (due July 15, 2026) for prescription eyeglasses, frames, lenses, and fitting services at Mexia State Supported Living Center, with a blanket purchase order covering a 75-mile service radius and historical annual spending of $48,370.65. Pre-bid conferences and cooperative purchasing vehicles appear standard; insurance requirements, living wage compliance, and data security mandates are common compliance markers in recent solicitations.
