NIGP 71036: Artificial Limbs, Hooks and Accessories

NIGP 71036 Artificial Limbs, Hooks And Accessories is an Item code under which state and local governments procure prosthetic devices and related hardware for individuals with limb loss or limb difference. The code covers prosthetic limbs (upper and lower), terminal devices such as prosthetic hands and hooks, and the accessories and components that support prosthetic function and fit — including sockets, alignment hardware, suspension systems, and replacement parts. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state health and human services departments, counties, cities, school districts, and specialized rehabilitation or disability-services agencies. Purchase volumes tend to be episodic and driven by individual client need rather than standing demand, though agencies with large populations of veterans, individuals with disabilities, or recipients of state rehabilitation services represent repeat buyers.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities posted under NIGP 71036. Without posted solicitations to examine, geographic concentration and representative recent activity cannot be characterized from current market data. Firms pursuing this code should monitor state vocational rehabilitation agencies, state health departments with prosthetic-provision programs, veterans' affairs offices, and special-education procurement units for episodic RFQs and ITBs, particularly in states with large populations receiving state-funded rehabilitation services.
