NIGP 78060: Infant (Pediatric) Scales

NIGP Item 78060 Infant (Pediatric) Scales covers specialized weighing equipment designed for infants and young children, procured by state and local health departments, school districts, hospitals, and clinics to support pediatric care, wellness programs, and growth monitoring. State and local agencies use these scales in pediatric clinics, public health facilities, school health offices, and community health centers to measure and track infant and child weight during routine examinations, vaccination visits, and developmental assessments. The equipment typically includes digital or mechanical scales with pediatric-range capacity, often featuring features such as length measurement capability, low-profile design for safety, and calibration to meet clinical accuracy standards.

The recent-opportunities block contains no posted state or local solicitations under this code, indicating either limited current procurement activity or infrequent competitive bidding for this commodity among state and local jurisdictions. Business development professionals should monitor this code for emerging demand driven by public health initiatives, school health program expansions, or periodic replacement cycles in pediatric care facilities, but the absence of posted opportunities suggests this is not an active market segment at present.
