NIGP 83887: Telemedical Equipment

NIGP 83887 Telemedical Equipment is an Item code that encompasses pharmacy benefit management services, specialty drug administration, and related clinical pharmacy support systems procured by state and local health benefits administrators, human resources departments, and county health consortiums. Based on recent solicitations, the code captures comprehensive PBM administration including claims processing, formulary development, specialty pharmacy network management, therapeutic alternatives, fraud prevention, and pharmacy data analytics—services that integrate with broader employee health benefit programs rather than point-of-care telemedical hardware or remote patient monitoring platforms. Issuing bodies under this code include county boards of commissioners (via human resources and health care consortium divisions) and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit that aggregates demand across counties, school districts, tribal governments, and other public entities nationwide.

Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division posted an RFP (RFP 25-8414) on August 20, 2026 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services with a response deadline of April 9, 2026, seeking a single vendor to manage approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending near $8.7 million; the contract term runs three years with two optional one-year renewals and includes a cooperative purchasing provision. Sourcewell issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment with a response deadline of June 16, 2026, establishing a framework agreement for use by participating Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, and nonprofit organizations nationwide. Recent activity appears concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast, with procurement activity driven by county consortiums and statewide cooperative purchasing entities seeking standardized solutions for health benefits administration and interagency equipment procurement.
