NIGP 84560: Recycled Testing Apparatus, Instruments and Accessories

NIGP 84560 Recycled Testing Apparatus, Instruments And Accessories is an Item code covering refurbished or reconditioned laboratory and field testing equipment purchased by state and local governments seeking to reduce capital spending on new instruments while maintaining measurement and diagnostic capability. State and local procurement offices, school districts, community colleges, and state universities deploy this code when acquiring used or certified-refurbished testing devices — including but not limited to analytical instruments, measurement gauges, environmental monitors, and diagnostic apparatus — either as direct purchases or through cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across jurisdictions. The code reflects a dual-sourcing strategy: jurisdictions pursuing it balance budget constraints against the technical specifications and calibration certifications required for compliant use in regulated environments such as water quality monitoring, air emissions testing, and laboratory certification programs.
