NIGP 87513: Diagnostic Equipment, Veterinary: Scopes, Speculums, etc.

NIGP 87513 Diagnostic Equipment, Veterinary: Scopes, Speculums, Etc., an Item code, encompasses portable diagnostic and imaging systems that state and local animal control, zoo, and domestic animal services agencies procure for field examination, radiography, and ultrasound applications. Recent solicitations show counties and cities acquiring brand-specific portable X-ray radiography systems (including generators, digital detectors, and cloud-based image storage), ultrasound equipment (both brand-specific and open-market), veterinary dental radiography machines, and preventive maintenance services for anesthesia and diagnostic equipment at animal shelters. The buying pattern reflects working veterinary services for county animal control operations rather than clinical laboratory scopes or otoscopes—the actual procurement spans diagnostic imaging technology and associated support infrastructure. Issuing bodies include county animal services and control departments (San Mateo County, Collier County, Pinal County, Arizona), city code compliance and animal care agencies (Fort Worth, Louisville Metro Zoo under Kentucky state authority), and specialized state procurement authorities (North Carolina). Most recent activity clusters around counties and cities with in-house animal services operations.

Geographic spread concentrates in California (San Mateo County with two concurrent IFBs for veterinary supplies in July 2026), Florida (Collier County single-source X-ray radiography in July 2026), Arizona (Pinal County RFP for veterinary services with diagnostic scope in May 2026), Kentucky (Louisville Zoo equipment procurements in April 2026), and North Carolina (brand-specific ultrasound in June 2026). Representative opportunities include San Mateo County IFB 2026IFB00592 for Additional Veterinary Supplies (71 line items of pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and vaccines; due July 17, 2026), Collier County PUR19814 single-source procurement of the Enduras Wireless/TR90B Portable Digital Radiography System from MinXray, Inc. (due August 3, 2026; five-year term from August 2026 through August 2031), and City of Fort Worth RFQt 260110 for preventive maintenance services on anesthesia and diagnostic equipment at two animal care facilities (due February 20, 2026). Three-year vendor agreements with as-needed ordering and NET 30 payment terms are standard; responses typically require W-9, vendor certification forms, and proof of SAM registration or equivalent.
