NIGP 87570: Surgical Supplies: Catheters, Gut, Needles, Syringes, etc.

NIGP 87570 Surgical Supplies: Catheters, Gut, Needles, Syringes, Etc., an Item code, encompasses surgical and medical supplies that state and local governments procure for clinical operations. Recent activity under this code reflects demand for veterinary surgical and diagnostic materials, boarding services, and pet clinic supplies. The County of Orange, Sheriff-Coroner issued an IFB in July 2026 for specialized veterinarian services including surgical procedures, diagnostic imaging, dental care, and boarding for its K-9 unit, with the contractor required to maintain advanced equipment including MRI and CT imaging and employ board-certified specialists in oncology, surgery, radiology, neurology, and dentistry. Harris County Public Health Services Office posted an ITB in July 2026 for pet clinic supplies and related items. Issuing bodies under this code include county sheriffs' offices and public health departments; solicitations appear episodic rather than recurring, suggesting procurement driven by specific operational needs or contract renewals rather than standing demand cycles.

Geographic activity concentrates in California and Texas based on the two most recent opportunities. The County of Orange IFB, due September 3, 2026, requires the contractor to be located within Orange County and no more than 40 miles from the Sheriff's Department Patrol K-9 Unit in Santa Ana, with a firm fixed-fee structure covering an initial three-year term renewable for two additional years and a 5% preference deduction available to County of Orange Local Small Business or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise certified bidders. The Harris County ITB, due July 27, 2026, offers limited sourcing detail in publicly available records. Neither opportunity specifies contract value, limiting visibility into activity volume under this code.
