NIGP 89820: Computerized Axial Tomography (Cat) Scanning Systems

NIGP 89820 Computerized Axial Tomography (CT) Scanning Systems, an Item code, covers diagnostic imaging equipment and services that state and local governments procure to support clinical operations, detention facilities, and public health infrastructure. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring both mobile and fixed CT diagnostic capability, together with the staffing and operational support required to deliver scans and radiological interpretation to inmate and patient populations. The work includes equipment procurement and lease arrangements, technologist staffing, radiologist interpretation services, quality assurance protocols, and turnaround-time commitments tied to clinical urgency levels. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments of health and human services, cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple counties and municipalities, and law enforcement and public safety agencies.

The Utah Department of Health and Human Services posted a mobile MRI and CT services RFP (DHHS26117, due July 31, 2026) seeking self-contained imaging units and qualified personnel to deliver diagnostic scans at Utah State Correctional Facility, with a five-year contract term and scoring weighted 70 percent toward technical criteria—including equipment certification, radiologist capability, and Wasatch Front geographic experience—and 30 percent toward cost. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit cooperative, issued RFP 061626 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities spanning Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington, plus jurisdictions across the United States and Canada, establishing a framework contract available to governmental agencies, school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofits. Recent activity concentrates in the upper Midwest and Mountain West regions, with Utah and Washington showing current procurement momentum.
