NIGP 89847: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Systems and Accessories (Mri)

NIGP 89847 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Systems and Accessories (MRI), an Item code, encompasses diagnostic imaging equipment and services that state and local governments procure for occupational health surveillance, correctional-facility medical programs, and clinical diagnostics. Recent solicitations show two distinct market segments: occupational medical surveillance contracting that incorporates imaging as a component of broader health screening programs, and standalone mobile MRI and CT diagnostic services delivered at fixed or correctional facilities. The issuing bodies are health departments, transportation agencies, and correctional authorities, reflecting demand across occupational safety compliance, inmate medical care, and clinical operations. Scope includes provision of self-contained mobile imaging units (minimum 1.5T MRI and 64-slice CT equipment), ARRT-certified technologists, board-certified radiologist interpretation, quality-control testing with documented calibration logs, and HIPAA-compliant reporting—with turnaround times ranging from same-day for STAT examinations to 48 hours for routine reports.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Pacific Northwest and Mountain West. Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries posted RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026, seeking occupational medical surveillance services (including baseline, periodic, and exit examinations) across 14 ferry locations with a response deadline of October 9, 2026; evaluation weights cost at 40 percent and non-cost performance factors at 60 percent. Utah Department of Health and Human Services posted DHHS26117 on July 9, 2026, requesting mobile MRI and CT services at Utah State Correctional Facility in Salt Lake County with a July 31, 2026 response deadline; this RFP allocates 70 percent of scoring to technical criteria (offeror qualifications, radiologist interpretation capability, equipment certification, Wasatch Front geographic experience, and compliance with 30-day turnaround scheduling) and 30 percent to cost, with a 600-point technical threshold required for proposal approval.
