NIGP 89878: Radiological Equipment and Accessories (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 89878 Radiological Equipment And Accessories (Not Otherwise Classified), an Item code, encompasses diagnostic imaging systems, radiation therapy equipment, and occupational medical surveillance services that state and local governments procure to support healthcare delivery, occupational health compliance, and facility diagnostics. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing mobile radiology and ultrasound services, linear accelerator systems with software and training, point-of-care ultrasound equipment fleets, radiologic equipment installations at educational institutions, preclinical imaging and irradiation systems for research, and body scanner equipment for correctional facilities. Issuing bodies include state health and corrections departments (California Department of Veterans Affairs, Utah Department of Corrections, Washington State Department of Transportation), county government (Maricopa County), municipal health systems (Halifax Health in Florida, CommUnityCare in Texas), and academic medical centers (Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center). The mix reflects both operational healthcare procurement and specialized research or security applications, with contractual requirements often including board-certified professional oversight, regulatory compliance (HIPAA, state occupational health codes, Medicare/Medi-Cal linkage), insurance minimums, and detailed performance specifications.

Geographic activity spans California, Texas, Washington, Utah, Florida, Idaho (through the NASPO ValuePoint cooperative purchasing vehicle), and Illinois, with no single state dominating recent solicitations. Representative opportunities include the California Department of Veterans Affairs' IFB 26CRY001 for mobile radiology and ultrasound services at the Veterans Home of California-Yountville, due September 8, 2026, with a five percent California Small/Micro business preference and DVBE incentive options; CommUnityCare's RFP 2026-05-001 for point-of-care ultrasound equipment (three cart-based and three handheld devices with Epic EHR integration), due June 11, 2026; Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center's IFB 739-SL3825170 for a Precision X-Ray Radiobiology/Preclinical Imaging and Irradiation System package, due September 11, 2026, with HUB Subcontracting Plan requirements above $100,000 expenditures; Maricopa County's IFB 362910 for radiologic equipment and installation at three colleges, due October 22, 2026; and the State of Idaho's NASPO ValuePoint RFP #1433 for medical supplies via cooperative purchasing, due November 9, 2026.
