NIGP 89880: X-Ray Machines (Diagnostic) and Accessories (Except Dental)

NIGP 89880 X-Ray Machines (Diagnostic) and Accessories (Except Dental), an Item code, encompasses diagnostic imaging equipment and supporting systems purchased by educational institutions, health systems, and counties for clinical and educational use. State and local buyers under this code acquire ultrasound systems, radiologic suites, mobile fluoroscopic C-arm equipment, preclinical imaging and irradiation systems, and associated installation and maintenance services. Recent solicitations show universities and community colleges procuring new diagnostic imaging platforms for allied health programs and health services delivery, with purchases ranging from single equipment units to multi-location suite installations. Sole-source procurements dominate the recent activity, reflecting the proprietary and manufacturer-specific nature of diagnostic imaging technology; competitive open bids appear less frequently. Issuing bodies include state university systems and boards of regents, county aviation and community college procurement offices, and regional transit authorities seeking occupational health support services. Educational institutions account for a substantial share of recent volume, particularly schools of allied health pursuing imaging equipment for diagnostic medical sonography and dental hygiene programs.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, Washington, and Arizona. Valencia College in Florida posted two sole-source procurements in October 2026: a Philips Affiniti 70 Ultrasound System for $96,093 (SS202616, due November 13, 2025) and four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology for $143,196 (SS202620, due November 27, 2025).
