NIGP 94827: Dental Laboratory Services

NIGP 94827 Dental Laboratory Services, an Item code, encompasses specialized dental equipment procurement and on-call clinical dental staffing services for educational institutions, detention facilities, and health systems. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring advanced diagnostic imaging equipment for dental education programs, establishing vendor pools for temporary clinical dental staffing across multiple health professional specialties, and contracting with individual licensed dentists to deliver routine and emergency care to incarcerated populations. The issuing bodies include county health systems, municipal correctional departments, and community colleges, reflecting a mix of educational, public-health, and custodial-care segments.

Activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia based on recent postings. Valencia College's School of Allied Health in Florida is procuring four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., totaling $143,196.00, through a sole-source procurement with a due date of November 27, 2025. The County of Santa Clara Health System in California opened a non-exclusive, multiple-award RFQ on July 7, 2026, with proposals due October 7, 2026, seeking qualified vendors for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, and sterile processing—though this solicitation explicitly excludes nursing and physician staffing. The City of Atlanta's Department of Corrections issued two separate pre-advertisement notices on June 11, 2026, for on-call inmate dental services through a multi-step sealed bid process (prequalification phase followed by IFB), requiring a Georgia-licensed dentist with ten years of general practice and five years of correctional dentistry experience to provide screenings, examinations, emergency care, and hygienist services at the Atlanta City Detention Center, with initial prequalification due June 30, 2026.
