NIGP 94829: Dental Prosthetic Manufacturing Services

NIGP 94829 Dental Prosthetic Manufacturing Services, an Item code, covers temporary dental staffing and on-call clinical dental services procured by county health systems and municipal corrections departments. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect procurement of licensed dentists and ancillary dental health professionals to fill temporary staffing gaps and provide emergency dental care in correctional facilities and health systems. The County of Santa Clara Health System, for example, is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and therapy services—a non-exclusive, multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed work that the Health System may maintain for five years. The City of Atlanta Department of Corrections has separately posted a multi-step sealed bid process for on-call inmate dental services requiring a Georgia-licensed dentist with a minimum of ten years of general dentistry experience and five years of correctional dental treatment experience, with scope limited to screenings, examinations, emergency dental care, sedation fillings, extractions of non-restorable teeth, and specialist referral—excluding root canals, oral surgery, denture replacement, crowns, and bridgework.

The code sees recent activity concentrated in California and Georgia. The City of Atlanta Department of Corrections posted two notices for on-call inmate dental services at the Atlanta City Detention Center (prequalification phases due June 30, 2026, and July 9, 2026, respectively, followed by formal Invitation for Bid), with the facility operating at 1,183 capacity and average daily population of 60 inmates. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted a Request for Proposals (RFSQHHSFY270052) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing services with a response date of October 7, 2026. Both issuing bodies operate through multi-phase competitive processes: Atlanta's use of prequalification and sealed bidding reflects single-award correctional healthcare procurement, while Santa Clara's qualified list approach allows ongoing deployment from a pool without guaranteed volumes.
