NIGP 94844: Health Physics Services

NIGP 94844 Health Physics Services, an Item code, covers occupational health and wellness services that state and local governments procure for their workforces and populations — including pre-employment and fitness-for-duty medical examinations, occupational medicine consultations, wellness screenings, behavioral health counseling, and specialized health assessments tied to industry standards such as NFPA compliance. Recent solicitations show health departments, counties, municipalities, and special-purpose health systems buying physical examinations (DOT medical certifications, asbestos and respirator evaluations, audiometric and laboratory testing), occupational wellness programs, mental health and chemical dependency counseling, and temporary clinical staffing to fill gaps in ancillary health professional services. County governments and regional health systems appear as repeat buyers; Cobb County, Georgia and Hillsborough County, Florida have each issued recent RFPs or ITBs for occupational health and wellness services, and Seminole County, Florida is seeking physician expertise as Medical Director for its EMS system.

Activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with recent opportunities also posted by Texas cooperative purchasing vehicles and Arizona municipalities. Representative recent solicitations include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 26-00315 for Comprehensive Occupational Wellness Examinations (bids due July 21, 2026; estimated contract value $2,480,940 over three years) requiring NFPA 1500 and 1582 compliance for up to 1,300 Fire Rescue members; Seminole County's RFP 527726GCM for Medical Director Services Agreement (proposals due August 5, 2026) requiring a Florida-licensed physician with 10 years pre-hospital emergency medicine experience and 24/7 availability; Cobb County, Georgia's solicitation for NFPA-compliant occupational health and wellness services (proposals due October 22, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFP seeking a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (Audiology, Cardiology, Diagnostic Imaging, Gastroenterology, Orthopedic, and Therapy Services, among others; proposals due October 7, 2026). Contract terms typically span one to three years with renewal options, and compensation structures vary from flat-fee service arrangements to Medicare billing pass-through models.
