NIGP 94849: Hygiene Services, Industrial

NIGP 94849 Hygiene Services, Industrial is an Item code under which state and local governments solicit temporary staffing for specialized clinical and ancillary health professions. Recent activity shows health systems and hospital networks establishing qualified vendor pools for rapid-deployment temporary staffing across ancillary clinical categories — positions like audiology, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, sterile processing, therapy services, and patient transport — rather than hygiene or industrial sanitation roles as the legacy code name might suggest. The scope reflects modern healthcare workforce management: vendors on these qualified lists provide on-call or temporary clinical professionals to fill short-term operational gaps, typically negotiated case-by-case with no guaranteed volume or contract term.

The County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) on July 7, 2026, with responses due October 7, 2026, to establish a non-exclusive multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories, with a potential five-year qualification window. The solicitation explicitly excludes nursing, physician, and other non-clinical staffing, and allows proposers to self-select single or multiple specialties without penalty. Geographic and issuing-body data from the recent-opportunities block is limited to this single California health system solicitation; broader state and local activity under this code is not captured in the source.
