NIGP 94851: Imaging and Diagnostic Services

NIGP 94851 Imaging and Diagnostic Services is an Item code under which state and local governments procure psychological evaluations, forensic medical examinations, diagnostic imaging systems, actuarial services, and specialized health professional staffing to support clinical operations, employee wellness, and compliance with regulatory or clinical standards. Recent solicitations show state departments, county health agencies, school districts, and specialized public authorities actively using this code to source pre-employment and fitness-for-duty psychological assessments, Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) infrastructure, mobile diagnostic imaging (MRI and CT services), and on-demand health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories. The State of Delaware Department of Government Support Services posted RFP GSS27756-PSYCH_SVCS in October 2026 for professional psychological services—including pre-employment evaluations, fit-for-duty assessments, post-incident evaluations, and critical incident stress debriefings—with proposals due November 12, 2026 and fixed pricing through November 12, 2027. San Mateo Medical Center solicited a Diagnostic Imaging PACS to replace legacy systems and support 65,000 annual radiology studies with 99.9 percent uptime and EPIC integration, with proposals due October 21, 2026. The County of Orange Health Care Agency and Santa Clara Health System both established qualified vendor pools for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across diagnostic imaging, therapy services, respiratory care, surgical services, and related specialties, with no guaranteed volume.

Geographic activity concentrates in California (Orange County, San Mateo County, Santa Clara County), Utah (state Department of Health and Human Services, state corrections, school districts), and Delaware, with lower-frequency activity in Texas and Florida. Issuing bodies span state health and human services departments, county health agencies, county sheriff's offices, school districts, medical centers, and transit authorities. The recent opportunity set reflects sustained investment in mental health and crisis services (psychological evaluations, trauma-focused counseling, wellness programs), healthcare infrastructure modernization (PACS systems, mobile imaging), and workforce flexibility (temporary clinical staffing pools). Insurance requirements typically mandate $1 million to $2 million commercial general liability and professional liability coverage. Contracts range from $40,000 to $18 million and run one to five years, with renewal provisions common. Preference scoring and set-asides (OCLSB, DVBE, MBE, WBE) apply in several California and Utah procurements.
