NIGP 94855: Medical and Laboratory Services (Non-Physician)

NIGP 94855 Medical and Laboratory Services (Non-Physician), an Item code, encompasses staffing and clinical services that state and local governments procure directly—nursing care for medically complex students, laboratory testing and specimen analysis, occupational health screenings, drug and alcohol testing, phlebotomy, and specialized diagnostic procedures. Recent solicitations show K-12 districts, corrections departments, health departments, county health systems, and state agencies all drawing from this code to fill gaps in permanent clinical capacity or to meet specialized regulatory demands (CLIA compliance for labs, DOT certification for occupational physicals, pediatric nursing expertise for school districts).

Recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies. Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) posted a Notice of Intent to Purchase Single/Sole Source for supplemental nursing services—specifically 1:1 Advanced Practice Registered Nurses, Registered Nurses, or Licensed Practical Nurses for medically fragile students, with services including ventilator management, tracheostomy care, and medication administration, response date now closed (December 2, 2025). The Illinois Department of Human Services, Bureau of Pharmacy and Clinical Support Services has issued two separate Invitations for Bid (IFBs) for clinical laboratory services across 14 mental health and developmental disability facilities statewide, with estimated annual value of $700,000 and responses due September 9 and September 30, 2026.
