NIGP 97939: Furniture, Hospital - Specialized, Rental or Lease

NIGP Item 97939 Furniture, Hospital - Specialized, Rental or Lease covers rental and lease arrangements for specialized medical beds and related therapeutic equipment in state and local healthcare facilities. State and local governments procuring under this code obtain long-term rental agreements for high-acuity care equipment such as air fluidized therapy beds, including delivery, installation, maintenance, repair, and removal as bundled services. The issuing bodies are state-operated healthcare facilities and veteran care institutions, which structure these procurements as small purchases or sole-source awards when equipment is facility-specific or clinically mandated.

The Illinois Veterans Home Quincy (IVHQ) issued a small purchase with sole-source conditions on August 17, 2026 for rental of an Envella Air Fluidized Therapy Bed (product number P0819), with a due date of August 18, 2026. The procurement specified immediate implementation, a daily rental rate of $103.37 ($37,730.05 annually), and a maximum contract term of ten years including renewals. The vendor was required to provide twenty-four-hour service dispatch, written service reports following each maintenance event, and full transportation and installation costs within the rental rate. The contract included $1 million commercial liability insurance and workers' compensation, with prevailing wage compliance and contingent termination authority if state funds became unavailable. This represents the only recent opportunity in the source data; geographic concentration and issuing-body patterns are not yet established from a single posting.
