About NIGP 99277
NIGP 99277 Scientific Equipment Testing and Calibration Services, an Item code, encompasses calibration and maintenance of precision laboratory instruments to ISO 17025 and other forensic accreditation standards. State and local governments buy calibration services for forensic equipment—pipettes, micrometers, calipers, balances, thermometers, pH meters, and specialized detection instruments—performed by vendors holding ISO 17025 accreditation and maintaining NIST-traceable standards, along with on-site and off-site preventative maintenance and repair. Issuing bodies include state police forensic laboratories, county and city forensic science divisions, and emergency management agencies. Illinois State Police Forensic Science Laboratories and the City of Philadelphia Office of Forensic Science appear as repeat buyers in recent solicitations, with procurement spanning annual to three-year contract terms and firm fixed-price or per-unit ordering formats. Contracts typically require ISO 17025 compliance certification, comprehensive calibration documentation including "As Found" and "As Left" test data, and 12-month warranties on labor and parts.
Recent activity concentrates in Illinois and California. The Illinois State Police solicited bids for microscope maintenance across nine forensic lab locations statewide (RFQ, May 4, 2026 due date), pipette calibration services for forensic labs (RFQ, April 14, 2026 due date), and Ludlum radiation detection instrument calibration for the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (RFQ, June 18, 2026 due date). The City of Philadelphia issued a small order purchase for calipers, micrometers, pipettes, balances, and weight calibration for the Office of Forensic Science (SOP, July 14, 2026 due date), with LBE bid preference under Philadelphia Code Chapter 17-109. San Mateo County, California posted an RFQ for three-year forensic lab equipment calibration covering Hamilton autoclaves, Rainin and Eppendorf pipettes, Mitutoyo and Starrett precision instruments, and gun barrel measuring rods (RFQ due date March 2026).
