State and local governments procure these scales as equipment purchases for public health departments, county hospitals, municipal clinics, and school district health offices. The scales range from standard mechanical or digital models to heavy-duty bariatric units designed for patients exceeding standard weight limits, and many include features such as height measurement, memory storage, and electronic data transmission to patient management systems. Healthcare facility operators issue RFQs and IFBs for replacement stock, new facility outfitting, and compliance with clinical standards.
