NIGP Code 948-28 — Dental Services (Correctional, Public Health, and School Mobile Dental) — is a standardized State, Local, and Education (SLED) procurement classification within Class 948 — Health Related Services of the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Commodity/Services Code taxonomy. Across all 50 states, over 33 state central purchasing offices and thousands of county governments, municipal utilities, public university systems, transit authorities, and K-12 school districts obligate approximately $940 Million annually under NIGP 948-28, generating 240+ Bids active Invitations for Bid (IFBs), Requests for Proposals (RFPs), and informal quote requests each year. The NIGP taxonomy uses a hierarchical structure where the 3-digit Class (948) identifies the broad commodity or service family (Health Related Services) and the 5-digit Class-Item code (948-28) pinpoints the specific service (dental) deliverable. When state and municipal buyers post solicitations on portals such as California Cal eProcure (CDCR), Texas ESBD, New York NYSCR, and Florida MFMP, automated bid invitations are dispatched exclusively to vendors who have added NIGP Class 948 and Item 948-28 to their supplier registration profiles. Typical scopes of work under NIGP 948-28 include On-Site & Mobile Dental Clinic Services for County Jails, Juvenile Facilities & State Prisons; K-12 School-Based Preventive Dental Sealant, Fluoride Varnish & Mobile Screening Programs; and Public Health Department Safety-Net Dental Staffing (Dentists, Hygienists, Assistants).
