NIGP 34540: First Aid and Safety Teaching Equipment and Supplies: Charts, Manuals, Posters, Safety Placards, Safety Training Videos, etc.

NIGP 34540 First Aid and Safety Teaching Equipment and Supplies is an Item code under which state and local governments procure training delivery services, equipment, and materials spanning occupational safety instruction, emergency response certification, and specialized industrial hygiene support. Recent solicitations show governments buying hands-on CPR and First Aid certification; Cal-OSHA and OSHA-mandated safety curricula delivered to public-works, utility, and law-enforcement workforces; industrial hygiene consulting and exposure sampling for utilities; confined-space rescue and hazmat response training; rigging equipment inspection and certification services; and specialized platforms and materials for recurring, department-wide safety compliance. Issuing bodies span county probation departments, municipal utilities and water services, city fire and public-works divisions, transit authorities, convention centers, and sheriff's offices. San Mateo County Probation Department and San Mateo County Sheriff's Office appear as repeat buyers in the recent opportunity set. The scope tilts toward services—instruction, platform licensing, and industrial hygiene consultation—rather than toward passive educational materials; training must meet American Heart Association, American Red Cross, OSHA, Cal-OSHA, NFPA, or regulatory-board standards, and vendors compete on instructor credentials, compliance capability, and delivery timeline as much as on price.

Geographic activity concentrates in California (San Mateo County, City of Pasadena, City of Phoenix), Florida (Orlando Utilities Commission, Broward County), Arizona (City of Tucson), and the District of Columbia (Events DC). Representative recent opportunities include San Mateo County Sheriff's Office soliciting replacement Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus units and components through IFB 2027IFB00042 with a response deadline of August 28, 2026; City of Pasadena issuing RFP 2026RFP0519 for Cal-OSHA safety training delivery across multiple departments with proposals due September 25, 2026; Orlando Utilities Commission issuing RFP 9174 for occupational safety training, industrial hygiene services, and radiation compliance with responses due May 27, 2026; San Mateo County Probation Department seeking annual training curriculum services through RFP 2026RFP00415 with proposals due August 18, 2026 and contract commencement July 1, 2027; and Events DC soliciting First Aid, CPR, and AED training through RFQ 25S054 restricted to District of Columbia DSLBD-certified small and disadvantaged business enterprises, with responses due July 27, 2026. Local-vendor and small-business preferences appear frequently; Events DC's solicitation restricts competition to certified local, small, or disadvantaged enterprises, while Broward County and San Mateo County apply location-based or size-based preference point structures.
