NIGP 46514: Cardiovascular Instrumentation: Defibrillators, Heart Pumps, Monitoring Equipment, etc.

NIGP 46514 Cardiovascular Instrumentation: Defibrillators, Heart Pumps, Monitoring Equipment, Etc., an Item code, captures state and local procurement of automated external defibrillators (AEDs), cardiac monitors, defibrillator accessories, and replacement parts for emergency response and healthcare delivery. Recent solicitations reveal a market focused on AED equipment and consumables—batteries, pads, cuffs, and related monitoring accessories—driven primarily by school districts, county emergency services departments, fire rescue agencies, and state health departments. Work spans competitive bidding for new equipment, sole source procurements of OEM-compatible consumables, and framework agreements through cooperative purchasing vehicles. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Utica Community Schools in Michigan; Cobb County School District in Georgia), county boards of commissioners and emergency services (Bryan County, Georgia; Sarasota County, Florida; Marion County, Florida), state agencies and cooperative purchasing consortia (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Colorado, State of Georgia, NASPO ValuePoint), city procurement offices (City of Dallas), and large regional transit and emergency authorities (Harris County, Texas). School districts and county EMS departments appear as repeat buyers, with Cobb County School District issuing multiple AED RFQs within a three-month window, each with estimated expenditures near $50,000.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Colorado, with additional state-level cooperative purchasing coordination through NASPO ValuePoint involving Idaho and South Dakota. Representative recent opportunities include Utica Community Schools (Michigan) issuing an IFB for Automated External Defibrillators due October 28, 2026; Bryan County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) soliciting sealed bids for ten EMS cardiac monitors due September 10, 2026; the State of Georgia issuing RFQ#26-210 for Automated External Defibrillators due September 2, 2026; Harris County (Texas) posting an RFP for Automatic External Defibrillators and Related Items due May 18, 2026; and the State of Colorado executing a sole source procurement from Stryker for LIFEPAK monitor/defibrillators, with challenge period closed September 28, 2026. NASPO ValuePoint RFP 1443 for medical supplies, sponsored by Idaho and administered through South Dakota, accepts proposals through November 9, 2026, establishing master-agreement framework pricing for multiple states and local entities. Sarasota County (Florida) issued a single-source quote request for OEM Cardiac Science G5 AED batteries with current-year manufacturing and four-year warranty requirements, reflecting the consumables stream underlying equipment procurements.
