UNSPSC 41116173: Cardiac marker test kits or supplies

Cardiac marker test kits used in hospital laboratory cardiac marker testing.

UNSPSC 41116173 Cardiac marker test kits or supplies (Commodity) encompasses automated external defibrillators (AEDs), defibrillator accessories including batteries and pads, cardiac monitors, blood pressure cuffs compatible with emergency medical equipment, and extended warranty and maintenance service plans for existing defibrillator units. State and local procurement under this code is dominated by emergency response organizations — fire departments, emergency medical services divisions within county governments, and school districts — acquiring equipment and consumables to support sudden cardiac arrest response and patient monitoring during emergency medical operations. Recent solicitations show purchasing bodies treating AEDs and associated accessories as critical infrastructure requiring standardized make-and-model inventories to streamline maintenance and parts management across multiple sites.

Activity spans multiple states with recent concentration in Florida and Texas. Harris County (Texas) issued an RFP for AEDs and related items due May 18, 2026; Cobb County School District (Georgia) requested quotes for AED equipment, batteries, and accessories due July 6, 2026, with estimated spend around $50,000; the City of Tampa (Florida) conducted a competitive bid for Cardiac Science Powerheart G5 AEDs and accessories with an estimated contract amount of $60,000 and a sheltered-market set-aside for certified Small Local Business Enterprises; Marion County Fire Rescue (Florida) re-solicited blood pressure cuffs and hoses compatible with the LIFEPAK 15S defibrillator; and the City of Dallas issued an informal solicitation for defibrillators due May 15, 2026, requiring delivery to Airport Logistics with FOB pricing and one-year warranty. Service-level opportunities also appear, including the City of Orlando Fire Department's sole-source procurement with Zoll Medical Corporation for extended warranty and preventive maintenance covering 65 defibrillator units totaling $318,123.66, and Collier County's single-source notice for a Zoll "Zenix Worry-Free Service Plan" running through February 2030. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are active in this space — the City of Eugene, Oregon used a Sourcewell cooperative agreement to procure Stryker cardiac monitors valued at approximately $1.4 million, and Sourcewell itself issued an RFP on behalf of participating entities in Washington state and nationwide for law enforcement equipment (which likely includes medical response gear) due June 16, 2026.
