UNSPSC 42142811: Vascular compression wraps and bandages

In this classification, this commodity indicates a wrap or a bandage that provides compression for a body part of a person. The purpose is to reduce swelling and enhance flow of bodily fluid in the body part.

UNSPSC 42142811 Vascular compression wraps and bandages is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers automated external defibrillators (AEDs), cardiac monitors, defibrillator pads, and related emergency medical equipment — a substantial mismatch between the nominal code scope and what is actually being solicited. School districts, county governments, state agencies, and fire-rescue departments are the primary issuing bodies. Cobb County School District in Georgia has posted multiple AED solicitations, and Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Colorado, Georgia, and Michigan represent repeat or significant recent activity. The work ranges from outright equipment purchases (AED units, cardiac monitors, LIFEPAK defibrillators) to accessories and consumables (batteries, pads, blood pressure cuffs compatible with specific monitor models, and miscellaneous supplies). Several solicitations are single-source or re-solicitation notices tied to incumbent equipment platforms — Marion County, Florida is re-soliciting blood pressure cuff accessories for LIFEPAK 15S devices, and Sarasota County specified OEM batteries for Cardiac Science G5 AED units. A cooperative purchasing vehicle — NASPO ValuePoint RFP 1443 for medical supplies — opens the market to multiple state and local entities across participating jurisdictions.

Recent opportunities span Michigan, Georgia, Texas, Colorado, Idaho (as a sponsor state for cooperative purchasing), and Florida. Representative solicitations include Utica Community Schools (Michigan) seeking AED bids due October 28, 2026 via RFP; NASPO ValuePoint medical supplies RFP with a November 9, 2026 deadline open to state and local entities nationwide; Cobb County School District (Georgia) requesting AED equipment and accessories quotes for approximately $50,000; Bryan County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) seeking ten cardiac monitors via sealed bid due September 10, 2026; Harris County (Texas) issuing an RFP for AEDs and related items due May 18, 2026; and the State of Georgia requesting AED quotations under RFQ #26-210 due September 2, 2026. The City of Dallas posted an informal solicitation for defibrillators due May 15, 2026, and Texas Health and Human Services Commission requested bids on miscellaneous medical supplies including defibrillator pads for a state supported living center, with an estimated historical contract value of $50,000 over the prior twelve-month period. The code shows active pursuit across school districts and emergency response infrastructure but exhibits scope misalignment with its nominal product category.
