UNSPSC 42181726: Manual defibrillator external paddles

Electrode defibrillator paddles for use external to the body

UNSPSC 42181726 Manual defibrillator external paddles is a Commodity code covering automated external defibrillators (AEDs), replacement batteries, accessories, and related cardiac monitoring and defibrillation equipment that state and local governments procure for emergency medical services, fire departments, schools, and public facilities. State and local purchasing offices treat this code broadly to capture not only manual defibrillator paddles but also complete AED units, OEM batteries, blood pressure cuffs, cardiac monitors, and ancillary supplies needed to operate cardiac response equipment. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Utica Community Schools in Michigan, Cobb County School District in Georgia), county emergency services and commissioners' offices (Bryan County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, Sarasota County in Florida, Marion County in Florida, Harris County in Texas), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Colorado, State of Georgia), and city procurement offices (City of Dallas). Cobb County School District appears twice in the recent record with separate AED solicitations, suggesting recurring replacement and expansion activity within that jurisdiction.

Recent procurement activity spans multiple states with notable clustering in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Colorado. Representative recent opportunities include Utica Community Schools (Michigan) posting an IFB for Automated External Defibrillators on October 14, 2026 with bids due October 28, 2026 through the Bonfire online portal; Harris County (Texas) issuing an RFP for Automated External Defibrillators and Related Items posted April 24, 2026 with proposals due May 18, 2026; and the State of Georgia posting an RFQ for Automated External Defibrillators under RFQ#26-210 on July 31, 2026 with quotes due September 2, 2026. Cobb County School District sought AED equipment, batteries, and accessories with estimated expenditures of approximately $50,000 in two separate quote requests in June and July 2026. Additional activity includes NASPO ValuePoint cooperative purchasing RFPs for medical supplies (November 9, 2026 deadline) spanning multiple states, and Sarasota County requesting quotes for specific OEM batteries (Cardiac Science G5 AED batteries, part number XBTAED001A) in August 2026. The State of Colorado pursued sole-source procurement of LIFEPAK monitor/defibrillators from Stryker, and Marion County, Florida re-solicited blood pressure cuffs and hoses compatible with LIFEPAK 15S defibrillators.
