UNSPSC 42203410 Cardiovascular catheter sheath is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it overwhelmingly consist of procurements for Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), cardiac monitors, defibrillator batteries and accessories, and ancillary emergency medical equipment—not cardiovascular catheter sheaths. State and local governments buying under this code are acquiring AED units and replacement components (batteries, pads, cuffs, hoses), cardiac monitoring devices for emergency medical services and hospitals, and related emergency response equipment. The issuing bodies span school districts (Cobb County School District, Utica Community Schools in Michigan), county emergency services (Bryan County Board of Commissioners, Sarasota County, Marion County Florida, Harris County Texas), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Colorado, State of Georgia), municipalities (City of Dallas), and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles (NASPO ValuePoint, Sourcewell). School districts and county EMS departments appear as repeat buyers across the recent opportunities.

The geographic spread includes Texas, Georgia, Michigan, Colorado, Florida, and Idaho, with cooperative purchasing consortia (NASPO ValuePoint, Sourcewell) extending reach across multiple states and jurisdictions nationwide. Representative recent opportunities include Cobb County School District's RFQ for AED equipment, batteries, and accessories with an estimated expenditure of approximately $50,000 (due July 27, 2026), Utica Community Schools' IFB for Automated External Defibrillators (due October 28, 2026), and Bryan County Board of Commissioners' sealed-bid procurement for ten EMS cardiac monitors (due September 10, 2026). NASPO ValuePoint RFP 1433 for medical supplies (due November 9, 2026) establishes a master-agreement framework for state and local entities across multiple states. The State of Colorado executed a sole-source procurement of LIFEPAK monitor/defibrillators from Stryker (challenge period closed September 28, 2026). The code shows significant recent activity, though the equipment actually being procured diverges substantially from the code's nominal taxonomy description.
