UNSPSC 42294204 Micro or delicate or plastic surgery instrument sets (Commodity) does not align with the state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code. The recent solicitations reflect procurement of automated external defibrillators (AEDs), cardiac monitoring equipment, defibrillator service plans, and related medical emergency supplies—none of which fall within micro or delicate or plastic surgery instruments. The code shows no recent relevant activity; the mismatch suggests either a data categorization error in the posting systems or that issuers are applying an overly broad commodity classification to medical emergency response equipment.

State and local governments across Florida, Texas, Oregon, Washington, and Georgia have issued RFPs, informal solicitations, and cooperative purchasing agreements for AEDs and cardiac monitoring systems over the past four months, but these opportunities are not genuinely classified under surgical instrument codes. The City of Tampa (26P00028) solicited Cardiac Science Powerheart G5 AEDs with a $60,000 estimate and SLBE bid discount; Cobb County School District (Q27009) requested AED equipment and accessories with approximately $50,000 expenditure; Harris County, Texas issued an RFP for AEDs and related items (260079) due May 18, 2026; and the City of Orlando Fire Department (S260394) conducted a sole-source procurement for an X-Series Defibrillator/Monitor Worry-Free Service Plan valued at $318,123.66. The City of Eugene, Oregon pursued cardiac monitors from Stryker through Sourcewell for $1.44 million.
