UNSPSC 42294210 Otolaryngological surgical instrument sets is a Commodity-tier code that, despite its name, shows recent state and local procurement activity focused on automated external defibrillators (AEDs), cardiac monitors, and related emergency medical equipment rather than otolaryngological instruments. State and local governments soliciting under this code are acquiring AED units and accessories, defibrillator/monitor service plans, blood pressure cuffs and monitoring devices compatible with specific defibrillator models, and cardiac monitoring equipment for emergency medical services operations. Issuing bodies include county government procurement offices (Cobb County School District in Georgia, Marion County and Collier County in Florida, Harris County in Texas), city procurement departments (City of Dallas, City of Orlando, City of Tampa, City of Eugene), and cooperative purchasing entities serving multiple jurisdictions (Sourcewell on behalf of participating entities in Washington state and Minnesota). The code reflects activity across school districts, fire departments, county emergency management divisions, and municipal emergency services infrastructure.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include Cobb County School District's request for AED equipment, batteries, and accessories (IFB Q27009, due July 6, 2026, estimated $50,000); Harris County's RFP for Automatic External Defibrillators and related items (RFP 260079, due May 18, 2026); the City of Tampa's competitive bid for Cardiac Science Powerheart G5 AEDs and accessories (IFB 26P00028, estimated $60,000, designated as a sheltered market for Small Local Business Enterprises); and the City of Orlando Fire Department's sole-source procurement for X-Series Defibrillator/Monitor Worry-Free Service Plan covering preventive maintenance and extended warranty for 65 units (sole source S260394, contract value $318,123.66 with Zoll Medical Corporation). Marion County, Florida, is re-soliciting blood pressure cuffs and hoses compatible with LIFEPAK 15S defibrillators (21044, due May 6, 2026), and the City of Eugene, Oregon, is using a Sourcewell cooperative agreement to procure cardiac monitors from Stryker (estimated $1.446 million). Activity reflects both equipment procurement and service/maintenance contracts for emergency medical response infrastructure.
