UNSPSC 42294211 Surgical custom or specialty instrument or procedure sets, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local opportunities recently posted under this designation. The recent solicitations show substantial activity in automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and related cardiac monitoring equipment — batteries, pads, accessories, and service plans — rather than custom surgical instrument sets or procedure kits. State and local governments are procuring AED units and components for emergency medical services, schools, and fire departments; cardiac monitors and service agreements for emergency response operations; and blood pressure cuff accessories compatible with specific defibrillator models. The issuing bodies span school districts (Cobb County School District, Georgia), county governments (Harris County and Marion County, Florida; Collier County, Florida), city procurement offices (City of Tampa, City of Dallas, City of Orlando), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington State counties and other participating entities; City of Eugene through a Sourcewell Stryker agreement).

Recent opportunities are concentrated in Florida and Texas, with activity also in Georgia, Washington, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include Cobb County School District's Q27009 request for quotes on AEDs and accessories due July 6, 2026, with estimated expenditures of approximately $50,000; Harris County's RFP 260079 for Automatic External Defibrillators and Related Items due May 18, 2026; the City of Tampa's Bid 26P00028 for Cardiac Science Powerheart G5 AEDs and accessories (estimated $60,000, SLBE-sheltered, due December 19, 2025); Marion County, Florida's re-solicitation 21044 for blood pressure cuffs and hoses compatible with the LIFEPAK 15S defibrillator, due May 6, 2026; and the City of Orlando's sole-source procurement S26-0394 for a Zoll X-Series Defibrillator/Monitor Worry-Free Service Plan ($318,123.66 contract value). Sourcewell's Law Enforcement Equipment RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026) is a multi-jurisdictional cooperative opportunity serving Washington State counties and thousands of public entities nationwide. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent procurement activity signals that this code may be incorrectly tagged in current state and local systems or reflects legacy categorization rather than current buying practice.
