UNSPSC 42294724: Intraaortic balloon pump introducers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a intraaortic balloon pump introducer during a surgical procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901920.

UNSPSC 42294724 Intraaortic balloon pump introducers is a Commodity code, but state and local governments are not soliciting the product named in the code. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly involve procurement of automated external defibrillators (AEDs), AED accessories and batteries, cardiac monitors, and miscellaneous medical supplies for emergency response and healthcare facilities. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—intraaortic balloon pump introducers, a specialized cardiac catheterization device—and the actual solicitations suggests either a classification error in state and local procurement systems or a data tagging misalignment. The work being bought under this code label centers on emergency preparedness equipment and facility medical supplies: AED units and replacement batteries, cardiac monitoring equipment for emergency medical services departments, blood pressure cuff assemblies compatible with specific defibrillator platforms, and miscellaneous medical and sensory items for state-supported healthcare facilities. Issuing bodies include school districts (Utica Community Schools in Michigan, Cobb County School District in Georgia), county governments (Sarasota County in Florida, Bryan County in Georgia, Marion County in Florida, Harris County in Texas), state agencies and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Colorado, State of Georgia), cities (Dallas), and regional cooperatives (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple participating counties).

Recent activity spans multiple states with concentration in Texas, Georgia, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, and Idaho. Representative solicitations include Utica Community Schools' IFQ for AEDs due October 28, 2026; NASPO ValuePoint RFP 1443 for medical supplies sponsored by Idaho state agencies with a November 9, 2026 deadline; Bryan County Board of Commissioners' sealed-bid procurement for ten EMS cardiac monitors due September 10, 2026; Sarasota County's RFQ for sixty-two Cardiac Science G5 AED batteries due August 21, 2026; Harris County's RFP for AEDs and related items due May 18, 2026; Cobb County School District's two sequential AED and accessories quotes (approximately $50,000 each, due July 6 and July 27, 2026); the State of Georgia's RFQ for AEDs due September 2, 2026; and Marion County's re-solicitation for LIFEPAK-compatible blood pressure cuff assemblies due May 6, 2026. Sourcewell issued a broad cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment due June 16, 2026, potentially encompassing medical and emergency-response components. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for miscellaneous medical supplies (including defibrillator pads among 39 line items) due August 19, 2026, with historical value around $50,000 annually. Geographic spread and issuing-body diversity signal sustained but fragmented demand across school districts, emergency services departments, and state health and procurement agencies.
