UNSPSC 42294724 Intraaortic balloon pump introducers is a Commodity code that nominally describes a narrow cardiac interventional device, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code involve automated external defibrillators (AEDs), cardiac monitors, and related emergency medical equipment and service plans — a significant scope mismatch. State and local governments are buying AED units, AED accessories including pads and batteries, defibrillator-monitor service contracts, cardiac monitor equipment, and emergency medical response supplies through RFPs, RFQs, and informal solicitations (IFS). Issuing bodies span county governments, municipalities, school districts, and emergency management agencies. The mix includes Cobb County School District in Georgia, Marion County and Collier County in Florida, the City of Dallas, Harris County, and the City of Orlando, reflecting activity across both large metropolitan jurisdictions and mid-sized counties. Procurement drivers range from fleet maintenance and equipment replacement to new capital purchases for public safety infrastructure.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in Florida and Texas. The City of Tampa issued a competitive IFB for Cardiac Science Powerheart G5 AED units and accessories (March 2026, estimated $60,000, SLBE set-aside with 5 percent bid discount); Harris County posted an RFP for AEDs and related items (April 2026, due May 18); the City of Dallas conducted an informal solicitation for defibrillators to Airport Logistics (May 2026, due May 15); Cobb County School District requested quotes for AED equipment, batteries, and accessories at approximately $50,000 (June 2026, due July 6); and Marion County, Florida re-solicited blood pressure cuffs and hoses compatible with LIFEPAK 15S defibrillators for fire rescue operations (April 2026, due May 6). The City of Orlando and Collier County both issued sole-source procurements for manufacturer-specific defibrillator service plans with Zoll Medical Corporation. A Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell #061626, due June 16, 2026) spans multiple Washington state counties and jurisdictions nationally but does not specify medical device detail in available documentation. Activity outside Florida and Texas is limited in the recent record.
