UNSPSC 49221534: Athletic heart rate monitor

Portable device used to monitor heart rate during exercise. May be worn on the wrist and may come with a chest strap.

UNSPSC 49221534 Athletic heart rate monitor is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it overwhelmingly concern Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), cardiac monitors, and related emergency medical equipment rather than heart-rate monitoring devices. State and local governments are procuring AED units, AED batteries and accessories, cardiac monitoring equipment for emergency medical services, blood-pressure cuffs and monitoring components compatible with specific defibrillator platforms, and miscellaneous medical supplies bundled with defibrillator pads. School districts, county governments, state agencies, and municipal departments are the primary buyers, with the work spanning equipment purchases for fire departments, EMS units, hospitals, healthcare facilities, and public institutional settings such as state-supported living centers. The typical transaction is a competitive quote or RFP for AED units with replacement batteries and accessories, often bundled with warranties and technical support.

Activity is geographically distributed across multiple states, with recent solicitations from Michigan (Utica Community Schools AED bid, October 2026), Colorado (sole-source LIFEPAK procurement, September 2026), Georgia (state AED quotation, September 2026), Texas (Harris County RFP for AEDs, May 2026; Bryan County EMS cardiac monitors, September 2026; Dallas City defibrillator purchase, May 2026; Texas Health and Human Services medical supplies including defibrillator pads, August 2026), Florida (Marion County blood-pressure cuff re-solicitation for LIFEPAK 15S compatibility, April 2026), and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as NASPO ValuePoint medical supplies (November 2026 response date) and Sourcewell law enforcement equipment (June 2026). Cobb County School District in Georgia has posted multiple AED procurement notices seeking approximately $50,000 in expenditures per solicitation. The code shows steady purchasing activity, though the frequent mismatch between the nominal commodity definition (athletic heart-rate monitoring) and the actual work being solicited (emergency medical defibrillation and cardiac monitoring) suggests a data-quality issue in how some jurisdictions tag medical equipment procurements.
