The order will be placed against Zoll Medical's Patient Monitoring and Capital Equipment (PMCE) Contract SPE2D1-19-D-0011, which expires on January 13, 2029.
The acquisition is for 791 Zoll battery packs (NSN: 6130016657224), specifically an Assembly, Battery Pack, 6.6 AH, 14.8V, Lithium-Ion, 12-Cell Conditioned. The batteries must be compatible with Zoll Ventilators (Model 731 EMV+) and Zoll Aspirators (Model 330M) and be original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specific to maintain the manufacturer warranty.
