Marion County, Florida, through its Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services, is conducting a re-solicitation for blood pressure cuffs, hoses, and related accessories compatible with the LIFEPAK 15S defibrillator used by Marion County Fire Rescue (MCFR). This procurement is classified as a re-solicitation notice issued in compliance with Florida Statute 287.057(3)(c) and the Marion County Procurement Manual, which requires existing Sole Source designations to be reviewed and re-solicited at least once every five years. The primary objective is to ensure continuity of patient monitoring and treatment capabilities during emergency medical response operations. Qualified vendors are invited to submit supporting documentation demonstrating their ability to provide comparable goods or services meeting County requirements. The solicitation posting period runs from April 29, 2026, through May 6, 2026, with a minimum posting duration of five business days. Interested vendors should contact Carrisa Crawford at carrisa.crawford@marionfl.org for additional information or to submit proposals during the specified window.

Technicuff Corp. is currently designated as the Sole Source provider for these medical equipment components and their existing designation may be reaffirmed if no comparable alternatives are identified during the solicitation period. The County will evaluate any qualified alternatives submitted during the posting window against established requirements. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, small businesses, or other restricted categories are identified in the re-solicitation notice. The procurement documentation does not specify pricing terms, contract term length, renewal options, or funding amounts, leaving these details to be determined following the evaluation of submitted proposals and alternatives.
