AEDs

Westchester County, located in New York, has issued a state and local contract opportunity for the procurement of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and their corresponding enclosures. The contract seeks a vendor to supply and deliver these critical medical devices according to specific county requirements. The procurement is scheduled with a posting date of August 20, 2025, and a submission deadline of August 21, 2025, indicating a compressed timeframe for potential bidders. The primary objective appears to be equipping county facilities, public spaces, or emergency response units with life-saving AED equipment. Vendors must carefully review the technical specifications for the AEDs and enclosures, ensuring compliance with all county-mandated standards and requirements for medical safety equipment.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, typical state and local contracts often include provisions for minority-owned, women-owned, or disadvantaged business enterprises (M/WBE/DBE) participation. Potential bidders should anticipate potential preference points or participation requirements for such designated businesses. The contract likely requires vendors to demonstrate technical capabilities, provide comprehensive product documentation, and potentially offer maintenance or training support for the AED systems. Without explicit budget information in the current documentation, interested vendors should prepare comprehensive proposals that address both equipment specifications and potential long-term support requirements. Prospective contractors should be prepared to demonstrate extensive experience in medical equipment procurement, distribution, and potentially installation of AED systems in municipal or county environments.
