Cardiac Monitor Replacement

The Unified Fire Authority (UFA) in Salt Lake County, Utah, is seeking an FDA-approved cardiac monitor solution through Request for Proposal RFP #2025-08 for out-of-hospital paramedic response and ground ambulance transport. The initial procurement involves approximately 47 cardiac monitors, with potential for additional purchases throughout the contract term. Required monitor capabilities include 4-lead and 12-lead ECG, manual defibrillation, synchronized cardioversion, transcutaneous pacing, automatic blood pressure acquisition, SPO2 measurement, heart rate and respiratory rate monitoring, waveform capnography, CPR and respiratory feedback, 12-lead data transmission, and electronic health record system integration. The proposal will be evaluated across four key criteria: Device Presentation (10%), Warranty & Data Service (30%), Device Technical Capabilities (30%), and Fee Proposal (30%). The submission deadline is 11:00 AM (MST) on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, for a contract initially spanning three years with options for three additional one-year renewals.

The RFP does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for specific enterprise types. Preferred monitor capabilities include automatic data upload, live data transmission, medical device integrations, customizable alerts, and dual sequential defibrillation capability. Pricing terms require comprehensive cost inclusion covering materials, supervision, labor, transportation, and delivery, with UFA exempt from sales, use, and federal excise taxes. The successful vendor must provide comprehensive insurance coverage and comply with legal and ethical standards, with invoices to be paid within 30 days of submission. While a specific budget range is not detailed, the procurement involves an initial purchase of 47 monitors with potential for expanded acquisitions, suggesting a significant investment in medical equipment for the fire-based EMS system serving 473,921 residents across 15 municipalities in Salt Lake and Utah Counties.
