Purchase New Automated External Defibrillator (AED)

The St. Johns River Water Management District is seeking to procure thirty (30) Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) through Quote Request 41480, with a specific preference for the Zoll AED 3 model or equivalent units that meet stringent operational, safety, and usability standards. The solicitation requires vendors to submit quotes via email to Breanna Pierce or through www.demandstar.com by September 18, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Detailed specifications include requirements for Wi-Fi connectivity, adult/child hybrid electrode pads, and a CPR metronome. Vendors must provide comprehensive pricing information, extended warranty options, and lifecycle details for battery and electrode pad replacement. The evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest total cost and product availability, with the District expecting delivery to their Palatka, Florida address during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00am - 5:00pm) after October 1, 2025. Award will be contingent upon meeting all specified technical requirements and providing competitive pricing.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The District is seeking to trade in their existing 30 Defibtech Reviver View units, which suggests potential value-add opportunities for responsive vendors. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the procurement involves thirty AED units, indicating a potentially significant contract value. No incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned beyond the current Defibtech units being replaced. The successful vendor will need to ensure seamless integration with the District's existing emergency response infrastructure and demonstrate compliance with all technical specifications outlined in Exhibit 1 of the solicitation. Vendors should be prepared to provide detailed documentation of their AED units' performance, safety certifications, and compatibility with the District's operational requirements.
