Technicuff Blood Pressure Cuffs

Hillsborough County, Florida has posted a sole source procurement notice for Technicuff blood pressure cuffs and related equipment, with a close date of April 13, 2026. The procurement is for ongoing and as-needed purchases of Technicuff 3-in-1 blood pressure cuffs and six-foot hoses compatible with the Stryker LP35 monitor/defibrillator, available in adult (17-45cm), pediatric (9-25cm), infant (5-15cm), and neonate (3-14cm) sizes. The nine-month contract term extends through December 31, 2026, with anticipated quantities of 850 adult cuffs, 200 pediatric cuffs, 150 infant cuffs, 100 extension adapters, and 250 hoses. The procurement is justified under Section 3-205(2)(a) of Hillsborough County's Procurement Policy based on Technicuff Corp.'s status as the sole manufacturer and reseller of Technicuff blood pressure cuffs with validated compatibility to the Stryker LP35 system used by Hillsborough County Fire Rescue. Alternative products lack formal compatibility, produce inconsistent measurements, or require frequent recalibration and replacement. Technicuff provides direct technical support and warranty coverage critical to operational requirements. Interested parties seeking to challenge this sole source designation must submit clear and convincing information demonstrating bona fide competition exists by the April 13, 2026 close date through the EUNA Procurement submission system.

This procurement carries no disclosed set-aside designations or restrictions limiting organizational eligibility; however, the sole source nature of the award precludes competitive bidding absent successful challenges to the procurement justification. Technicuff Corp. is the identified incumbent vendor and sole source provider for this equipment category. The deliverables must integrate with existing Stryker LP35 monitor/defibrillator infrastructure currently deployed within Hillsborough County Fire Rescue operations, requiring validated compatibility and clinical reliability. The estimated procurement value is $44,385.00 for the nine-month period, with cost allocation of $19,000.00 for hoses, $17,255.00 for adult cuffs, $4,060.00 for pediatric cuffs, $3,045.00 for infant cuffs, and $1,025.00 for extension adapters. Hillsborough County reserves the right to extend the contract period beyond December 31, 2026, and adjust the scope of services and award amount in response to changing conditions and updated requirements. Award is expected following the April 13, 2026 close date absent any valid challenges to the sole source justification.
