Teleflex Emergency Medical Equipment/Supplies

Clayton County Fire Department is pursuing a sole source procurement for the Teleflex Emergency Medical Equipment/Supplies, specifically the Arrow EZ-IO Intraosseous Vascular Access System. The procurement is a direct acquisition from Teleflex LLC, the sole authorized vendor for this proprietary medical device. The EZ-IO system is a battery-operated intraosseous vascular access system that can be used for up to 48 hours in emergency medical situations. The contract opportunity was posted on April 2, 2025, with proposals due by April 9, 2025. Key objectives include obtaining a specialized medical device for emergency medical services that allows rapid vascular access in critical situations. The procurement notice emphasizes that only direct purchases from Teleflex will be considered, with explicit warnings against third-party or online marketplace acquisitions due to potential counterfeit or improperly stored equipment. Potential vendors should note that warranty coverage and customer support are exclusively provided for devices purchased directly from Teleflex.

The procurement appears to be unrestricted in terms of set-aside designations or specific enterprise requirements. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated in the documentation, the sole source nature of the procurement suggests a targeted, specific acquisition for the Clayton County Fire Department. Teleflex is the exclusive vendor for this medical equipment, eliminating competitive bidding. The company provides direct support through their customer service team, reachable at 1-866-246-6990 or CS@teleflex.com, for any additional information or inquiries related to the EZ-IO system. The procurement is specifically for the 25MM Needle version of the EZ-IO system, indicating a precise medical equipment requirement. No incumbent vendors are mentioned beyond Teleflex, and the procurement appears to be a direct replacement or addition to existing emergency medical equipment infrastructure. The sole source designation underscores the unique and specialized nature of the medical device being procured.
