AED Program

The Metropolitan Police Department in the District of Columbia is forecasting a program to procure automated external defibrillators from Zoll, along with associated maintenance services, to enhance emergency response capabilities. This initiative is aimed at equipping personnel and facilities with life-saving medical devices that meet current standards for public safety and medical intervention. The program will include the acquisition of Zoll-branded AED units, which are known for their reliability and advanced features, as well as ongoing support such as regular maintenance, software updates, electrode and battery replacements, and training resources to ensure device readiness and staff competency. The forecast, posted on July 23, 2026, indicates the department’s intent to move forward with a formal procurement process in the near future, though specific details regarding contract value, timeline, or quantity of units have not been disclosed. The place of performance and point of contact information are currently unspecified, suggesting that these elements will be defined as the procurement advances. Organizations interested in participating should prepare for a competitive solicitation that may involve compliance with federal, state, and local procurement guidelines, as well as demonstrated experience in supplying and servicing medical emergency equipment. Stakeholders are encouraged to monitor official channels for the upcoming formal solicitation.
