UNSPSC 42142701 Suprapubic urinary catheters or kits is a Commodity code covering specialized urinary catheter devices and related kit assemblies that state and local health and human services agencies, fire departments, and other emergency response bodies procure for patient care, wound management, and emergency medical supply stockpiling. Recent opportunities show state health systems and municipal emergency services soliciting suprapubic catheters alongside broader medical supply portfolios—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB for the Abilene State Supported Living Center bundled catheters with gastrostomy tubes, IV devices, feeding sets, and oxygen sensors, while the City of Tampa's March 2026 ITB for the Fire Department Rescue Division included catheters within a 169-line medical and first aid supply package. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, municipal fire and rescue divisions, and possibly other local emergency services; repeat procurement occurs at state-supported facilities and city EMS operations.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and Florida based on recent postings, with the Texas HHSC Abilene facility IFB (HHS0017603) due July 30, 2026 under a blanket purchase agreement structure for September 2026–August 2027 delivery, and the City of Tampa's medical supply ITB (26P00145) closing March 13, 2026 with an estimated contract value of $700,000 and a sheltered market set-aside for certified Small Local Business Enterprises. Both solicitations specify firm fixed pricing with delivery timelines measured in working days and include standard compliance certifications; the Tampa opportunity carries a 5 percent SLBE bid discount capped at $10,000. Manufacturer brands named in the Texas solicitation include Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, and Becton Dickinson, suggesting that pricing and product-code specificity are typical evaluation factors in these competitive procurements.
