UNSPSC 42142702 Latex Intermittent Urethral urinary catheters is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader medical supply and occupational health programs. The recent solicitations show state and local bodies buying catheters and related urinary products as line items within larger medical equipment and supply contracts—not standalone catheter procurement. The issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies and transportation departments. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) sources medical supplies including catheters for state-supported living centers; the Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, procures occupational medical surveillance services that may include urinalysis and related diagnostic support.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas and Washington, with Texas HHSC managing medical supply contracts for state facilities and Washington State Ferries managing occupational health programs across ferry terminals and vessels. The Texas HHSC issued IFB HHS0017603 for medical supplies, equipment, and small tools for the Abilene State Supported Living Center, with bids due July 30, 2026, covering nine line items including catheters and feeding tubes from manufacturers such as Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, Becton Dickinson, AV Anos, and Nonin under a blanket purchase agreement running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with an option to extend one additional year. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026, covering medical examinations and evaluations across 14 Washington ferry locations with a two-year initial term and options to extend up to five additional one-year terms. The code shows limited standalone recent activity; catheters appear as bundled line items within larger health services contracts rather than as dedicated procurement vehicles.
