UNSPSC 42142722 Ureteral stone migration prevention gels (Commodity) describes specialized medical supplies purchased by state health agencies and municipal emergency services, though recent solicitations under this code tag show little activity directly aligned with the nominal product category. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017603, posted July 15, 2026 and due July 30, 2026, solicits medical supplies and equipment for the Abilene State Supported Living Center, including gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, catheters, feeding tubes, syringes, enteral feeding sets, and related items—a scope dominated by feeding and vascular access products rather than urological stone prevention gels. Similarly, the City of Tampa's invitation to bid 26-P-00145, posted March 25, 2026 and due March 13, 2026, covers 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, including respiratory equipment, cardiac monitoring electrodes, endotracheal tubes, airway devices, bandaging materials, and oxygen delivery systems. Both solicitations treat medical supplies as blanket purchase agreements with firm fixed pricing and estimated annual volumes; the Tampa procurement is sheltered exclusively for certified Small Local Business Enterprises and carries an estimated contract value of $700,000.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in Texas and Florida, with recent opportunities issued by a state health agency (HHSC) and a municipal fire department (City of Tampa). The Texas procurement structures purchases through a standard blanket agreement running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with one optional extension year, while the Tampa bid offers a one-year award with two optional renewal periods and potential unilateral City extension for up to three additional thirty-day periods. Neither solicitation explicitly references ureteral stone migration prevention gels; the code's recent activity reflects a broader medical supplies portfolio including feeding devices, vascular access, respiratory equipment, and emergency medical consumables rather than the specialized urological product the code nominally describes.
