UNSPSC 42142726: Ileal conduit catheters

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product consisting of a flexible tube inserted through a narrow opening into the small intestine when the urinary bladder has been removed). Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42142726 Ileal conduit catheters is a Commodity code, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show minimal alignment with the nominal product scope. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services—baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit examinations for ferry system personnel across 14 Washington locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026—and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017603 for a broad range of medical supplies and equipment including catheters, feeding tubes, and IV stabilization devices for the Abilene State Supported Living Center, with bids due July 30, 2026. Neither solicitation targets ileal conduit catheters specifically; the Texas bid sheet references multiple manufacturer brands across several product categories but does not isolate ostomy-related catheter products as a line item. The code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors focused on ileal conduit catheter supply or specialty ostomy care products.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in state health and human services departments, with no clear repeat buyers or geographic concentration evident from the two posted opportunities. Washington and Texas are the only states represented in the recent record. The WSDOT and HHSC solicitations reflect general medical equipment and supplies purchasing rather than procurement of specialized single-use medical devices like ileal conduit catheters. Vendors in this category should monitor state and local health facility bids (particularly those from supported living centers, long-term care facilities, and rehabilitation centers) for future opportunities, though the current signal suggests this Commodity code may see limited state and local procurement activity, or opportunities may be tagged under broader medical supply families rather than at the narrower catheter-specific commodity level.
