UNSPSC 42142732 Male external urinary catheter accessories is a Commodity code covering specialized catheter products and related urinary management supplies that state and local health and human services agencies procure for facility-based care populations. Recent solicitations show demand for indwelling catheters, drainage systems, and accessory items — including IV stabilization devices, feeding tubes, and related medical supplies — purchased by state health departments, supported living centers, and transportation agencies managing occupational health programs. The issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions and departments of transportation procuring medical supplies for residential care facilities and employee wellness programs, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Washington State Department of Transportation appearing in the recent opportunity set.

Activity appears concentrated in Texas and Washington. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017603 on July 15, 2026 for medical supplies including catheters and related equipment for the Abilene State Supported Living Center, with bids due July 30, 2026 and a contract term running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with an option for one additional year. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP20260825 on August 25, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services with a due date of October 9, 2026, though that opportunity focuses on physician-delivered examinations rather than catheter products directly. The Texas IFB represents the more directly aligned recent activity under the code's nominal scope, specifying line items from manufacturers including Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, Becton Dickinson, and AV Anos, structured as a blanket purchase agreement with firm fixed pricing and an option to extend.
