UNSPSC 42142737: Urological balloon catheter

Balloon catheters are used for the treatment of urological disease in the urinary tract.

UNSPSC 42142737 Urological balloon catheter is a Commodity code that covers specialized catheter devices used in urological procedures and patient care, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevant buying. The single identified opportunity directly aligned with the code's scope is the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017603 for medical supplies and equipment at the Abilene State Supported Living Center, posted July 15, 2026, with bids due July 30, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. Central Time. That solicitation includes catheters among nine line items of specialized medical equipment and supplies (gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, feeding tubes, syringes, enteral feeding sets, SpO2 sensors, and IV pole clamps) structured as a blanket purchase agreement with an estimated one unit per item and a contract term of September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with HHSC retaining a one-year extension option. The solicitation specifies manufacturer brands and product codes from Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, Becton Dickinson, AV Anos, and Nonin, with firm and fixed pricing inclusive of all labor, materials, supplies, and related expenses. Pricing adjustments are permitted at HHSC's sole discretion based on Consumer Price Index changes or Federal Minimum Wage increases.

The remaining five opportunities in the source are unrelated to urological balloon catheters: three are procurement of irrigation systems and equipment, one is law enforcement equipment via Sourcewell cooperative purchasing, and one is disaster debris removal services. State and local procurement activity directly targeting urological balloon catheters remains sparse in the recent record, making this code a low-activity area for business development. Texas HHSC and the Department of State Health Services are the primary identified buyers under this code in the immediate term. Interested vendors should monitor Texas state health and human services procurement channels for additional medical supply solicitations and note that both HHSC and DSHS are entitled to use any resulting contract from the Abilene facility procurement.
