UNSPSC 42142738: Latex foley catheterization kit

In this classification, this commodity indicates a kit that consists of a Latex Foley catheter inserted into the urinary tract. Foley catheter stay in place to empty the bladder.

UNSPSC 42142738 Latex foley catheterization kit is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this designation. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code include laser equipment and technical support for operating rooms, surgical power instruments, ventilator maintenance and repair services, law enforcement equipment, intraosseous infusion systems, career technical education resources, ultrasound imaging systems, and spinal implants — none of which are latex foley catheterization kits or related urological catheterization products. This mismatch indicates either a tagging error in the procurement database or that the code is being applied to a broader family of medical devices beyond its commodity-level scope.

No recent state and local solicitations for actual foley catheterization kits appear in the available records. The issuing bodies posting under this code designation span hospital systems (San Mateo Medical Center, University of Texas Health Science Center), counties (Hillsborough County, Marion County, San Mateo County), school districts (Klein ISD), cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell), and higher-education institutions (Valencia College), but their procurement activity does not reflect demand for catheterization supplies. Given the absence of relevant recent opportunities and the clear disconnect between the code name and the work actually being solicited, pursuit under this code warrants verification with procurement offices that the UNSPSC assignment is correct before building a go-to-market strategy.
