UNSPSC 42142743 Latex-free intermittent catheter is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized urological and medical supply products used in state and local healthcare settings and occupational health programs. Recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing catheters and related medical supplies as components of broader medical equipment and supply contracts serving residential care facilities, occupational health programs, and clinical operations. The issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies and state transportation departments operating medical surveillance programs. Work under this code involves supplying branded catheter products, often as line items within blanket purchase agreements covering multiple medical consumables, with pricing negotiated on a firm-fixed or cost-plus basis and quantities varying according to program needs.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Washington, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring medical supplies including catheters for the Abilene State Supported Living Center via IFB HHS0017603 (bids due July 30, 2026, contract term September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with an optional one-year extension), and the Washington State Department of Transportation contracting medical surveillance services for Washington State Ferries via RFP20260825 (proposals due October 9, 2026, two-year term with options to extend for up to five additional one-year terms). The Texas solicitation structures catheters as specific line items with manufacturer brand specifications from vendors including C.R. Bard and Becton Dickinson, pricing firm and fixed, while the Washington opportunity is broader occupational health surveillance. Both contracts are structured as blanket purchase agreements with no guaranteed volume.
