UNSPSC 42142744: Latex-free or Silicone foley catheter

In this classification, this commodity indicates a Latex-free or silicone product consisting of a flexible tube inserted through a narrow opening into the uterus. The device drains your urine into a drainage bag. A small balloon filled with sterile water is placed inside your bladder to hold the catheter in place. This catheter is designed to stay in place for days or weeks.

UNSPSC 42142744 Latex-free or Silicone foley catheter is a Commodity code covering specialized urinary catheters procured by state and local health care and emergency response agencies. State and local governments buy these catheters as components of broader medical supply requisitions for state-supported living facilities, emergency departments, and rescue divisions. The purchasing pattern shows mixed-lot IFBs where catheters appear alongside gastrostomy tubes, feeding tubes, IV devices, and other clinical consumables rather than as standalone line items; procurement officers treat them as part of consolidated medical-supply contracts structured as blanket purchase agreements with unit-rate pricing and estimated annual quantities.

Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the City of Tampa represent recent issuing bodies under this code. The HHSC Abilene State Supported Living Center procurement (IFB HHS0017603, due July 30, 2026) included catheters among nine medical-equipment line items sourced from vendors such as C.R. Bard and Becton Dickinson, with a September 2026 through August 2027 contract term and options to extend one additional year. The City of Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division's medical and first aid supplies IFB (26P00145, due March 13, 2026) encompassed 169 line items across respiratory equipment, monitoring devices, and consumables, with an estimated contract value of $700,000 and award eligibility restricted to certified Small Local Business Enterprises under a 5% bid discount capped at $10,000. Both solicitations reflect firm-fixed pricing with delivery windows of five to ten working days and inventory management through standing purchase orders rather than large upfront buys.
