UNSPSC 42142745: Silver foley catheter

UNSPSC 42142745 Silver foley catheter is a Commodity code that encompasses indwelling urinary catheters and associated supplies used across state and local health and human services delivery. Recent solicitation activity shows state agencies and supported living centers procuring foleys as components of broader medical supply contracts serving patients with long-term care, disability support, and occupational health needs. The sourcing pattern reflects direct buys through blanket purchase agreements and integrated medical supply bundles rather than standalone catheter procurement, with state health departments and facility operators as the primary issuing bodies.

The code shows limited recent activity concentrated in Texas and Washington. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017603 in July 2026 for medical supplies, equipment, and small tools for the Abilene State Supported Living Center, with bids due July 30, 2026, and the solicitation explicitly named catheters among nine line items of specialized equipment alongside feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, and sensors from manufacturers including C.R. Bard and Becton Dickinson under a September 2026 through August 2027 blanket purchase agreement. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted RFP 20260825 on August 25, 2026, for occupational medical surveillance services with a response due October 9, 2026, but this solicitation focuses on physician-delivered examinations and medical record management for ferry system workers rather than medical supply acquisition, and does not represent typical catheter procurement under this code. Activity appears sparse; opportunities in this Commodity tier typically emerge as line items within larger medical supply tenders rather than as standalone procurements.
