UNSPSC 42143101: Intrauterine catheters or catheterization kits

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product or kit including a catheter (a flexible tube inserted through a narrow opening into the uterus). US FDA regulates Intrauterine catheters or catheterization kits under 21 CFR 884.27 and under FDA product code HGS. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42143101 Intrauterine catheters or catheterization kits is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it reflect a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity. The two most recent solicitations tracked under this code involve occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Department of Transportation / Washington State Ferries) and a blanket purchase agreement for diverse medical supplies and equipment including gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, syringes, enteral feeding sets, and SpO2 sensors (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for the Abilene State Supported Living Center). Neither solicitation specifically calls for intrauterine catheters or catheterization kits as their primary scope. State and local buyers using this code appear to include state transportation departments, state health and human services agencies, and public health facilities, but the recent opportunities do not support a clear pattern of purchasing intrauterine catheterization products or services specifically.

Activity under this code appears limited and geographically scattered. The two recent opportunities originate in Washington State (RFP due October 9, 2026) and Texas (IFB due July 30, 2026), with no additional representative solicitations visible in the source data. The Washington State Ferries opportunity centers on occupational medical surveillance with examinations across 14 ferry system locations, structured as a two-year agreement with optional one-year extensions and cost-based scoring; the Texas HHSC opportunity is a blanket purchase agreement running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with optional one-year extension, priced on a firm fixed-unit basis. The code shows little recent activity clearly aligned with its nominal product category, suggesting either that state and local procurement offices are misclassifying medical supplies generally under this code or that intrauterine catheterization represents a minor or infrequent purchase line for these jurisdictions.
