UNSPSC 42143203 Artificial insemination catheters is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses a broader range of medical catheters and related supplies for institutional and emergency-response use—including gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, enteral feeding sets, endotracheal tubes, and airway devices—rather than products narrowly limited to reproductive veterinary or agricultural applications. State and local purchasing offices source these items primarily through health and human services agencies managing state-supported living facilities and through municipal fire and rescue departments provisioning emergency medical response divisions. Solicitations are structured as competitive sealed-bid ITBs and IFBs with firm-fixed pricing, often allowing quantity adjustments based on program needs and typically spanning one-year award periods with renewal options. Evaluation centers on specification compliance, delivery capability, and price.

Recent activity spans Texas and Florida. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017603 on July 15, 2026 (response due July 30, 2026) for medical supplies and equipment for the Abilene State Supported Living Center, covering nine line items of specialized medical equipment and supplies including catheters, feeding tubes, and IV devices from vendors such as Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, and Becton Dickinson under a blanket purchase agreement running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027. The City of Tampa's Purchasing Department solicited sealed bids (ITB 26P00145, posted March 25, 2026) for 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, including endotracheal tubes, airway devices, and cardiac monitoring electrodes, with an estimated contract amount of $700,000 and the award designated as a sheltered-market opportunity for certified Small Local Business Enterprises.
