UNSPSC 42161504 Peritoneal dialysis catheter adapters or clamps or connectors is a Commodity code covering specialized sterile connective components for peritoneal dialysis systems used in end-stage renal disease treatment. State and local governments procure these supplies primarily through public health departments, hospital systems, dialysis clinics, and healthcare purchasing cooperatives to support patient treatment programs. The components include quick-connect adapters, catheter clamps, sterile junction connectors, and related hardware that ensure safe, contamination-free connections between peritoneal dialysis catheters and treatment equipment. Solicitations under this code typically demand FDA clearance or equivalent international regulatory approval, sterility certification, biocompatibility testing, and compliance with medical device standards. Buyers often require technical specifications matching existing dialysis protocols at their facilities and may restrict awards to vendors holding current quality-system certifications such as ISO 13485.

The source provided contains no recent state and local contract opportunities under this code. Without access to posted RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs naming specific issuing bodies, response dates, or geographic activity, no meaningful characterization of current buyer concentration, regional activity, or near-term procurement timing can be drawn. Firms evaluating pursuit under this Commodity code should monitor state health department purchasing portals, hospital system cooperative agreements (such as Vizient or Premier Healthcare), and public health authority procurement calendars directly rather than relying on broad market signals, as medical-device solicitations under narrow codes typically post with short cycle times and narrow vendor pools.
