UNSPSC 42203403: Diagnostic or interventional vascular catheter introducers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used to introduce a flexible tube inserted through a vein or artery in a diagnostic or interventional procedure. US FDA regulates Diagnostic or interventional vascular catheter introducers under 21 CFR 870.1340 and under FDA product code DYB. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42203403 Diagnostic or interventional vascular catheter introducers is a Commodity code that state and local governments are sourcing under for a narrow set of occupational health and medical supply procurement activities, though the recent opportunities show minimal direct alignment with the code's nominal scope of vascular catheter introducers. The Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries solicited occupational medical surveillance services—baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members—via RFP 20260825 with proposals due October 9, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) issued IFB HHS0017603 for medical supplies and equipment for the Abilene State Supported Living Center, due July 30, 2026, covering gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, catheters, feeding tubes, syringes, enteral feeding sets, SpO2 sensors, and IV pole clamps from manufacturers including Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, Becton Dickinson, AV Anos, and Nonin. The HHSC opportunity is structured as a blanket purchase agreement with a September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 term and an option to extend one additional year.

Recent activity under this code spans Washington State and Texas. The Washington State Ferries opportunity requires medical services across 14 locations statewide—Anacortes, Bainbridge Island, Bremerton, Clinton, Coupeville, Edmonds, Kingston, Mukilteo, Port Orchard, Port Townsend, San Juan Islands, Seattle, Tacoma, and Vashon Island—with examinations delivered within 60 days and 24/7 technical support, while the HHSC procurement targets a single supported living center in Abilene. Both solicitations represent state health and human services agencies rather than local jurisdictions, counties, or school districts. The code shows limited recent activity aligned with its vascular catheter introducer taxonomy; the opportunities posted reflect broader medical surveillance and medical supply procurement that may be miscoded to this commodity classification.
