UNSPSC 42203406: Removal devices of diagnostic or interventional vascular catheters

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used to remove a flexible tube inserted through a vein or artery in a diagnostic or interventional procedure. US FDA regulates Removal devices of diagnostic or interventional vascular catheters under 21 CFR 880.5970 and under FDA product code ODY. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42203406 Removal devices of diagnostic or interventional vascular catheters is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement shows little activity directly matching its nominal scope. The two opportunities tagged under this code reflect divergent work: one is occupational medical surveillance services (physician-led baseline and periodic examinations for ferry workers), and the other is a blanket purchase agreement for medical supplies and equipment including catheters, feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, and related consumables for a state-supported living center. Neither opportunity centers on removal devices for vascular catheters as the code name implies; the second includes catheters among a broader set of supplies, but removal-specific procurement is not the focus. The issuing bodies are the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, representing state agencies managing occupational health and facility-based medical supplies respectively.

Activity under this code appears sparse and geographically scattered across Washington and Texas, with no repeat buyers visible in the recent record. The Washington State Ferries RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) seeks occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations; evaluation is cost-based with pricing weighted at 40 percent and non-cost performance capability at 60 percent, with contract award anticipated by November 30, 2026. The Texas HHSC IFB (HHS0017603, due July 30, 2026) covers nine line items of medical supplies for the Abilene State Supported Living Center under a blanket purchase agreement running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with an optional one-year extension; pricing is firm and fixed with unit rates inclusive of all costs, and both HHSC and the Department of State Health Services may utilize the contract. The code's nominal scope—vascular-catheter removal devices—does not align clearly with either recent solicitation, signaling that this particular code may not be a primary classification for state and local purchases in this product family.
