UNSPSC 42203429 Pericardiocentesis catheters is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses specialty medical catheters and related medical supplies procured by health agencies and state-supported facilities. The Washington State Department of Transportation's solicitation for occupational medical surveillance services and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's blanket purchase agreement for medical supplies at the Abilene State Supported Living Center illustrate the breadth of procurement under this code—ranging from occupational health examination support through facility-based medical supply procurement. State and local health and human services departments, state transportation agencies with health compliance obligations, and state-supported living centers represent the primary issuing bodies. These entities purchase catheters, feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, and related medical consumables to support employee occupational health programs, resident care in state-supported facilities, and regulatory compliance with state and federal occupational medicine standards.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) with responses due October 9, 2026 covers occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations, evaluated at 40 percent price and 60 percent non-cost capability factors, with contract award anticipated by November 30, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB (HHS0017603) for medical supplies at Abilene State Supported Living Center closed July 30, 2026 and covers nine line items of specialized medical equipment and supplies from vendors including Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, and Becton Dickinson, structured as a blanket purchase agreement from September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with optional one-year extension. The code shows limited recent activity; opportunities do not consistently align with pericardiocentesis catheters as a distinct product line.
