UNSPSC 42203441 Intravascular ultrasound catheters is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized medical devices and supplies acquired by state and local health and public-safety agencies. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show procurement of a broad range of medical supplies and equipment beyond the narrow catheter category implied by the code name — including feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, syringes, enteral feeding sets, SpO2 sensors, IV pole clamps, respiratory equipment, cardiac monitoring electrodes, endotracheal tubes, airway devices, and bandaging materials. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (the Texas Health and Human Services Commission) and municipal fire and rescue departments (City of Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division). The code appears to function as a catch-all taxonomy category for mixed medical consumables and equipment procured by state-supported living facilities and municipal emergency response operations, rather than a narrowly specialized device category.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017603 on July 15, 2026 for medical supplies and equipment for the Abilene State Supported Living Center, with bids due July 30, 2026, structured as a blanket purchase agreement for September 2026 through August 2027 with one optional extension year. The City of Tampa Purchasing Department issued ITB 26-P-00145 in March 2026 for medical and first aid supplies for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division with an estimated contract amount of $700,000 and a five percent bid discount for certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs), with a cap of $10,000 on the discount. Both opportunities reflect firm-fixed pricing structures with performance delivery and specification compliance as primary evaluation factors.
