UNSPSC 42220000: Intravenous and arterial administration products

In this classification, this family includes the products used in the portion of medical interactions that involve intravenous and arterial administration based procedures.

UNSPSC 42220000 Intravenous and arterial administration products is a Family code covering IV delivery systems, catheters, stabilization devices, and related consumables used in healthcare settings; state and local procurement activity under this code is sparse, with only one recent solicitation showing direct relevance to the code's nominal scope. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017603 on July 15, 2026, requesting medical supplies and equipment for the Abilene State Supported Living Center, with bids due July 30, 2026, including IV stabilization devices, catheters, syringes, and feeding tubes from manufacturers such as Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, and Becton Dickinson as part of a blanket purchase agreement running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with firm-fixed pricing. The remaining opportunities in the source are unrelated to intravenous or arterial administration products—they cover irrigation equipment, debris removal, law enforcement supplies, and pharmaceutical blister packs—indicating that this UNSPSC code sees limited recent procurement activity among state and local issuers.

The geographic and issuing-body profile is confined to Texas health and human services procurement. The HHSC and the Department of State Health Services are the only identified users under this code in the recent record. Questions on the IFB were due July 22, 2026, with responses posted as an addendum on July 24. Contractors may submit responses via email, through the HHS Online Bid Room, or by overnight mail to the PCS office at 1100 W. 49th Street, Austin, Texas. The contract is structured with no guaranteed minimum volume and allows price adjustments at HHSC's discretion based on Consumer Price Index or Federal Minimum Wage increases; standard HHS compliance requirements including E-Verify and human trafficking prohibitions apply. The scarcity of recent opportunities under this code suggests limited state and local focus on competitive bidding for IV and arterial administration supplies—most procurement in this category may be transacted through cooperative purchasing agreements, standing state healthcare contracts, or direct vendor relationships outside the public competitive notice process.
