UNSPSC 42221504 Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) is a Commodity code that captures state and local government purchases of specialized infusion-delivery devices and related medical supplies. The recent solicitations under this code reveal that state and local bodies are procuring PICCs both as discrete medical supplies and as components within broader durable medical equipment (DME) and infusion-management contracts. The issuing bodies span state health agencies, state-supported facilities, academic medical centers, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving thousands of member entities across multiple states. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) appears twice in recent activity—once bidding specialized medical supplies including catheters and gastrostomy tubes for the Abilene State Supported Living Center and again seeking DME and services for its Comprehensive Rehabilitation Services program across multiple geographic regions. Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicles (MMCAP and Sourcewell) and South Dakota's NASPO ValuePoint are also active under this code, aggregating demand across state and local members to achieve volume-based pricing and standardized contracting terms for medical supplies catalogs that include infusion and catheter products.

Recent opportunities span Texas (HHSC procurements for Abilene and statewide DME services), California (ambulatory smart pumps with integrated drug libraries through the Department of Health Care Services), Minnesota and participating states nationwide (MMCAP RFP for full-line medical supply distributors and Sourcewell cooperative solicitations), and the multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicles administered by South Dakota (NASPO ValuePoint RFP 1433). The largest recent opportunity by member reach is the MMCAP RFP 37259 for medical supplies, due July 20, 2026, which aggregates approximately $300 million in annual collective purchasing power across approximately 8,000 government members and requires vendors to demonstrate capacity to serve at least twenty states with secure ordering systems, at least four years of domestic operations, and average monthly sales of at least $2 million. The Texas HHSC DME and Services procurement (HHS0017173), due June 2, 2026, structured as a five-year master contract with an optional one-year extension and a 21.1 percent HUB set-aside requirement, encompasses eleven DME categories across eleven geographic service regions statewide with historical annual compensation of approximately $1 million and a cumulative contract ceiling of $5 million. The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio is managing and operating an outpatient infusion center (RFP 74526P16, due August 7, 2026) that supports infusion and injectable therapies across multiple clinical departments and specialties.
