UNSPSC 42221506 Umbilical catheters is a Commodity code that covers specialized medical catheters and related delivery devices procured by state health and human services agencies and municipal emergency and medical services departments for patient care and emergency response. State and local buyers under this code are acquiring catheters alongside broader medical supply bundles — including feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, airway equipment, and oxygen delivery systems — typically through competitive sealed bid (IFB) solicitations structured as blanket purchase agreements with firm fixed pricing and optional renewal periods. Issuing bodies include state health agencies managing residential care facilities and city fire and rescue departments supplying emergency medical personnel.
