UNSPSC 42221507 Intravenous or arterial start kit without catheters is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure medical supply kits and associated clinical equipment for state health facilities, animal shelters, and other public agencies. Recent solicitations show that buyers are acquiring IV stabilization devices, feeding tubes, syringes, enteral feeding sets, and related items—often as part of larger medical-supply blanket purchase agreements where specific manufacturer brands and product codes are identified on pricing sheets. The issuing bodies include state health departments and regional county agencies; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter appear as recent active buyers.

Activity centers in Texas, with the Texas HHSC soliciting medical supplies for the Abilene State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017603 (due July 30, 2026) and Williamson County posting IFB 26IFB24 for veterinary pharmaceuticals and clinic supplies (due April 23, 2026). Both opportunities structure procurement as firm-fixed-price blanket agreements with optional extensions, require online ordering portals and electronic invoicing, and impose firm pricing for initial contract periods with CPI-indexed or documented adjustments thereafter. The HHSC solicitation names specific vendors including Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, and Becton Dickinson; the Williamson County IFB requires bidders to submit three references and an Executive Summary, maintain $1 million per-occurrence general liability insurance, and comply with Texas anti-boycott certifications. Neither opportunity names a set-aside designation, though Williamson County applies a local-preference policy favoring bidders within three percent of the lowest qualified bid if their principal place of business is in Williamson County.
