UNSPSC 42221516 Catheter tip occluders is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure specialized medical supplies and equipment, particularly catheters and related vascular access devices for health care and emergency response settings. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing catheters alongside gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, enteral feeding sets, and airway management equipment — the code captures a narrow product line within broader medical-supply procurement. Issuing bodies span state health and human services agencies managing state-supported facilities and municipal fire and rescue divisions; both structures treat catheter procurement as part of larger consolidated medical-supply buys rather than standalone equipment procurements. Vendor requirements emphasize brand-specific products from established manufacturers such as Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, and Becton Dickinson, with firm fixed pricing and adherence to product specifications as the primary evaluation criteria.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) posted IFB HHS0017603 on July 15, 2026, for medical supplies including catheters for the Abilene State Supported Living Center, with bids due July 30, 2026, structured as a blanket purchase agreement running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027. The City of Tampa Purchasing Department issued ITB 26-P-00145 on March 25, 2026, for medical and first aid supplies including endotracheal tubes and airway devices for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, with an estimated contract value of $700,000.00 and a Small Local Business Enterprise set-aside with a 5% bid discount not to exceed $10,000; that solicitation closed March 13, 2026. Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with no other states represented in the posted opportunities; both procurements emphasize multi-item consolidated buys under fixed-price frameworks with annual terms and optional renewals.
