UNSPSC 42221522: Arterial cannula integrated pressure monitoring ports

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a pressure monitoring port for a thin tube inserted into a vein or body cavity to administer medicine, drain off fluid, or insert a surgical instrument associated with an arterial procedure. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 852849.

UNSPSC 42221522 Arterial cannula integrated pressure monitoring ports is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses medical supplies, equipment, and occupational health services procured by public health systems, state transportation agencies, and state health departments. The two most recent solicitations show a mismatch between the code's nominal scope—specialized vascular access devices with integrated monitoring capability—and the actual work being bought: the Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission is requesting bids for general medical supplies including feeding tubes, catheters, IV stabilization devices, and related consumables. Neither opportunity explicitly addresses arterial cannulas or integrated pressure monitoring ports as described in the code name, suggesting the code may have been applied as a catch-all categorization rather than as a precise match to procurement scope.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Texas. The Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP HHS0017603 for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026) spans 14 ferry terminal and operations locations across Washington State and requires occupational-medicine-certified providers to conduct baseline, periodic, and exit examinations for four personnel categories over a two-year term with optional five-year extensions. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017603 (due July 30, 2026) covers nine line items of medical consumables and small equipment for the Abilene State Supported Living Center, structured as a blanket purchase agreement with firm fixed pricing and optional one-year renewal. The code shows little relevant recent activity directly aligned to arterial cannula and integrated pressure monitoring devices; vendors should verify code applicability with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged under this classification.
