UNSPSC 42221601 Intravenous or arterial administration air bubble detectors is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement appears to be tagged inconsistently — the three most recent opportunities show little direct alignment with air bubble detection equipment. The City of Tampa's Fire Rescue Department is procuring IV solution sets, sodium chloride irrigation solutions, dextrose solutions, magnesium sulfate, IV connectors, and related medical consumables through ITB 25-P-00033, posted March 20, 2026, with a response deadline of December 18, 2024 and a contract value of $90,000 for a three-year term with potential renewal. Seminole County, Florida issued IFB 60459723LAS on June 30, 2026 for naloxone and drug deactivation systems with quarterly deliveries, due July 26, 2023. Klein Independent School District in Harris County, Texas posted RFP 26-101 on April 17, 2026 for career technical education and advanced academics instructional resources, due June 5, 2026. Of these three, only Tampa's Fire Rescue procurement directly addresses IV administration supplies, though it does not explicitly specify air bubble detection functionality.

The code shows limited recent activity specifically targeting air bubble detection equipment for IV or arterial administration. Issuing bodies span municipal fire departments (Tampa), county health systems (Seminole County), and school districts (Klein ISD), though the latter two solicitations fall outside the nominal scope of the code. Geographic concentration is evident in Florida and Texas based on the recent postings. The Tampa Fire Rescue procurement is the only opportunity with clear relevance to IV administration, emphasizing WMBE and SLBE participation with bid discounts up to 5% for City-certified small local business enterprises, and requiring E-Verify compliance and OSHA Safety Data Sheet adherence. The code may warrant watchlist status pending clarification of whether air bubble detection is a required component within broader IV and arterial supply procurements, or whether the code itself is underused in state and local procurement relative to its narrow product definition.
