UNSPSC 42221605: Intravenous or arterial tubing check valves

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that consists of tubing check valves used in an intravenous or arterial medical procedure. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 848130.

UNSPSC 42221605 Intravenous or arterial tubing check valves is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect procurement of IV or arterial tubing check valves themselves. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicitation (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) seeks occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers, requiring licensed occupational-medicine physicians to conduct baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit examinations across 14 Washington ferry terminals and vessels. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicitation (IFB HHS0017603, due July 30, 2026) procures medical supplies and equipment including gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, catheters, and feeding tubes for the Abilene State Supported Living Center under a blanket purchase agreement running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027. A Sourcewell cooperative procurement (RFP 061626, due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment covering multiple counties in Washington state and participating entities nationwide is also tagged under this code but involves protective and tactical gear rather than medical tubing. The code shows a material mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being solicited; the recent activity does not support targeted pursuit under this commodity classification.

The opportunities span Washington state (WSDOT medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations), Texas (HHSC medical supplies for a state-supported living center), and a multistate cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell), but none of the three posted solicitations align with procurement of check valves for IV or arterial tubing. State and local governments do acquire medical supplies and equipment under related UNSPSC families, but this specific commodity code does not currently reflect relevant procurement activity. Professionals evaluating opportunities under this code should verify the actual commodity requirement against the solicitation scope before investing bid-preparation resources.
