UNSPSC 42221614: Intravenous tubing with catheter administration kits

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a prepackaged collection (either custom or standard) of the equipment and supplies used to perform intravenous intubation or catherization procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42221614 Intravenous tubing with catheter administration kits is a Commodity code whose recent state and local activity spans occupational health screening, facility-based patient care supply chains, and cooperative law-enforcement procurement vehicles—a disparity that signals misalignment between the code's nominal scope and actual buying patterns. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) RFP20260825 posted August 25, 2026 for occupational medical surveillance services at Washington State Ferries, due October 9, 2026, requests physician-led baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit medical examinations for four personnel categories across 14 Washington ferry terminals; that solicitation does not reference IV administration supplies. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) IFB HHS0017603 posted July 15, 2026 for medical supplies and equipment at the Abilene State Supported Living Center, due July 30, 2026, includes gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, catheters, feeding tubes, syringes, enteral feeding sets, SpO2 sensors, and IV pole clamps—genuinely aligned with catheter and IV-related commodity procurement. Sourcewell RFP 061626 posted May 12, 2026 for law enforcement equipment, due June 16, 2026, is unrelated to medical supplies and appears to reflect a code tagging error across its participating Washington, Oregon, and other West Coast jurisdictions.

Recent verifiable activity centers on Texas and Washington, with the HHSC procurement representing routine facility-level medical supply replenishment (blanket purchase agreement, September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with one optional extension year) and the WSDOT solicitation representing occupational health services with no IV-supply component. Issuing bodies include a state health agency (Texas HHSC), a state transportation agency (WSDOT), and a cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell). The code shows limited, fragmented recent state and local traction; the two meaningful opportunities are geographically separated (Texas and Washington) with different procurement rhythms (HHSC's routine facility supply model versus WSDOT's services-focused occupational health contract). Geographic spread is primarily Texas and Washington, with the Sourcewell cooperative spanning multiple West Coast and nationwide jurisdictions but tagged without clear relevance to the code's medical-supply scope.
