UNSPSC 42221902: Intravenous drop counters or regulators

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as drop counters or regulators in an intravenous procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Intravenous drop counters or regulators under 21 CFR 880.2420 and under FDA product code FLN. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42221902 Intravenous drop counters or regulators is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—a May 2026 City of Orlando sole source solicitation (S26-0440)—involves procurement of a 24" magnetic flowmeter for the Wetlands Pump Station, a process instrumentation device unrelated to intravenous medical equipment. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (medical IV delivery regulation) and the actual work being solicited (industrial flow measurement) suggests the code is either rarely used for state and local purchases or is being misapplied in this instance. State and local procurement under this code does not appear to reflect meaningful activity aligned with the UNSPSC category definition.

The City of Orlando, operating through its Water Reclamation Enterprises Department, issued the sole source notice on May 13, 2026 with a response deadline of May 20, 2026, designating Gilson Engineering Sales of Florida (Heathrow, Florida) as the authorized exclusive representative for Siemens Process Instrumentation products. No contract value, budget information, or geographic spread across multiple jurisdictions is evident in recent opportunities. Business development professionals should verify whether activity under this code reflects genuine state and local demand for intravenous medical regulators or whether misclassification is driving visibility into unrelated industrial procurement.
