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 recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity in the available record—a May 2026 City of Orlando Water Reclamation Enterprises Department solicitation (S26-0440)—concerns a 24-inch magnetic flowmeter for a wetlands pump station, a process instrumentation product wholly unrelated to intravenous medical equipment. The code's title does not match the work actually being procured under it in this instance, suggesting either a tagging error or that the code captures a narrow product line rarely solicited by state and local buyers.

The Orlando opportunity, posted May 13, 2026 with a response deadline of May 20, 2026, was structured as a sole-source procurement with Gilson Engineering Sales of Florida named as the exclusive authorized representative for Siemens Process Instrumentation products in Florida. Competing suppliers were invited to challenge the designation by submitting product information and statements of qualifications to Purchasing Agent Varun Desai by the response date. No contract award value was disclosed. The scarcity of recent opportunities and the mismatch between code name and actual procurement suggest this code warrants monitoring rather than active pursuit; state and local buyers do not appear to regularly source intravenous drop counters or regulators under this classification.
