UNSPSC 42231500: Enteral feeding equipment and supplies

In this classification, this class includes the equipment and supplies utilized in enteral feeding based medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42231500 Enteral feeding equipment and supplies, a Class code, covers medical consumables and devices used to deliver nutrition directly into the gastrointestinal tract — primarily feeding tubes, enteral feeding sets, syringes, and related administration supplies purchased by state health and human services agencies operating long-term residential care facilities. State and local governments procure these items for state supported living centers, institutional care settings, and other publicly operated facilities serving individuals with complex medical needs. Purchasing typically follows institutional contracting cycles tied to annual budget and care-planning processes.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) issued IFB HHS0017603 in July 2026 for medical supplies and equipment including gastrostomy feeding tubes, enteral feeding sets, IV stabilization devices, and syringes for the Abilene State Supported Living Center, with bids due July 30, 2026. The contract was structured as a blanket purchase agreement with an estimated initial volume of one unit per line item and a term running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with one optional renewal year. HHSC required firm and fixed pricing using a detailed price sheet specifying manufacturer brands and product codes from Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, Becton Dickinson, AV Anos, and Nonin, and retained the right to adjust pricing based on CPI-W, CPI-U, or Federal Minimum Wage increases. Both HHSC and the Department of State Health Services were entitled to use any resulting contract.
