UNSPSC 42231506 Nasoenteric tube securing devices is a Commodity code covering specialized medical fastening and stabilization equipment used in institutional healthcare settings. State and local governments procure these devices primarily through state health and human services departments managing state-supported living centers and similar residential care facilities. The scope encompasses tubes, fasteners, and securing mechanisms used in enteral nutrition delivery — tubing that delivers nutrition directly to the stomach or small intestine — and related IV and feeding-line stabilization products. Issuing bodies are dominated by state health agencies and state-operated institutional care facilities serving developmentally disabled or medically complex populations; the code sees little activity beyond this narrow institutional procurement base.

Texas represents the recent geographic focus, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) posting IFB HHS0017603 on July 15, 2026, for medical supplies and equipment including nasoenteric and gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, catheters, and related enteral feeding supplies for the Abilene State Supported Living Center, with responses due July 30, 2026. The solicitation is structured as a blanket purchase agreement with firm fixed pricing and estimated quantities of one unit per item; the contract term runs September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with one optional renewal year. Both HHSC and the Department of State Health Services may utilize any resulting contract. The source contains no evidence of parallel activity in other states or jurisdictions.
