UNSPSC 42231508 Enteral feeding set valves (Commodity) describes specialized tubing and valve components used in tube feeding systems for patients unable to consume food orally. State and local governments procure these items primarily through healthcare systems, state-supported living centers, and institutional care facilities that serve populations with developmental disabilities, chronic illnesses, or post-surgical recovery needs. The recent solicitation activity shows enteral feeding sets being bought alongside related gastroenterology supplies — feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, catheters, and associated connectors — as part of broader medical supply contracts that bundle multiple specialized items. Issuing bodies under this code include state health and human services departments operating long-term care facilities; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) represents the primary recent buyer in the available record.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Texas. The HHSC issued IFB HHS0017603 on July 15, 2026, soliciting enteral feeding sets and related medical supplies for the Abilene State Supported Living Center with a response deadline of July 30, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. Central Time. The IFB was structured as a blanket purchase agreement for the contract period September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with an optional one-year extension, and identified specific manufacturer product codes from Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, Becton Dickinson, AV Anos, and Nonin. Questions closed July 22 with addendum responses posted July 24. Pricing was firm and fixed with unit rates inclusive of labor, materials, supplies, and related expenses, and both HHSC and the Department of State Health Services retained rights to utilize any resulting contract. Beyond this single recent opportunity, the source provides no additional state or local solicitations under this code.
