UNSPSC 42231606 Colon decompression kits is a Commodity code covering specialized medical supplies and devices procured by state health and human services agencies to support institutional care settings. The recent solicitation activity shows that state procurement offices buy a broader range of enteral and parenteral feeding, catheterization, and patient-monitoring equipment under this code — including gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, catheters, feeding tubes, syringes, enteral feeding sets, SpO2 sensors, and IV pole clamps — rather than colon decompression kits in isolation. The issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services departments procuring for supported living centers and institutional care facilities, where these supplies support vulnerable populations requiring long-term medical management.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted the most recent opportunity under this code on July 15, 2026: an IFB (HHS0017603) for medical supplies and equipment for the Abilene State Supported Living Center, with bids due July 30, 2026. The solicitation is structured as a blanket purchase agreement covering nine line items with an estimated one unit per item, running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with an HHSC option to extend one additional year. Pricing must be firm and fixed using an Exhibit C pricing sheet, with unit rates inclusive of all labor, materials, supplies, and related expenses; price adjustments are permitted at HHSC's sole discretion based on CPI-W, CPI-U, or Federal Minimum Wage increases. The solicitation names specific manufacturer brands and product codes from Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, Becton Dickinson, AV Anos, and Nonin. Bidders may submit responses via email to pcsbids@hhs.texas.gov, through the HHS Online Bid Room, or by hand delivery or overnight mail of a USB drive to the PCS office at 1100 W. 49th Street, Austin, Texas.
