UNSPSC 42231611 Duodenal tube balloons, a Commodity code, captures specialized medical feeding and diagnostic devices that state and local health agencies and supported-living facilities procure through blanket purchase agreements and periodic IFBs. The code encompasses gastrostomy feeding tubes, enteral feeding sets, and related duodenal access equipment used in residential care settings. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect procurement by state health and human services departments supplying facilities such as state-supported living centers, where these devices support long-term resident nutrition and medical management. The work involves sourcing branded medical-device inventory from established manufacturers — Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, Becton Dickinson, and others — and maintaining supply chains that meet facility specifications and regulatory compliance.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017603 on July 15, 2026, soliciting medical supplies and equipment for the Abilene State Supported Living Center with bids due July 30, 2026. The notice covers nine line items of specialized medical supplies, including duodenal feeding tubes alongside gastrostomy tubes, IV stabilization devices, and related enteral-access products; the contract structure is a blanket purchase agreement with a September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 term and an option for one additional year. Pricing is firm and fixed using the solicitation's pricing sheet, with unit rates inclusive of all labor and materials; price adjustments are permitted at the agency's discretion based on CPI or Federal Minimum Wage increases. Evaluation emphasizes bidder ability to meet specifications, delivery capability, and price. The solicitation indicates Texas is the primary recent geographic source of activity under this code, though the concentration of opportunities and repeat buyer base cannot be determined from a single recent posting.
