UNSPSC 42231612 Duodenal tube tips is a Commodity code covering specialized feeding and enteral-access tubes and related delivery accessories that state and local health and human services agencies procure for institutional care settings. The scope includes duodenal tubes proper but extends in practice to gastrostomy feeding tubes, enteral feeding sets, IV stabilization devices, catheters, syringes, and related consumable medical supplies used in bedside feeding and vascular access. State health agencies and state-operated care facilities drive procurement under this code—specifically departments of health and human services, state-supported living centers, and related institutional-care operations that serve vulnerable populations requiring specialized feeding or vascular access support. Purchases are typically structured as blanket purchase agreements with estimated unit quantities and the discretion to order additional quantities as program needs fluctuate, rather than one-time line buys.

Pricing is firm and fixed by unit rate on a provided exhibit, and the solicitation specifies brand-name products from vendors including Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, Becton Dickinson, and Nonin. Recent activity in this code is limited; this Texas HHSC opportunity represents the primary recent state or local solicitation on file. Geographic concentration appears narrow, with no broad multi-state activity visible in the available opportunities.
