UNSPSC 42312209: Umbilical tapes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a tape that can tie off an umbilical cord in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 300590.

UNSPSC 42312209 Umbilical tapes, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The single directly relevant solicitation in the recent opportunities block—Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017603 for Medical Supplies, Equipment, and Small Tools for Abilene State Supported Living Center (due July 30, 2026)—includes gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, catheters, feeding tubes, and enteral feeding sets alongside other specialized medical equipment and supplies sourced from manufacturers including Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, Becton Dickinson, and others. The remaining five opportunities in the block (underground utility locating, traveling sprinkler irrigation equipment, law enforcement equipment, irrigation system mainline upgrades, and debris removal services) do not reflect purchases under this code and appear to be the result of indexing misalignment in the source data.

The Texas HHSC solicitation represents the clearest signal: it is structured as a blanket purchase agreement with an estimated one unit per line item, a firm contract term of September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with an option to extend for one additional year, and evaluation based on ability to meet specifications, delivery capabilities, and price. Bidders must submit via email to pcsbids@hhs.texas.gov, through the HHS Online Bid Room, or by overnight mail of a USB drive to the PCS office in Austin, with standard HHS compliance requirements including E-Verify and cybersecurity training. Both HHSC and the Department of State Health Services are entitled to utilize any resulting contract. Beyond Texas, the source provides no other recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code, and no geographic concentration or repeat-buyer pattern emerges from the data.
