UNSPSC 42142500: Injection and aspiration needles and accessories

In this classification, this class includes needles and other components utilized in injection or aspiration based medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42142500 Injection and aspiration needles and accessories, a Class code, encompasses the supply of hypodermic needles, syringes, lancets, and related specimen-collection devices that state and local governments procure for medical examinations, laboratory operations, occupational health surveillance, and inmate healthcare. The code sees activity primarily through cooperative purchasing vehicles and master-agreement frameworks rather than single-entity procurements, allowing participating jurisdictions to access negotiated pricing from qualified distributors. Issuing bodies include state procurement offices administering multi-state cooperative agreements, county health and corrections departments, and state transportation and ferries agencies operating occupational medicine programs.

Recent activity concentrates on multi-state cooperative purchasing initiatives and specialized medical services. The State of Idaho is administering NASPO ValuePoint RFP #1433 for Medical Supplies (due November 9, 2026), a master-agreement solicitation open to state and local government entities across multiple states seeking favorable pricing through collective volume. The Minnesota Multigovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) issued RFP 37259 (due July 20, 2026) for full-line medical supplies and equipment distributors to serve approximately 8,000 actively purchasing government members, with injection and aspiration needles listed among core commodity categories within a $300 million annual purchasing portfolio. Single-jurisdiction opportunities also appear: Marion County, Oregon solicited laboratory testing services and phlebotomy supplies under ITB SO1814-26 (due July 24, 2026) for adults in custody, and the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), which includes specimen collection. Geographic distribution spans Idaho, Minnesota, Oregon, Washington, and Florida, with the cooperative-purchasing model enabling vendors to serve participants across the continental United States.
