UNSPSC 42142501: Amniocentesis needles

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a hollow needle commonly used for rapid delivery or evacuation of liquids in an amniocentesis procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Amniocentesis needles under 21 CFR 884.1550 and under FDA product code HIO. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901832.

UNSPSC 42142501 Amniocentesis needles (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The five most recent opportunities solicited laboratory testing and phlebotomy services, full-line medical supplies and equipment distribution, law enforcement equipment, histology laboratory services, and spinal implants—none of which center on or explicitly reference amniocentesis needles as a primary procurement driver. The Marion County, Oregon ITB for laboratory testing services and phlebotomy (response due July 24, 2026) encompasses specimen collection supplies but does not itemize amniocentesis needles specifically. The Minnesota Multigovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Alliance RFP for medical supplies (response due July 20, 2026) lists needles and syringes within a comprehensive product catalog but does not distinguish amniocentesis needles as a line item. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought suggests that this Commodity code shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity.

No recent opportunities in the source are dedicated to amniocentesis needle procurement. State and local jurisdictions tagged these solicitations with code 42142501, but the actual scope—laboratory services, multi-line medical distribution, law enforcement equipment, histology, and spinal implants—does not support a meaningful market profile for amniocentesis needles as a standalone product line under active procurement.
