UNSPSC 42142502: Anesthesia 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 anesthesia procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Anesthesia needles under 21 CFR 868.5120 and under FDA product code OFQ. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901832.

UNSPSC 42142502 Anesthesia needles, a Commodity code, shows limited direct recent activity specific to this product line. State and local governments procure anesthesia needles primarily through broader medical-supplies cooperative purchasing vehicles and full-line distributor agreements rather than as standalone commodity solicitations. When anesthesia needles appear in state and local procurement, they are typically bundled within comprehensive medical-supplies frameworks—such as needles, syringes, wound care, and specimen collection supplies—that serve health departments, correctional facilities, emergency medical services, hospital systems, and occupational health programs across multiple jurisdictions.

The issuing bodies active in this space include state cooperative purchasing alliances (NASPO ValuePoint, MMCAP), county health and correctional departments, and state transportation and ferry systems. The Minnesota Multigovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) RFP 37259, posted June 12, 2026 with proposals due July 20, 2026, solicits full-line medical-supplies distributors serving approximately 8,000 actively purchasing government members nationwide and generating approximately $300 million in collective annual purchasing power; the scope explicitly includes needles and syringes alongside gloves, wound care, specimen collection supplies, and surgical instruments. NASPO ValuePoint RFP 1433, posted September 25, 2026 with proposals due November 9, 2026, establishes master agreements for medical supplies across multiple states with South Dakota as the administering state. Geographic activity is concentrated in the upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest, with recent solicitations from Minnesota, South Dakota, Washington, Florida, and Oregon. Anesthesia needles as a discrete commodity do not anchor standalone recent solicitations; they surface instead as line items within integrated medical-supplies purchasing vehicles designed to achieve volume discounts and standardized terms across state and local members.
