In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a hollow needle commonly used for rapid delivery or evacuation of liquids in a radiological based procedure in a medical setting.

UNSPSC 42142513 Radiology procedural needles, a Commodity code, shows limited alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The four opportunities posted since January 2026 do not center on radiology procedural needles; instead, they span laboratory and histology services, medical supply distribution, law enforcement equipment, and spinal implants. Of these, only the MMCAP medical supplies RFP (posted June 12, 2026) includes needles and syringes as part of a full-line distributor catalog serving approximately 8,000 government members across the United States with $300 million in collective annual purchasing power. The Marion County, Oregon phlebotomy and laboratory testing services solicitation (posted July 10, 2026) involves specimen collection supplies and phlebotomist services but does not isolate radiology procedural needles as a line item. The code shows no dedicated procurement for radiology procedural needles as a standalone commodity.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities span state-level cooperative purchasing (Minnesota Multigovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Alliance under the State of Minnesota Department of Administration), county government (Marion County, Oregon and Brevard County, Florida), a state local government unit and service cooperative (Sourcewell, Minnesota), and a university health system (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio). Geographic activity concentrates in Minnesota, Oregon, Florida, and Texas. The most relevant opportunity for this code segment is the MMCAP RFP 37259 Medical Supplies, with proposals due July 20, 2026, which solicits full-line distributors capable of supplying needles and syringes alongside other medical products; respondents must demonstrate capacity to serve at least twenty states, minimum $2 million average monthly sales, and at least four years of domestic operations. No dedicated solicitations for radiology procedural needles alone have posted recently under this code.
