UNSPSC 42142518 Biopsy aspirator products is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show little alignment with biopsy aspirators themselves. Instead, the code has captured a diverse set of laboratory and medical supply solicitations ranging from phlebotomy and specimen collection services to full-line medical supply distribution, histology laboratory services, and spinal implants. The actual work being solicited reflects broader laboratory specimen handling, collection supplies, and diagnostic or surgical medical products rather than aspirator devices specifically. Issuing bodies include county health departments (Marion County, Oregon), state cooperative purchasing alliances (Minnesota Multigovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Alliance), public universities (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio), county medical examiner offices (Brevard County, Florida), and cooperative service entities like Sourcewell on behalf of multiple participating jurisdictions. The opportunities span ITB, RFP, and RFQ notice types with response dates ranging from June 2026 through July 2026.

Geographic activity centers on Oregon, Minnesota, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with Minnesota showing particular concentration through MMCAP's multi-state cooperative purchasing framework serving approximately 8,000 government members nationwide. Representative solicitations include Marion County's ITB SO1814-26 for laboratory testing services and phlebotomy (due July 24, 2026), Brevard County's RFQ for histology laboratory services including tissue processing and staining (due April 7, 2026), and MMCAP's RFP 37259 for full-line medical supplies and equipment distribution with approximately $300 million in collective annual purchasing power across member agencies (due July 20, 2026). The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio's RFP 745-26-P04 for spinal implants on a bill-only basis (due March 10, 2026) illustrates the code's span into surgical instrumentation. The code shows active procurement activity but limited direct relevance to biopsy aspirators as a product category.
