UNSPSC 42142525: Irrigation needles

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a hollow needle commonly used for rapid delivery or evacuation of liquids in irrigation procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Irrigation needles under 21 CFR 878.42 and under FDA product code GCB. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901832.

UNSPSC 42142525 Irrigation needles, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single directly relevant opportunity is the Georgia World Congress Center Authority's RFP for Calsense Irrigation Controller Upgrades (PE92200RFP2027000000094, due October 7, 2026), which encompasses furnishing and installing controller hardware, communication equipment, and station-transfer components at two Atlanta-area facilities but does not specifically call for irrigation needles as a line item. The remaining opportunities in the recent block — occupational medical surveillance, duplex control panels for pump stations, travel sprinkler equipment, MRO supplies, law enforcement equipment, and intraosseous infusion devices — fall outside the irrigation needle category and reflect either mislabeling or database misclassification rather than substantive procurement demand under this code.

The Georgia World Congress Center Authority RFP is the only state or local issuing body soliciting work materially related to irrigation control systems. The City of Pembroke Pines (August 2026) sought a duplex control panel for an irrigation application but specified a pressure control system rather than needles, while the City of Richardson (May 2026) solicited three traveling sprinkler systems with hose reels and turbine drives. Fort Worth Housing Solutions posted a quote for irrigation services (July 2026) with insufficient detail to confirm scope alignment. Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Texas, with scattered Florida and Washington activity, but none of the opportunities name irrigation needles as a discrete deliverable. The code shows no identifiable pattern of repeat buyers or steady procurement volume under its core commodity definition.
