UNSPSC 42142529: Needle trays or holders

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that consists of either a tray or set of holders configured to restraint needles in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Needle trays or holders under 21 CFR 880.5440 and under FDA product code FPA. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 392410.

UNSPSC 42142529 Needle trays or holders is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local solicitation activity directly matching its nominal scope. The two recent opportunities tagged to this code do not represent purchases of needle trays or holders. San Mateo County's San Mateo Medical Center posted an RFP for Surgical Power equipment on June 29, 2026 (proposal deadline May 28, 2026), seeking to replace obsolete power instruments across its hospital and clinic system with a five-year contract term. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of participating counties in Washington state and public entities nationwide, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026. Neither solicitation aligns with needle trays or holders procurement; the mismatch suggests the code may have been applied incorrectly in the state and local procurement system or that this particular commodity sees very limited recent demand.

The geographic spread of tagged activity is broad but disconnected from the code's actual scope: San Mateo County in California and a multi-state cooperative anchored in Minnesota but serving Washington state and jurisdictions across the United States and Canada. Because the two opportunities do not represent purchases of needle trays or holders, they provide no actionable intelligence about where state and local governments are actually buying this commodity or what demand conditions exist. Firms pursuing this code should verify that their target jurisdictions use the correct UNSPSC classification before investing in pursuit strategy, as the current activity signals either misclassification or dormant procurement activity for this particular product line.
