UNSPSC 42142532: Pericardiocentesis needles or kits

UNSPSC 42142532 Pericardiocentesis needles or kits is a Commodity code. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show no direct solicitations for pericardiocentesis needles or kits. Instead, the opportunities reflect a significant mismatch: they cover cooperative purchasing for full-line medical supplies (NASPO ValuePoint and MMCAP), histology laboratory services (Brevard County), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), laboratory testing and phlebotomy (Marion County), and law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell). None of these align with the specialized cardiac procedure supplies the code nominally describes. The code shows little relevant recent activity for its actual commodity scope.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code span state cooperative purchasing vehicles (South Dakota's NASPO ValuePoint, Minnesota's MMCAP), a county medical examiner's office (Brevard County, Florida), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county jail system (Marion County, Oregon), and a statewide cooperative (Sourcewell operating under Minnesota and Washington law). The geographic spread extends across South Dakota, Idaho, Florida, Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota, with national reach through the cooperative purchasing platforms. Representative opportunities include NASPO ValuePoint's RFP 1433 for medical supplies (proposals due November 9, 2026), MMCAP's RFP 37259 serving approximately 8,000 government members with $300 million annual purchasing power (proposals due July 20, 2026), and Brevard County's RFQ for histology laboratory services (proposals due April 7, 2026). The code's current activity does not reflect procurement of cardiac intervention supplies but rather broader medical and occupational health services.
