UNSPSC 42142534: Intraosseous needles

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a hollow needle commonly used for rapid delivery or evacuation of liquids in intraosseous procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Intraosseous needles under 21 CFR 880. 557 and under FDA product code MHC. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901832.

UNSPSC 42142534 Intraosseous needles is a Commodity code, though recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect procurement of intraosseous needles specifically. Instead, the recent opportunities span broader medical supply, equipment, and occupational health surveillance sourcing — a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB for the Abilene State Supported Living Center listed specialized medical equipment and supplies including gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, catheters, feeding tubes, syringes, and enteral feeding sets; the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter's April 2026 IFB sought veterinary pharmaceuticals and clinic supplies; and the NASPO ValuePoint RFP posted in October 2026 encompasses medical supplies across multiple product categories for Idaho state agencies and participating public entities. The Washington State Department of Transportation's August 2026 RFP differs further — it solicits occupational medical surveillance services (baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit examinations) rather than supplies or equipment. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, county governments, transit authorities, cooperative purchasing consortiums, and state supported living centers.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and Washington, with the cooperative purchasing vehicle extending to Idaho and participating NASPO ValuePoint member states. The Texas HHS Commission's medical supply procurement for Abilene (IFB HHS0017603, bids due July 30, 2026) and Williamson County's veterinary supply IFB (26IFB24, due April 23, 2026) show steady state agency and county buying. The Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31 at 11:30 a.m. Pacific Time) requires a licensed physician board-certified in occupational medicine and covers 14 Washington locations across a two-year initial term with up to five one-year renewal options; evaluation is 40 percent price and 60 percent non-cost capability factors. The NASPO ValuePoint RFP NVP_1443 (due November 9, 2026) establishes a framework for medical supply distribution with firm unit pricing and potential volume discounts. The code shows little activity directly aligned with intraosseous needle procurement; firms targeting this category should verify actual product need with issuing bodies before pursuing.
