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, a Commodity code, classifies specialized medical needles used in emergency and clinical settings, though the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code reveal a broader procurement pattern centered on medical supplies, equipment, and veterinary pharmaceuticals rather than intraosseous needles specifically. State and local buyers under this code span health and human services agencies and county animal shelters, with Texas jurisdictions dominating the recent opportunity pool. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) procures clinical supplies including feeding tubes, catheters, syringes, and IV stabilization devices through blanket purchase agreements with established manufacturers such as Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, and Becton Dickinson. Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter, also in Texas, has solicited veterinary pharmaceuticals and clinic supplies including oral medications, multiple antibiotic formulations, and ancillary clinical products through open competitive bid processes.

Recent activity centers in Texas, where the HHSC issued IFB HHS0017603 for medical supplies and small tools at the Abilene State Supported Living Center with a July 30, 2026 response deadline, and Williamson County issued IFB 26IFB24 for veterinary pharmaceuticals and clinic supplies with an April 23, 2026 submission deadline. The HHSC opportunity structures nine line items as a blanket purchase agreement running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with pricing firm and fixed on a unit-rate basis and an option to extend one additional year at HHSC's discretion. The Williamson County solicitation establishes a one-year initial contract term extendable in 12-month increments up to 36 months total, requires vendors to develop an online ordering portal with electronic catalog and credit card payment capabilities, and mandates two-week delivery via UPS or FedEx. Both procurements emphasize firm pricing for initial contract periods with documented adjustments thereafter. No minimum purchase guarantees or specific budget figures appear in the solicitations, and no set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are identified in either opportunity.
