UNSPSC 42142535: Anesthesia nerve block kit or tray

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that consists of a tray with components and accessories or a hollow needle used in a nerve block anesthesia procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Anesthesia nerve block trays or needles under 21 CFR 868.5120 and under FDA product code BSP. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901832.

UNSPSC 42142535 Anesthesia nerve block kit or tray is a Commodity code that nominally covers specialized anesthesia delivery kits, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal relevance to that scope. The most recent solicitations instead address laboratory testing services, phlebotomy, histology lab services, medical supplies distribution, law enforcement equipment, and spinal implants — none of which align with anesthesia nerve block products. This mismatch suggests either classification error in the state and local posting systems or that the code is not actively used for its intended purpose in current procurement activity. The issuing bodies across these opportunities span county health services (Marion County, Oregon; Brevard County, Florida), state cooperative purchasing alliances (Minnesota Multigovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Alliance), university health systems (University of Texas Health Science Center), and regional law enforcement cooperatives (Sourcewell), reflecting the fragmented nature of state and local purchasing but offering no consistent signal around anesthesia-specific procurement.

Geographic activity appears scattered across Oregon, Florida, Minnesota, Washington, and Texas based on the recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include Marion County, Oregon's ITB for laboratory testing services and phlebotomy due July 24, 2026; MMCAP's RFP 37259 for full-line medical supplies and equipment distributors due July 20, 2026, targeting approximately 8,000 government members nationwide with $300 million in collective annual medical supply purchasing power; Sourcewell's RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment due June 16, 2026; Brevard County's RFQ for histology laboratory services due April 7, 2026; and University of Texas Health Science Center's RFP for spinal implants due March 10, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated commodity definition and warrants verification against the source UNSPSC taxonomy to ensure proper application to anesthesia-related procurement opportunities.
