UNSPSC 42142538: Paracentesis sets or trays

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that consists of a set or tray used in a paracentesis procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 392410.

UNSPSC 42142538 Paracentesis sets or trays, a Commodity code, represents specialized single-use medical procedural kits used in healthcare facilities for fluid withdrawal and diagnostic procedures. State and local government procurement under this code focuses on acquiring standardized medical supplies for hospitals, state-supported living centers, correctional health systems, and other publicly operated healthcare settings that perform routine paracentesis procedures.

The source material contains only one solicitation clearly aligned with the code's scope: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) IFB HHS0017603 for medical supplies and equipment at the Abilene State Supported Living Center, with bids due July 30, 2026. That procurement includes multiple specialized medical items beyond paracentesis sets—gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, catheters, feeding tubes, syringes, and enteral feeding sets from manufacturers including Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, and Becton Dickinson. The contract structure is a blanket purchase agreement with a one-year initial term (September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027) and an option for one additional year; pricing is firm and fixed with adjustments permitted at HHSC's discretion based on the Consumer Price Index or Federal Minimum Wage increases. The remaining five opportunities in the source material—utility locating services in Pasco County, irrigation equipment purchases in Richardson, law enforcement equipment through Sourcewell, Valencia College irrigation mainline upgrades, and Fairfax County debris removal—fall outside the paracentesis sets category and do not represent relevant market activity under this code. Based on the available source material, procurement activity under UNSPSC 42142538 shows minimal recent public solicitation volume, with Texas as the only state represented in the single on-code opportunity identified.
