UNSPSC 42142539 Dialysis needles is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's recent opportunities reflect a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation content. Marion County, Oregon issued an ITB on July 10, 2026 (due July 24) for laboratory testing services and phlebotomy supplies for adults in custody—encompassing specimen collection supplies, courier services, test reporting, and phlebotomist services, but not dialysis needles specifically. The Minnesota Multigovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) posted an RFP on June 12, 2026 (due July 20) for full-line medical supplies and equipment distributors serving approximately 8,000 government members across the United States, with catalogs spanning needles, syringes, wound care, and specimen collection supplies among many other product lines. A Sourcewell RFP posted May 12, 2026 (due June 16) for law enforcement equipment to participating entities across multiple states carries no apparent relevance to dialysis needles. Brevard County, Florida issued an RFQ on April 6, 2026 (due April 7) for histology laboratory services for the Medical Examiner's Office, and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio posted an RFP on January 29, 2026 (due March 10) for spinal implants and surgical supplies—neither aligned with dialysis needles.

The recent opportunities show issuing bodies spanning county governments (Marion County, Brevard County), state-level cooperative purchasing alliances (MMCAP under Minnesota Department of Administration), regional service cooperatives (Sourcewell), and academic medical centers (UTHSA). Geographic activity appears concentrated in Oregon, Minnesota, Florida, and Texas, though MMCAP's scope spans the entire United States. The code shows no dedicated dialysis needle procurement in recent state and local solicitations; the activities recorded under this code appear to reflect tagging misalignment rather than genuine demand for dialysis needles as a distinct procurement item.
