UNSPSC 42142541 Spinal aspiration needles is a Commodity code that in recent state and local activity captures procurement of medical supplies and related laboratory and occupational health services rather than spinal aspiration needles specifically. State and local governments are buying these items primarily through cooperative purchasing vehicles and master-agreement frameworks that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions. Issuing bodies include state procurement offices administering cooperative agreements (South Dakota via NASPO ValuePoint, Minnesota via MMCAP), county health and medical examiner offices (Brevard County, Marion County), state transportation and ferry agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and service cooperatives serving multiple public entities (Sourcewell). The code shows little recent activity narrowly aligned with spinal aspiration needles as a discrete product line; instead, recent solicitations tag broader medical-supplies procurement under this code, indicating either misclassification in state procurement systems or use of the code as a catch-all for medical consumables.

Recent activity spans multiple states and cooperative purchasing regions. NASPO ValuePoint RFP 1433, posted September 25, 2026 with proposals due November 9, 2026, establishes master agreements for medical supplies across state and local entities nationwide administered by South Dakota. MMCAP RFP 37259, posted June 12, 2026 with a July 20 deadline, sought full-line medical supplies and equipment distributors serving approximately 8,000 government members with $300 million in annual collective purchasing power. Brevard County, Florida solicited histology laboratory services in RFQ-7-26-07 (questions due March 26, 2026; proposals due April 7, 2026), while Marion County, Oregon solicited laboratory testing and phlebotomy services under ITB SO1814-26 (due July 24, 2026). The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026) across fourteen ferry system locations. These opportunities indicate that actual buying activity under this code runs toward full-line medical supplies, laboratory services, and occupational health contracting rather than a single procedural consumable.
