UNSPSC 42142545: Needle cap or protection device accessories

Accessories included with needle cap or protection devices

UNSPSC 42142545 Needle cap or protection device accessories, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The source contains nine opportunities, none of which concern needle caps or protective device accessories; instead, the tagged opportunities cover irrigation system controllers, occupational medical surveillance, duplex control panels for irrigation, travel sprinkler equipment, MRO supplies, law enforcement equipment, and intraosseous infusion systems. A review of these postings reveals material mismatch: the Calsense Irrigation Controller Upgrades (Georgia World Congress Center Authority, RFP, due October 7, 2026) centers on furnishing and installing eight CS3000 pedestal controllers and four wall-mount controller upgrades with communication equipment, not needle caps. The PSI Duplex Control Panel for Irrigation (City of Pembroke Pines, Florida, Quick Quote, due August 19, 2026) involves a 5 HP and 10 HP control panel with a Pump Genius Weg variable speed controller, also unrelated to needle caps. The EZ-IO Infusion System procurement (Marion County, Florida, due May 11, 2026) involves intraosseous infusion devices and needles themselves, not caps or protective accessories for needles. The Abilene State Supported Living Center medical supplies bid (Texas HHSC, IFB, due July 30, 2026) specifies gastrostomy tubes, catheters, feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, and other clinical consumables—not needle caps.

The code shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The geographic spread of the tagged opportunities spans Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Washington, but the subject matter divergence across irrigation control systems, occupational health services, utility MRO supplies, and medical equipment suggests systematic miscoding rather than legitimate commodity classification. State and local procurement offices tagging these opportunities appear to have applied UNSPSC 42142545 to a broad range of products and services without regard to needle caps or protective device accessories. Firms pursuing work under this code should verify the actual commodity or service family intended before investing business development resources, as the current tag does not reliably identify relevant procurement opportunity.
