UNSPSC 42142546: Microemulsifying needles

Needles with double hub design used for mixing two agents in back and forth motion between two syringes. Used for suspension of products with poor solubility.

UNSPSC 42142546 Microemulsifying needles (Commodity) sees little relevant recent state and local procurement activity under its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not align with microemulsifying needles as a product category. Instead, the block shows state and local solicitations for broad medical-supplies master agreements, histology laboratory services, occupational medical surveillance, laboratory testing and phlebotomy, full-line medical-equipment distribution, and law-enforcement equipment — none of which constitute needle procurement. The code appears to be a mismatch with the opportunities sourced against it, suggesting either a tagging error in the procurement database or that microemulsifying needles represent a narrow subcategory within broader medical-supply or lab-equipment solicitations that are not being explicitly highlighted by state and local issuers.

The opportunities that do appear in the block represent issuing bodies across state cooperative-purchasing vehicles (NASPO ValuePoint in South Dakota, MMCAP in Minnesota, Sourcewell in Minnesota), county health and medical offices (Brevard County, Marion County), and state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic activity spans South Dakota, Minnesota, Florida, Oregon, and Washington. If microemulsifying needles are procured at all under this code by state and local entities, they would likely flow through the broader medical-supplies master agreements — such as MMCAP RFP 37259 (Minnesota Multigovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Alliance, proposals due July 20, 2026) or NASPO ValuePoint RFP 1433 (South Dakota administering, proposals due November 9, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time) — rather than standalone needle solicitations. No direct RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB for microemulsifying needles specifically appears in the recent-opportunities block.
