UNSPSC 42142600: Syringes and accessories

In this classification, this class includes syringes and syringe components and accessories, utilized in a wide variety of medical interactions.

UNSPSC 42142600 Syringes and accessories, a Class code, encompasses medical devices and supplies state and local governments procure for occupational health, emergency medical services, and facility-level clinical operations. However, the recent opportunities tagged under this code show substantial misalignment with its nominal scope. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the code are purchasing irrigation control systems (Calsense controllers, PSI duplex panels, traveling sprinkler equipment), occupational medical surveillance services (baseline and periodic examinations), and emergency infusion systems, none of which are syringes or syringe-related accessories. The one opportunity that does map to traditional medical supplies—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 bid for gastrostomy feeding tubes, catheters, IV stabilization devices, and syringes for the Abilene State Supported Living Center—represents a narrow institutional procurement rather than a pattern of sustained activity in this code. Issuing bodies include state health and transportation agencies, county governments, and municipal procurement offices.

Recent activity is geographically dispersed across Texas (Fort Worth Housing Solutions irrigation quote, Abilene HHSC medical supplies IFB, Richardson ITB for traveling sprinklers, Huntsville MRO supplies ITB), Florida (Pembroke Pines PSI control panel quote, Marion County EZ-IO infusion systems procurement), Georgia (Georgia World Congress Center Authority Calsense irrigation RFP due October 7, 2026), Washington (WSDOT occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026), and Minnesota-coordinated multistate cooperative purchasing (Sourcewell law enforcement equipment RFP). The only solicitations with material decision relevance to syringes or accessories are the Texas HHSC bid for the Abilene State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017603, due July 30, 2026, covering syringes and enteral feeding sets among nine line items) and Marion County's May 2026 procurement for Vidacare EZ-IO infusion devices and needles. The code shows little recent activity genuinely aligned with syringes and syringe-related products; the majority of tagged opportunities are irrigation systems, occupational health services, and unrelated equipment.
