UNSPSC 42142601 Medical aspiration or irrigation syringes is a Commodity code that covers specialized medical syringes and infusion devices purchased by state health departments, county emergency medical services, and municipal fire rescue divisions for patient care, emergency response, and facility-based medical operations. Recent state and local opportunities show demand spanning aspiration and irrigation syringes, intraosseous infusion systems, enteral feeding tubes, and related vascular access equipment, often specified by manufacturer brand and product code and bundled with complementary medical supplies in larger procurement packages. Issuing bodies include state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county health and emergency services (Marion County, Florida), municipal fire departments and rescue divisions (Tampa Fire Department), and healthcare support facilities operated by state agencies. The code does not see narrow, single-product solicitations; instead, syringes and infusion devices appear as line items within broader medical-supply RFPs and ITBs that cover dozens of consumables and equipment categories, typically awarded to vendors with established medical-supply distribution relationships.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017603 (due July 30, 2026) for medical supplies including syringes and feeding tubes for the Abilene State Supported Living Center, with responses from Cardinal Health, C.R.

Marion County, Florida issued procurement notice 09SS-103 (due May 11, 2026) seeking Vidacare EZ-IO intraosseous infusion systems for emergency medical services.
