UNSPSC 42142602 Medical bulb syringes (Commodity) represents specialized medical supplies procured by state health agencies, municipal fire departments, and county emergency medical services for emergency response and institutional care settings. State and local governments buy these products as line items within broader medical supply solicitations—often bundled with catheters, feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, and other clinical consumables. The recent opportunities show this code operates within larger, mixed-item medical procurement vehicles rather than as standalone orders. Buying bodies include state health departments managing institutional care facilities, city fire and rescue divisions stocking emergency medical equipment, and county emergency services preparing first-responder capability. Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the City of Tampa Fire Department appear as active recent buyers in the medical supplies space.
