UNSPSC 42142603: Medical cartridge syringes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that consists of a tube with a nozzle and piston or bulb and a cartridge for sucking in and ejecting liquid in a thin stream used in a procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901831.

UNSPSC 42142603 Medical cartridge syringes (Commodity) covers individual-use injection devices and related syringe components procured by state health agencies, municipal fire departments, and county emergency medical services. Recent state and local activity shows these products being bought as part of broader medical supply and equipment bundles rather than in dedicated single-product procurements. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, for example, solicited syringes alongside gastrostomy feeding tubes, catheters, and enteral feeding sets for the Abilene State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017603, posted July 15, 2026 with bids due July 30, 2026. The City of Tampa similarly included syringes within a comprehensive 169-line-item medical and first aid supplies bid (ITB 26-P-00145) intended for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, posted March 25, 2026. Issuing bodies include state health departments, municipal fire and rescue divisions, and county emergency medical services, all procuring syringes as part of routine operational medical supply replenishment.

The identified recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. Beyond the Texas HHSC and Tampa procurements, Marion County, Florida posted solicitation 09SS-103 on May 4, 2026 seeking intraosseous infusion systems with needle components for emergency medical response, representing a related but distinct injection/vascular-access product line. Geographic spread remains limited in the recent opportunities block; the source does not support claims of activity in other states or regions. The Tampa procurement (26-P-00145) is sheltered exclusively for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5 percent bid discount capped at $10,000 and an estimated contract value of $700,000, while the Texas HHSC and Tampa procurements both employ standard IFB and ITB notice types with firm fixed pricing and warranty requirements. Response dates have passed for most opportunities in the block; the HHSC IFB (HHS0017603) with a July 30, 2026 deadline is the only active solicitation.
