UNSPSC 42142607: Medical micro syringes

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

UNSPSC 42142607 Medical micro syringes (Commodity) covers injection devices and related precision dispensing equipment purchased by state and local health agencies, public health departments, and institutional healthcare operations. The code appears in recent solicitations as one line item among broader medical supplies and equipment packages rather than as a standalone procurement category. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017603 for the Abilene State Supported Living Center, due July 30, 2026, includes syringes among nine line items of specialized medical equipment and supplies spanning gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, and catheters. State and local issuing bodies using this code span health and human services departments, institutional care facilities, and emergency medical services operations. Solicitations often bundle medical micro syringes with related injection, infusion, and catheterization equipment rather than procuring them as isolated commodities, reflecting operational purchasing patterns at supported living centers, nursing facilities, and emergency responder networks.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with the Texas HHS commission and City of Tampa leading among identified issuers. The City of Tampa's Bid 26-P-00145 for medical and first aid supplies, due March 13, 2026, listed 169 line items for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division with an estimated contract value of $700,000 and included airway devices, respiratory equipment, and medical consumables alongside injection equipment. Marion County, Florida's procurement notice 09SS-103 (due May 11, 2026) targeted a Vidacare EZ-IO intraosseous infusion system, indicating that emergency medical services procurement in the region extends beyond standard syringes to specialized rapid-access devices. The Texas HHS solicitation structures its medical supplies contract as a blanket purchase agreement with firm and fixed pricing under UNSPSC-adjacent NIGP codes, running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with a one-year extension option. The Tampa Fire Department procurement applied a sheltered-market set-aside for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5 percent bid discount and outreach to nine qualified vendors in the Tampa Bay and central Florida region.
