UNSPSC 42142608: Medical syringes without needle

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 lacking a needle for use in a general medical procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Medical syringes without needle under 21 CFR 870.1650 and under FDA product code DQF. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901831.

UNSPSC 42142608 Medical syringes without needle is a Commodity code that does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The opportunities in the record span irrigation control systems, occupational medical surveillance services, irrigation equipment and duplex control panels, and law enforcement equipment — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of syringe procurement. The one solicitation that approaches medical supplies — Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017603 for medical supplies, equipment, and small tools at the Abilene State Supported Living Center, posted July 15, 2026, with bids due July 30, 2026 — includes syringes as one of nine line items alongside gastrostomy tubes, catheters, feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, and enteral feeding sets from suppliers including Becton Dickinson and Cardinal Health, structured as a blanket purchase agreement running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027.

The issuing-body mix shows no clear concentration: solicitations come from state-supported residential facilities (Texas HHSC), counties (Marion County, Florida), cities (Pembroke Pines and Richardson, Texas; Huntsville, Texas), transit authorities (Washington State Ferries via the state DOT), housing authorities (Fort Worth Housing Solutions), and regional facilities authorities (Georgia World Congress Center Authority). Geographic activity spans Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Washington, with no standout repeat buyers across the code. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement records suggests either miscoding in the source data or limited recent state and local demand for syringe-only solicitations during the window captured.
