UNSPSC 42142608 Medical syringes without needle is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure single-use syringes for emergency medical services, institutional healthcare, and medical supply distribution. Recent solicitations show syringes being acquired as part of broader medical consumables packages rather than as standalone line items. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB for medical supplies to the Abilene State Supported Living Center includes syringes among nine line items of specialized medical equipment and supplies (gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, catheters, feeding tubes, enteral feeding sets, SpO2 sensors, and IV pole clamps) with brand-specific manufacturer requirements from Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, Becton Dickinson, and others. The City of Tampa's March 2026 bid for medical and first aid supplies to the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division encompasses 169 line items of emergency medical consumables, ranging from 2 units for specialty items to over 30,000 units for high-use supplies, with quantities and scope suggesting syringes represent a material portion of the total volume. Issuing bodies range across state health agencies, county healthcare systems, municipal fire departments, and public institutions—health and human services departments are the repeat buyers in the available record.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. The HHS Commission's blanket purchase agreement with Abilene State Supported Living Center (contract term September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with optional one-year extension) is the most tightly scoped recent opportunity; bids were due July 30, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. Central Time via email to pcsbids@hhs.texas.gov or the HHS Online Bid Room. Tampa's IFB 26-P-00145 (due March 13, 2026, estimated value $700,000) is designated as a sheltered market for certified Small Local Business Enterprises with a 5 percent bid discount, not to exceed $10,000. The source contains no other recent solicitations explicitly using the syringe code or directly comparable commodity opportunities; the remaining opportunities in the dataset (traveling sprinkler irrigation equipment, law enforcement equipment, and irrigation mainline upgrades) are outside the medical supply domain and do not represent activity under this code.
