UNSPSC 42142611: Tuberculin 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 used in a tuberculin induction based procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901831.

UNSPSC 42142611 Tuberculin syringes (Commodity) sees minimal direct procurement activity in recent state and local solicitations. The code nominally covers small-gauge injection devices, but the recent opportunities block contains no tuberculin syringe–specific buys; instead, it includes five unrelated medical-equipment, irrigation, and MRO procurements (Marion County's intraosseous infusion systems, Valencia College's HDPE mainline irrigation, and general-purpose medical and facility supplies from Texas and Florida jurisdictions). The single opportunity closest to the code's scope is the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB for medical supplies at Abilene State Supported Living Center, which includes syringes among nine line items covering gastrostomy tubes, catheters, feeding tubes, IV devices, and sensors—but the syringe component is subsumed within a broad blanket purchase agreement rather than a discrete syringes contract. State and local demand for tuberculin syringes is absorbed primarily into larger medical-supply bundles or blanket agreements covering residential care facilities, health departments, and emergency response units rather than standalone commodity buys.

The issuing bodies active under this code are state health and human services agencies and municipal health departments rather than specialized procurement offices. The Texas HHSC contract runs September 2026 through August 2027 with an optional one-year extension, structured as a blanket purchase agreement with firm pricing on a fixed price sheet and estimated quantities of one unit per line item. The City of Tampa's $700,000 medical and first aid supplies bid (March 2026) for the Fire Department Rescue Division—though tagged with multiple NIGP codes rather than UNSPSC—represents the scale and institutional demand typical of this space. Activity clusters in Texas and Florida, where state health systems and municipal fire and rescue divisions conduct annual or multi-year supply renewals. The code shows low specialization and tight integration with larger medical-equipment and facility-supply aggregations; standalone tuberculin syringe procurement is rare in state and local markets, suggesting that this Commodity code is more valuable as a sub-component search filter within broader medical-supply RFPs than as a primary procurement category to monitor.
