UNSPSC 42142615: Syringe accessories

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that provides accessories for a device consisting of a tube with a nozzle and piston or bulb for sucking in and ejecting liquid in a thin stream in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Syringe accessories under 21 CFR 872.6770 and under FDA product code EJI. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901831.

UNSPSC 42142615 Syringe accessories, a Commodity code, shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The code nominally covers syringe-related supplies, yet the recent opportunities logged under this code consist of irrigation system controller upgrades, occupational medical surveillance services, irrigation control panels, travel sprinkler equipment, MRO supplies, law enforcement equipment, and intraosseous infusion devices — none of which are syringe accessories. One opportunity (Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement for medical supplies including syringes and feeding tubes) contains syringe-adjacent products, but the bulk of recent activity under this code bears no relationship to the code's stated commodity. The opportunities span diverse issuing bodies: special-purpose authorities (Georgia World Congress Center Authority), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), municipalities (City of Pembroke Pines, City of Richardson, City of Huntsville), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), housing authorities (Fort Worth Housing Solutions), county governments (Marion County, Florida), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington and other jurisdictions).

Recent opportunities cluster in the South and Southwest, with activity in Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Washington State. The most concrete recent solicitations include the Georgia World Congress Center Authority's RFP for Calsense Irrigation Controller Upgrades (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington State Ferries locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Pembroke Pines' quick quote for a PSI Duplex Control Panel for irrigation (due August 19, 2026 at $12,000 estimated value), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for medical supplies including syringes and feeding tubes for the Abilene State Supported Living Center (due July 30, 2026). The code appears to suffer from misclassification by issuing bodies — the tagging does not align with syringe accessory procurement activity. Firms evaluating pursuit under this code should verify the actual commodity scope required before investing in bid preparation, as recent opportunities show negligible genuine syringe accessory demand.
