UNSPSC 42142617: Fountain syringes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product consisting of a fluid reservoir with a tube attached to the bottom so that the flow is controlled by gravity, used for vaginal or rectal injections and for irrigating wounds in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901831.

UNSPSC 42142617 Fountain syringes (Commodity) sees limited recent state and local procurement activity, with solicitations focused on medical supplies broadly rather than fountain syringes as a standalone product line. The code shows actual buying by health care agencies, school districts, and municipalities, but the recent opportunities block identifies only one instance where fountain syringes are mentioned—as part of a larger medical supplies procurement by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for the Abilene State Supported Living Center. The work actually being solicited under this code spans specialized medical equipment and supplies, including gastrostomy feeding tubes, catheters, syringes, enteral feeding sets, SpO2 sensors, and related medical consumables for facility operations. Issuing bodies are predominantly state health agencies and municipal departments; no school districts, transit authorities, or special-purpose districts appear in the recent opportunities.

Texas dominates the recent activity, with the Texas HHSC procurement (IFB HHS0017603, due July 30, 2026) and the City of Huntsville MRO supplies solicitation (ITB 26-16, due May 14, 2026) as primary signals. The HHSC opportunity is a blanket purchase agreement for nine line items of medical supplies and equipment—including syringes among other items—with a contract term of September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 and an optional one-year extension; pricing is firm and fixed with potential CPI-W or Federal Minimum Wage adjustments at HHSC's sole discretion. The lack of other recent opportunities specifically naming fountain syringes or narrower medical supply categories suggests the code sees activity primarily when issuing bodies bundle syringes with broader medical or MRO procurement rather than soliciting them as a distinct commodity.
