UNSPSC 42142632: Syringe, auto-disable with needle

Several new types of syringes have been designed to prevent re- use: auto-disable (AD) syringes automatically become disabled after one use.

UNSPSC 42142632 Syringe, auto-disable with needle is a Commodity code that captures single-use injection devices with integrated needle safety features procured by state health and human services agencies, municipalities, and emergency services. State and local buyers acquire these syringes as part of broader medical supply contracts for hospitals, state-supported living centers, emergency medical services, and fire rescue divisions. The syringes are typically bundled within larger medical consumables solicitations that include catheters, feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, and related clinical supplies rather than purchased in isolation. Issuing bodies span state health departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), municipal fire and rescue services (City of Tampa), and county emergency services (Marion County, Florida), alongside educational institution health operations.

Activity is concentrated in Texas and Florida based on recent postings. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017603 on July 15, 2026, due July 30, 2026, for medical supplies and equipment including syringes at the Abilene State Supported Living Center, structured as a blanket purchase agreement with firm fixed pricing and optional one-year contract extension through August 31, 2027. The City of Tampa issued ITB 26-P-00145 on March 25, 2026, due March 13, 2026, for 169 line items of medical and first aid supplies including syringes for the Tampa Fire Department Rescue Division, with an estimated contract value of $700,000.00 and a designated SLBE sheltered-market set-aside with a 5 percent bid discount cap of $10,000. Marion County, Florida posted procurement notice 09SS-103 on May 4, 2026, due May 11, 2026, seeking the Vidacare EZ-IO intraosseous infusion system including needle components for emergency medical services. These solicitations show steady but narrow demand tied to institutional healthcare and emergency response operations rather than broad government-wide adoption.
