UNSPSC 42144200: Acupuncture equipment

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in acupuncture based medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42144200 Acupuncture equipment, a Class code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect acupuncture equipment procurement; instead, they span laboratory testing services, medical supplies distribution, law enforcement equipment, histology lab services, and spinal implants—none of which are acupuncture-related products or equipment. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how these opportunities were tagged or that the code receives little relevant recent procurement activity in the state and local space.

The four most recent opportunities posted under this code originate from disparate issuing bodies: Marion County, Oregon (county corrections), Minnesota Multigovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Alliance under the State of Minnesota Department of Administration (multistate cooperative for medical supplies), Sourcewell (Minnesota state local government unit and service cooperative serving multiple states and Canadian entities), and Brevard County, Florida (county medical examiner) and University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (state higher education). Geographic activity spans Oregon, Minnesota, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Response dates ranged from April 7, 2026 (Brevard County histology lab RFQ) through July 24, 2026 (Marion County phlebotomy ITB). None of these opportunities involve acupuncture needles, acupuncture tables, acupuncture point locators, or other core acupuncture-specific equipment. The code does not show relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing acupuncture-related procurement.
