UNSPSC 42294306: Breast localization needles

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a hollow needle commonly used with a syringe to inject or extract substances or fluids associated with a breast localization procedure. US FDA regulates Breast localization needles under 21 CFR 880.5570 and under FDA product code FMI. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901832.

UNSPSC 42294306 Breast localization needles, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local solicitation activity aligned with the code's scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code describe laser equipment and technical support for operating rooms, surgical power instruments, outpatient building furniture, law enforcement equipment, and phlebotomy services—none of which represent breast localization needles or related surgical supplies. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual procurements tagged to it suggests either tagging error in the underlying database or that state and local purchasing offices are not actively soliciting breast localization needles under this code at present.

Without relevant recent opportunities in the source record, no issuing-body mix, geographic concentration, or representative procurement examples can be drawn. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify the UNSPSC classification in their target jurisdictions' procurement systems and confirm whether breast localization needles are purchased under a different code or are sourced through blanket orders, state health care contracts, or cooperative purchasing agreements not reflected in posted RFP or RFQ activity.
