UNSPSC 53131645: Ear piercing instrument or gun

Instrument used to puncture ear lobe with a starter stud or earring.

UNSPSC 53131645 Ear piercing instrument or gun is a Commodity code that covers manual and powered ear-piercing devices used in school health clinics, municipal health departments, and medical facilities. State and local governments procure these instruments primarily for student health services, occupational health programs, and clinical operations where ear piercing is offered as part of routine health or wellness services. The devices typically include single-use or sterilizable piercing guns, hypoallergenic earring systems, and associated piercing kits that meet health and safety standards for institutional use.

The code sees minimal recent procurement activity in state and local markets. No recent opportunities appear in current solicitation records for this Commodity, indicating either sporadic demand or purchasing handled through existing health-services contracts rather than standalone RFPs or IFBs. School districts and county health departments are the primary potential buyers, but no representative recent solicitations are available to characterize current geographic spread or issuing-body patterns. Organizations pursuing this code should monitor health department purchasing channels and school district health-services procurement cycles rather than expect regular open-market opportunities.
