In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a bib by people undergoing medical treatment. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 650400.

UNSPSC 42131501 Patient bibs (Commodity) encompasses incontinence briefs and similar absorbent personal protective garments procured by state and local health and human services facilities. The work involves supplying branded or specified brief products — typically in bulk quantities of cases and packs — on an as-needed basis to residential care facilities, veterans homes, nursing facilities, and similar state-operated institutions. State and local buyers under this code are primarily state health departments and state-operated long-term care facilities managing resident supplies; no recent activity from counties, cities, or school districts appears in the current opportunity set.

The Illinois Veterans Home Quincy (IVHQ) posted a representative opportunity on April 28, 2026, seeking TENA brand incontinence briefs for fiscal year 2027 (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027) via RFQ notice (Solicitation Number 27497DVAQUINCB51676, due May 1, 2026). The solicitation specifies two TENA products — BRIEF STRETCH TENA ULTRA 2XLG and BRIEF STRETCH TENA SUPER LG/XLG — in estimated quantities of 300 cases each, with delivery required within thirty days of order to the facility's general store in Quincy, Illinois. The contract allows extension up to ten years, carries insurance and warranty requirements ($1 million general commercial liability per occurrence; twelve-month product warranty), and operates on firm pricing submitted via BidBuy Purchase Order. No set-asides or vendor restrictions are noted. Recent opportunities under this code appear limited; the IVHQ solicitation is the only documented state or local posting in the current dataset.
