UNSPSC 42131502: Patient caps

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a cap by people undergoing medical treatment. US FDA regulates Patient caps under 21 CFR 878.4040 and under FDA product code FYF. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 650699.

UNSPSC 42131502 Patient caps, a Commodity code, encompasses incontinence briefs and related absorbent care products that state and local governments procure for long-term care facilities, veterans homes, and other institutional settings. State and local issuing bodies—chiefly state departments operating veterans homes and skilled nursing facilities—solicit these products on an as-needed, term-contract basis to stock resident care supplies. The work involves supplying new, unused absorbent briefs in manufacturer-specified sizes and quantities, with vendor responsibility for delivery to facility receiving locations, maintenance of commercial liability and workers' compensation insurance, and adherence to state payment and invoicing timelines.

Illinois Veterans Home Quincy, an Adams County state facility, posted an RFQ on April 28, 2026 (Solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB51676) seeking TENA brand incontinence briefs—specifically BRIEF STRETCH TENA ULTRA 2XLG (Manufacturer Item Number 61390) and BRIEF STRETCH TENA SUPER LG/XLG (Manufacturer Item Number 67903)—in estimated quantities of 300 cases each for the fiscal year July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with proposals due May 1, 2026. The contract allows for term extension up to ten years and requires delivery within thirty days of order to the facility's general store on FOB destination basis. The source reflects limited recent state and local activity under this code; only one opportunity is present in the recent-opportunities block.
