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 absorbent incontinence briefs and specialized institutional protective garments procured by state and local health and corrections agencies. Recent opportunities show state and local governments buying branded incontinence briefs (TENA-specific products) for resident facilities and suicide-prevention blankets and smocks for institutional custody and care settings. The work reflects the breadth of patient care and inmate safety supplies demanded across public health and corrections infrastructure rather than a narrow product line. Issuing bodies include state veterans homes, county corrections and custody facilities, and state-operated care institutions. The procurements are typically conducted as competitive RFQs or ITBs with one-year initial terms and multi-year renewal options, and do not carry specialized set-asides or disadvantaged-business restrictions in the recent examples on record.

The code shows recent activity in Illinois and Georgia. Illinois Veterans Home Quincy posted an RFQ (Solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB51676) on April 28, 2026, for TENA incontinence briefs with a response deadline of May 1, 2026, specifying 300 cases each of two product variants (BRIEF STRETCH TENA ULTRA 2XLG and BRIEF STRETCH TENA SUPER LG/XLG) for delivery within thirty days to the Quincy facility. Barrow County, Georgia, posted an IFB (Solicitation 46700GDC0001193) on February 13, 2026, due February 23, 2026, for suicide blankets and suicide smocks to be delivered F.O.B. destination to the Milledgeville Warehouse. Both contracts feature extended option terms—the Illinois opportunity allows up to ten years of renewal, while the Georgia procurement provides up to four one-year renewal periods. Neither solicitation disclosed maximum contract value or identified incumbent vendors.
