UNSPSC 42131504 Patient gowns is a Commodity code that encompasses incontinence briefs, suicide-prevention apparel, and other specialized patient clothing procured by state and local health and correctional facilities. State and local governments buy patient gowns and related garments primarily for long-term care operations, veterans facilities, and secure institutional settings where standard commercial medical apparel does not meet specialized functional or safety requirements. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state veterans homes, county correctional and custodial facilities, and state-operated care institutions.

Recent procurement activity centers in Illinois and Georgia. The Illinois Veterans Home Quincy posted an RFQ in April 2026 (due May 1, 2026) seeking TENA brand incontinence briefs — two specific product lines with an estimated combined 600 cases for the fiscal year July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with delivery required within thirty days of order to the facility on FOB destination terms. Barrow County, Georgia issued an IFB in February 2026 (due February 23, 2026) for suicide blankets and suicide smocks to be delivered to the Care and Custody facility at Milledgeville Warehouse, establishing a one-year initial contract with up to four one-year renewal options. Neither solicitation specified set-aside designations or incumbent vendors, and dollar values were not disclosed in the available documentation.
