UNSPSC 42131504 Patient gowns (Commodity) encompasses incontinence-management garments and similar patient-care textile products that state and local health facilities procure for resident and patient use. The Illinois Veterans Home Quincy's April 2026 solicitation for TENA brand incontinence briefs—two specific product lines totaling 600 cases for fiscal year 2027—illustrates the actual buying pattern: state veterans homes and other long-term care facilities source branded incontinence briefs on multi-year supply contracts with firm, itemized pricing and FOB delivery to facility warehouses. Issuing bodies under this code include state-operated veterans homes and other state health and human services facilities; the source shows activity from state veterans care institutions.

The code shows recent activity in Illinois, with the Illinois Veterans Home Quincy posting a competitive solicitation on April 28, 2026 (IFB, due May 1, 2026) for named-brand incontinence briefs with a contract term running through June 30, 2027 and renewable for up to ten years. The procurement required vendors to carry $1 million general liability and $1 million auto liability coverage, submit new and warranted inventory, and deliver within thirty days to the facility's general store in Quincy. No set-aside restrictions applied, and no incumbent vendor was named. Beyond this Illinois opportunity, the source does not support additional recent state and local solicitations under this code.
