UNSPSC 42131505: Patient infant shirts or vests

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a shirt or vest by infants undergoing medical treatment. US FDA regulates Patient infant shirts or vests under 21 CFR 878.4040 and under FDA product code FYB. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 610990.

UNSPSC 42131505 Patient infant shirts or vests is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement covers specialized institutional apparel and safety textiles for vulnerable populations in custody and care settings. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring suicide prevention blankets and smocks for correctional and behavioral health facilities, incontinence management briefs for veteran housing, and related specialized garments for medical and institutional use. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, county facilities, independent school districts, and state veterans homes—institutions managing populations requiring specialized containment, hygiene, or safety textiles where standard apparel is unsuitable. Work sourced under this code emphasizes product specifications tied to safety standards, institutional durability, and compliance with facility protocols rather than custom fabrication or design services.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Midwest. Barrow County, Georgia posted a competitive sealed RFP in February 2026 for suicide blankets and suicide smocks to supply its Care and Custody facility at Milledgeville Warehouse on an F.O.B. destination basis, with a one-year initial term and up to four renewal options (due February 23, 2026). The Illinois Veterans Home Quincy, located in Adams County, Illinois, solicited TENA brand incontinence briefs on an as-needed basis for fiscal year 2027, specifying two product lines with estimated volumes of 300 cases each and a contract term potentially extending up to ten years (due May 1, 2026). The Laredo Independent School District's February 2026 RFP for grease trap removal services appears to be mistagged under this code and does not reflect relevant procurement activity. Most opportunities require proof of commercial and workers' compensation insurance, compliance with state transportation and disposal licensing (where applicable), and FOB destination delivery to institutional warehouses.
