UNSPSC 42141611 Patient belonging bags is a Commodity code that covers personal care and medical containment supplies for healthcare facilities. Recent state and local solicitations show that the code captures a broader spectrum of medical supplies and equipment procurement than the nominal title suggests—state health agencies and supported-living centers are actually buying specialized medical devices, feeding tubes, IV stabilization equipment, catheters, and related consumables alongside or instead of dedicated patient belongings containers. The issuing bodies include state departments of health and human services operating residential care and treatment facilities, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission representing a significant recent buyer. Work is structured as blanket purchase agreements with firm-fixed or index-adjusted pricing, estimated quantities of one unit per item at posting but with flexibility to increase or decrease based on program demand, and contract terms typically running twelve months with optional renewals.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posting IFB HHS0017603 on July 15, 2026, for medical supplies and equipment serving the Abilene State Supported Living Center, with bids due July 30, 2026. The solicitation covers nine line items including gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, catheters, feeding tubes, syringes, enteral feeding sets, SpO2 sensors, and IV pole clamps, requiring pricing from manufacturers including Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, Becton Dickinson, AV Anos, and Nonin. The contract runs September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with HHSC retaining a one-year extension option, and both HHSC and the Department of State Health Services are entitled to use any resulting contract. Responses are submitted via email to pcsbids@hhs.texas.gov, through the HHS Online Bid Room, or by hand delivery or overnight mail of a USB drive. The code shows minimal recent activity outside Texas in the provided opportunities block, limiting visibility into broader geographic concentration or multi-state issuing patterns.
