UNSPSC 42141702 Blanket frames or lifters is a Commodity code that covers patient handling and transfer equipment used in medical and institutional settings. State and local procurement under this code includes specialized medical devices and mobility aids for patient care, though recent solicitations show the code is being applied to a broader mix of medical supplies and equipment than the code name alone suggests. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and state health departments are the primary issuing bodies, procuring equipment for state-supported living centers and institutional care facilities. Work solicited includes gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, catheters, feeding sets, SpO2 sensors, and related clinical consumables alongside patient transfer and positioning devices.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas. The HHSC posted IFB HHS0017603 on July 15, 2026, for medical supplies and equipment at the Abilene State Supported Living Center with bids due July 30, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. Central Time; the solicitation covered nine line items from manufacturers including Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, and Becton Dickinson, structured as a blanket purchase agreement with firm-fixed pricing and an estimated one unit per item, with contract term from September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, and HHSC retaining an option to extend for up to one additional year. Both HHSC and the Department of State Health Services are entitled to utilize any resulting contract. The code shows limited recent geographic spread in the state and local opportunities block; Nevada activity appears unrelated to the code's nominal scope (the Nevada Highway Patrol phlebotomy-services opportunity does not involve patient transfer or lifting equipment).
