UNSPSC 42141706: Medical flotation cushions

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that provide flotation assistance to patients in a water based medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 611030.

UNSPSC 42141706 Medical flotation cushions is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities tagged under it do not reflect actual procurement of flotation cushions or related cushioning products. Instead, the opportunities span pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, 340B drug program administration, pharmacy operational equipment, and law enforcement supplies—none of which align with the code's nominal scope. The mismatch suggests either tagging error in the source records or that medical flotation cushions represent a negligible portion of purchasing activity under this code. State and local governments posting under 42141706 include county commissioners' offices, municipal health departments, county mental health authorities, state departments of human services, and hospital health systems, with purchasing conducted via RFP, RFQ, and sole-source methods. No recent opportunities explicitly solicit medical flotation cushions or similar medical cushioning products.

The geographic spread of tagged opportunities spans Texas (Tarrant County mental health authority, Harris County, City of Lubbock), Mississippi (George Regional Health System), Michigan (City of Detroit), Florida (Collier County), Illinois (Department of Human Services), and Ohio (unnamed hospital health system), with a multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell) advertising law enforcement equipment. The most substantial recent activity includes Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spend of $8.7 million (proposals due April 9, 2026); My Health My Resources of Tarrant County's RFP 27001 for pharmacy services spanning five on-site locations with $1.3 to $1.4 million in annual utilization and 91,000 to 92,000 prescriptions annually (due November 12, 2026); and the City of Lubbock's RFP for 340B contract pharmacy services (due August 27, 2026). The Illinois Department of Human Services issued a small purchase for one MedSelect Flex pharmacy machine for Alton Mental Health Center (due August 21, 2026), and the City of Detroit requested quotations for prescription drug supplies through its Police Department (due October 9, 2026, with Detroit-based small business and micro business set-asides available). This code shows limited decision relevance for flotation-cushion vendors and warrants re-classification or verification against actual commodity sourcing.
