UNSPSC 42142101: Covers for heat or cold therapy products

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that provides either heat or cold through the covering of a human body part in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 621010.

UNSPSC 42142101 Covers for heat or cold therapy products is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities in the source include comprehensive durable medical equipment (DME) procurement from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, athletic training and conditioning services from the City of Tucson and Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District, law enforcement equipment from a Sourcewell cooperative, and special education supplies from multiple school districts—none of which centers on heat or cold therapy covers as a primary deliverable. The one opportunity mentioning thermal therapy products (Texas HHSC's RFP HHS0017173 for DME and Services) encompasses eleven DME categories spanning respiratory supplies, communication aids, orthotics and prosthetics, positioning devices, medical equipment and wound care supplies, biofeedback devices, and assistive technology across eleven geographic service regions, but does not isolate heat or cold therapy covers as a line item or focus area. The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities are state health and human services agencies, cities, school districts, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple counties and jurisdictions.

Recent activity shows geographic concentration in Texas (Texas HHSC, Tucson, Harlingen ISD, Klein ISD, Pinal County, and Donna ISD), California (Department of Health Services and State of California procurement), and multi-state cooperative procurement through Sourcewell (Washington counties and nationwide participant entities). The Texas HHSC RFP HHS0017173 posted June 2, 2026 with a response deadline of June 2, 2026 (already closed) seeks Master Contracts for DME and Services with a contract value not to exceed $5,000,000 over the term through August 31, 2031, and includes an HUB set-aside with a 21.1 percent utilization goal. The City of Tucson RFP 260163 posted May 13, 2026 with responses due June 9, 2026 seeks athletic training services for fire and police departments, evaluation weighted on Method of Approach, Price Proposal, and Qualifications & Experience. The code shows little recent activity that directly targets heat or cold therapy covers as a distinct procurement line.
