UNSPSC 42142109 Therapeutic hot or cold therapy mitts is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure this equipment as part of broader durable medical equipment (DME) and athletic training service contracts supporting injury prevention, rehabilitation, and treatment across health departments, detention centers, school districts, and public safety agencies. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's recent master contract for DME serving traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury programs encompasses therapeutic devices and positioning equipment alongside respiratory supplies, orthotics, prosthetics, and assistive technology within eleven geographic service regions. Athletic training services solicitations from the City of Tucson Fire and Police Departments and Pinal County's detention center reentry program indicate demand for therapeutic support equipment integrated with professional coaching and rehabilitation services. School districts including Klein ISD and Harlingen CISD solicit strength, conditioning, and physical education equipment as line items within broader instructional and athletic procurement, though the most recent opportunities show sparse direct mention of therapeutic hot or cold therapy products specifically.

Recent opportunities show geographic concentration in Texas and Arizona, with secondary activity in California and Minnesota. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's RFP HHS0017173 for DME master contracts (due June 2, 2026) is the most substantive recent solicitation, structured as a statewide master contract with contract value capped at $5,000,000 cumulative, requiring current medical device licensure, minimum two years in business, and a 21.1 percent HUB utilization goal with mandatory subcontracting plan submission. The City of Tucson's RFP 260163 for athletic training services (due June 9, 2026) and Pinal County's RFP for detention center behavioral coaching (due May 1, 2026) signal demand for injury prevention and rehabilitation support but do not explicitly detail therapeutic appliance procurement. School district opportunities including Harlingen CISD's athletic strength and conditioning supplies RFP (due May 4, 2026) and Klein ISD's CTE and Advanced Academics RFP (due June 5, 2026) show no recent substantive activity specifically under this commodity code. The code shows modest recent activity and none of the recent opportunities provides explicit detail on therapeutic hot or cold therapy mitts volumes, specifications, or pricing.
