UNSPSC 42142111 Therapeutic ice packs or pillows is a Commodity code that captures reusable thermal medical supplies—ice packs, heat wraps, and similar devices—used in clinical rehabilitation, athletic training, injury management, and occupational health settings. State and local governments procure these items primarily through durable medical equipment (DME) contracts serving rehabilitation programs, public safety agencies, and school districts. The issuing bodies acquiring under this code span state health and human services departments, county detention facilities, municipal fire and police departments, and independent school districts. Work solicited includes both standalone DME procurement—where therapeutic ice packs are components of broader medical equipment contracts—and embedded procurement as part of athletic training and strength and conditioning service delivery, where vendors supply equipment alongside labor.

Recent opportunities reflect activity in Texas and Arizona. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) issued RFP HHS0017173 in May 2026 seeking Master Contracts for Durable Medical Equipment and Services across eleven DME categories and eleven geographic regions statewide, with proposals due June 2, 2026; the scope encompasses positioning devices, medical equipment, and wound care supplies serving traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury rehabilitation, with a HUB set-aside at 21.1 percent utilization. Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District in Texas posted RFP ASCP0526 on May 4, 2026 (deadline May 4, 2026) for Athletic Strength and Conditioning, Powerlifting and Physical Education Supplies and Equipment, where therapeutic supports are likely embedded in the strength training equipment request. The City of Tucson issued RFP 260163 in May 2026 seeking Athletic Training Services for fire and police departments, due June 9, 2026, combining labor (certified athletic trainers) with equipment provision where ice packs and therapeutic devices represent consumable or durable components. Pinal County, Arizona's RFP for behavioral coaching at its Adult Detention Center (RFP April 2026) represents a tangential use case where therapeutic or wellness supplies may support program delivery, though the primary scope differs. The code shows no concentrated buyer base; instead, it reflects dispersed procurement across state DME programs, municipal public safety, and K–12 school districts primarily in the Southwest.
