UNSPSC 42142114 Therapeutic hot or cold therapy pants is a Commodity code that encompasses personal protective and therapeutic apparel supplied to state and local agencies, school districts, and health service programs. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include school districts, state health and human services departments, and cooperative purchasing consortia serving multiple jurisdictions. The scope of work reflects procurement of specialized medical equipment and therapeutic supplies integrated into broader DME (durable medical equipment) catalogs and special education supply programs, where thermal therapy apparel functions as one component of a multi-vendor, multi-category purchasing framework rather than as a standalone product line.

Recent activity shows the code applied across Texas and cooperative regions serving multiple states. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Kilgore, Texas) issued SPE2628, a Catalog Discount Bid for special education and supplies due October 1, 2026, estimating $2,713,541 in expenditures over two years and expecting multiple awardees across a 99-vendor previous award cohort. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued RFP HHS0017173 for Durable Medical Equipment and Services supporting the Comprehensive Rehabilitation Services program across eleven geographic service regions, with a contract ceiling of $5,000,000 over five years (through August 31, 2031) and a 21.1 percent HUB set-aside requirement; the proposal deadline was June 2, 2026. These opportunities frame the code as part of larger healthcare and educational supply procurement ecosystems rather than targeted specialty apparel solicitations, indicating that therapeutic hot or cold therapy pants compete for selection alongside other DME categories within multi-vendor master contracts and cooperative-purchasing catalogs.
