UNSPSC 42142204: Hydrotherapy bath chairs

UNSPSC 42142204 Hydrotherapy bath chairs, a Commodity code, encompasses equipment and furnishings for therapeutic and rehabilitation settings, though recent state and local solicitations show a broader pattern of equipment procurement spanning outpatient facilities, rehabilitation systems, and institutional supplies that do not consistently align with the code's narrow hydrotherapy focus. The issuing bodies include state health departments (California), higher education institutions (Lamar University in Texas), cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington county governments and broader public entities), and school districts (Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District in Texas). Recent opportunities span furniture procurement for outpatient clinical settings, specialized rehabilitation equipment including computerized dynamic posturography systems with virtual reality integration, law enforcement and athletic supplies through cooperative frameworks, and institutional athletic and conditioning equipment — a mix suggesting that the code captures a range of durable medical and institutional goods beyond hydrotherapy bath chairs alone.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southwest and broader public sector, with solicitations posted between May and September 2026. The State of California issued RFB-IS-27200168 on September 28, 2026, seeking outpatient building furniture with a response deadline of October 6, 2026, under a Certified Business Enterprise framework; Lamar University in Texas posted IFB 734-05202026-AS on June 18, 2026, for a Computerized Dynamic Posturography and Motion Rehabilitation Simulator System; Sourcewell issued RFP 061626 on May 12, 2026, to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting vehicle for participating entities across Washington state and beyond, with proposals due June 16, 2026; and Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District posted RFP ASCP0526 on May 4, 2026, for athletic strength and conditioning supplies. The code shows recent bidding activity but with inconsistent mapping between the nominal commodity (hydrotherapy bath chairs) and the equipment and institutional goods actually being procured.
