UNSPSC 42142742: Urine and fecal incontinence sensor

This commodity code it to identify a product that in part of an incontinence brief/underwear or clips to the brief or underwear that indicates if the patient has had an accident (urinated or defecated) in their underwear or brief. The sensor sends a notification to a tablet or central computer letting the caregiver know the patient has urinated or defecated. This product is usually used in a medical setting like a hospital or long-term care facility.

UNSPSC 42142742 Urine and fecal incontinence sensor is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity reflected in recent solicitation records. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017603 on July 15, 2026, for medical supplies and equipment including gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, catheters, and feeding tubes for the Abilene State Supported Living Center with a response deadline of July 30, 2026—a general medical supply procurement unrelated to incontinence sensors. The remaining recent opportunities on record span underground utility locating for Pasco County Utilities, travel sprinkler irrigation equipment for the City of Richardson, law enforcement equipment for Sourcewell cooperative purchasing entities, irrigation system mainline upgrades for Valencia College, and debris removal services for Fairfax County, Virginia—none of which involve incontinence sensing devices or related urinary or fecal management equipment. The code shows no recent activity among state departments, counties, cities, school districts, transit authorities, or special-purpose districts that matches the product category it nominally describes.

No state or local procurement activity under UNSPSC 42142742 appears in the most recent solicitation records. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either minimal current demand for incontinence sensors in state and local markets or systematic misclassification of opportunities posted under this code. Firms evaluating this code should verify issuing-body classification practices before investing business development resources.
