UNSPSC 42143715: Light therapy box or lamp

Lamps or light boxes used to administer artificial light for sleep and mood disorders.

UNSPSC 42143715 Light therapy box or lamp is a Commodity code representing medical devices and wellness equipment that state and local governments procure through cooperative purchasing agreements and direct agency contracts. Recent solicitations show light therapy equipment appearing as part of broader durable medical equipment (DME) and special education supplies catalogs rather than as standalone procurements. The issuing bodies reflect a mix of state health and human services agencies, regional purchasing cooperatives serving school districts and public entities, and municipal governments. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is an active buyer under related DME codes, issuing Master Contracts serving individuals with traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries across eleven geographic service regions with contract values not to exceed $5,000,000 over the term. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Kilgore, Texas, procures special education and supplies through multi-vendor catalog discount agreements serving member school districts and public organizations, with estimated two-year expenditures of $2,713,541 and prior awards encompassing 99 vendors.

Recent activity centers on Texas, with the most concrete opportunity being Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's Catalog Discount Bid SPE2628 for special education supplies (due October 1, 2026), which establishes framework pricing for cooperative members to purchase from multiple awarded vendors. The Texas HHSC DME procurement (HHS0017173, due June 2, 2026) explicitly encompasses biofeedback devices and assistive technology products across medical equipment categories, with a 21.1 percent HUB utilization set-aside and required insurance minimums of $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 depending on coverage type. Light therapy equipment, if procured under this code, typically enters state and local pipelines as part of special education catalogs, rehabilitation services frameworks, or employee wellness programs rather than as dedicated line items. Vendors pursuing this code should position offerings within cooperative purchasing vehicles and state agency DME master agreements rather than anticipating standalone city or county RFPs for light therapy devices alone.
