UNSPSC 42143901: Fecal incontinence collection bags

UNSPSC 42143901 Fecal incontinence collection bags is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to the code's scope. The most recent opportunities posted under this code are irrigation system upgrades, medical surveillance services, irrigation equipment purchases, and utility locating services—none of which involve fecal incontinence collection bags or related continence-care products. The Georgia World Congress Center Authority's RFP for Calsense Irrigation Controller Upgrades (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), and the City of Richardson's ITB for traveling sprinkler irrigation equipment (due June 11, 2026) illustrate the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what state and local jurisdictions are actually purchasing under this classification. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for medical supplies and equipment at the Abilene State Supported Living Center (due July 30, 2026) comes closer to medical consumables, but focuses on gastrostomy tubes, catheters, IV stabilization, and SpO2 sensors rather than continence products.

The code shows activity across multiple states—Georgia, Washington, Florida, Texas, and Minnesota—but the opportunities are concentrated in infrastructure, occupational health, and irrigation rather than continence care. No repeat issuing bodies appear in the recent-opportunity block under this code. State and local procurement offices do not appear to be tagging continence-product purchases under UNSPSC 42143901 in current solicitations. A firm evaluating this code should verify the actual classification used by target customers for fecal incontinence collection bags, as the taxonomy mismatch suggests the code may not be the relevant entry point for sourcing activity in this product category.
