UNSPSC 42191801: Overbed tables

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a small movable table that can be positioned so as to cover a portion of a bed in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 940290.

UNSPSC 42191801 Overbed tables, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally encompasses furniture for patient care environments, but recent opportunities posted under this classification predominantly reflect medical services, durable medical equipment procurement, and specialty therapeutic devices rather than overbed tables or related bedside furniture. State and local purchasing entities posting under the code include departments of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (San Mateo Medical Center), state educational institutions (South Dakota Board of Regents), and health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC). The Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance services RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and San Mateo Medical Center's specialty therapeutic bed rental services RFP (660002526254, due July 27, 2026) are representative, but neither solicits overbed tables; the South Dakota Board of Regents IFB for residence hall mattresses (26IFB19840, due June 30, 2026) represents commodity furniture procurement but targets dormitory mattresses with flammability compliance, not patient-care overbed tables.

The geographic spread of recent activity covers Washington, California, South Dakota, and Texas, with a broader multistate cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment, due June 16, 2026) extending reach across participating U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions. The code shows little recent activity specifically for overbed tables; procurement professionals should verify whether state and local buyers are classifying bedside furniture under alternative UNSPSC codes, or whether the code reflects outdated taxonomy mapping that does not match contemporary healthcare facility purchasing patterns. No clear pipeline of overbed table solicitations is evident in recent postings under this code.
