UNSPSC 42191807 Patient care beds for general use (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity under this code. Of the five recent state and local opportunities tagged with this Commodity code, only one—San Mateo Medical Center's Specialty Therapeutic Bed Rental Services (RFP 660002526254, due July 27, 2026)—directly addresses therapeutic bed rental for acute-care hospital patients. The remaining four solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Ferries), residence hall mattresses (South Dakota Board of Regents), durable medical equipment and services across multiple categories (Texas HHSC), and law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative). These represent significant tag mismatches with the code's nominal scope and do not reflect actual procurement demand for patient care beds.

The one representative opportunity is San Mateo Medical Center's request for specialty therapeutic bed rental services including delivery, setup, maintenance, and retrieval within the San Francisco Bay Area, with a five-year contract term and local-business preferential consideration of 5 to 10 percent. Evaluation weighs project approach (30 points), firm qualifications (25 points), team qualifications (20 points), and price (25 points). Contractors must meet HIPAA Business Associate requirements, Section 504 Rehabilitation Act compliance, San Mateo County's Living Wage Ordinance ($17.00 per hour), and fingerprinting for employees with contact to vulnerable populations. The narrow volume of relevant recent solicitations under this code, combined with widespread tag misalignment, suggests the code sees infrequent state and local procurement activity for patient care beds themselves and that major health systems and counties are tagging therapeutic-bed and medical-equipment purchases under broader or alternative UNSPSC families.
