UNSPSC 42191820 Pediatric positioners is a Commodity code that covers specialized medical positioning and support devices for pediatric patients, though recent state and local solicitations show little direct purchasing activity under this specific code. Instead, state procurement offices are acquiring broader medical supplies and equipment categories that may include pediatric devices as subordinate line items within larger blanket purchase agreements. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) issued IFB HHS0017603 in July 2026 for medical supplies and equipment serving the Abilene State Supported Living Center, including gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV stabilization devices, catheters, and related accessories from vendors including Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, and Becton Dickinson — line items that may serve pediatric populations but are not itemized separately as pediatric-specific positioners. State health and human services agencies appear to be the primary issuing bodies under this code, pursuing these acquisitions through IFB and blanket purchase agreement structures with firm fixed pricing and annual contract terms.

Recent solicitation activity under this code is concentrated in Texas, with the HHSC Abilene procurement representing the most recent documented state-local opportunity. A separate Nevada Highway Patrol phlebotomy services RFP (65DPSS3766, due April 1, 2026) shows mismatch with the code's nominal scope and does not reflect genuine pediatric positioning demand. The HHSC procurement is structured as a blanket purchase agreement running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with optional one-year extension, firm fixed unit pricing from a price sheet, and estimated quantities of one unit per line item with adjustments permitted based on CPI or Federal Minimum Wage increases. The code shows limited recent activity targeting pediatric positioners explicitly; acquisition patterns favor broader medical supply categories aggregating multiple device types within single solicitations rather than standalone pediatric positioning equipment.
