UNSPSC 42192103 Patient chairs, a Commodity code, encompasses specialized seating equipment that state and local governments procure as part of broader furniture and medical supply programs. Recent solicitations show the code capturing patient-specific seating in healthcare and educational contexts — exam chairs in dental settings, hospital furnishings within full-line medical supply contracts, and adaptive seating within school furniture portfolios. Issuing bodies span school districts (Pinellas County Schools), state cooperative purchasing alliances (Minnesota Multigovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Alliance operating under Minnesota Department of Administration), and unnamed healthcare procurement bodies. These purchases typically occur as line items within larger, multi-category furniture or medical supply contracts rather than standalone patient-chair solicitations, reflecting how state and local agencies aggregate seating across operational functions.

Recent activity clusters in Florida and Minnesota, with Pinellas County Schools issuing a Best Value RFP (Solicitation 25JB076, due January 5, 2026) for comprehensive school furniture including specialized adaptive seating as part of a $20 million nationwide cooperative contract with a three-year initial term and two optional one-year renewals. The Minnesota Department of Administration, through MMCAP (Solicitation S1070000017226, due July 20, 2026), requested proposals from full-line medical supply distributors to serve 8,000 government members nationwide, with hospital furnishings including patient seating embedded in a $300 million collective purchasing portfolio. A third opportunity from an unnamed issuer (Solicitation RFBIS27200039, due July 31, 2026) sought dental chairs with specifications not accessible in the source record. Patient-chair procurement under this code appears tied to cooperative purchasing vehicles and bundled commodity requests rather than dedicated single-product solicitations.
