UNSPSC 42192208 Wheelchair accessories, a Commodity code, encompasses replacement parts, components, and add-on equipment for both manual and powered wheelchairs procured by state health and human services agencies, school districts, and special-purpose centers across Texas and Illinois. State and local buyers under this code purchase discrete wheelchair components including wheels, casters, forks, stems, headrests, footrest assemblies, armrests, seatbelts, alarm systems, anti-tippers, and manufacturer-specific parts from producers such as Invacare, Therafin, and Quickie, along with specialized accessories such as fishing rod holders, gun scabbards, snow plow kits, and seat extensions for outdoor-use wheelchairs. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Illinois Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities) acquiring parts and accessories to support state-operated facilities including supported living centers, state hospitals, and mental health centers, supplemented by school districts in Texas (Garland ISD, Donna ISD) purchasing special education equipment that includes wheelchair and mobility-aid components. Most solicitations impose mandatory Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) subcontracting plans with 21.1 percent utilization goals; failure to submit compliant HUB plans results in automatic bid rejection.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posting multiple IFBs for wheelchair parts and accessories serving state supported living centers (HHS0016869 and HHS0016869V2, with bids due February 9, 2026 and April 2, 2026 respectively, covering approximately 123 to 125 line items across five NIGP classes with historical annual spending near $300,000), and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department issuing an IFB for five powered track wheelchairs with 23 specified accessories including attendant controls and specialized attachments (IFB 802-26-81094, due July 16, 2026). HHSC also posted a custom wheelchair services solicitation (HHS0016711v3, due February 17, 2026) and a broader Durable Medical Equipment Master Contract (HHS0017173, due June 2, 2026) encompassing wheelchairs as one of eleven DME categories across eleven regional service areas, with historical annual compensation near $1 million. Texas school districts issued special education equipment RFPs including Garland ISD (proposals due March 12, 2026 for large and small equipment including gait trainers and adaptive mobility aids, estimated annual value $50,000) and Donna ISD (catalog-bid RFP 011326-873 due April 8, 2026 for special education supplies and devices on a multi-year basis). Illinois representation appears limited, with a single April 2026 medical supplies procurement posted by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities for Alton Mental Health Center. Pricing is typically firm and fixed for initial contract term, with CPI-W adjustments permitted only at agency discretion; delivery is FOB destination with vendors responsible for warehouse, overtime, and restocking charges.
