UNSPSC 42192209 Wheelchair ramps, a Commodity code, encompasses the procurement of mobility access equipment and related services by state and local governments, though recent solicitations under this code show substantial divergence from the nominal scope. State and local buyers are soliciting powered track wheelchairs with accessories, custom wheelchair fabrication and fitting services, durable medical equipment (DME) including positioning devices and wheelchairs, wheelchair parts and components, and physical ADA accessibility renovations—work that spans equipment supply, clinical assessment and modification services, and construction. The issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state parks divisions, county and municipal housing authorities, independent school districts, and specialized social service agencies. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple solicitations under this code for wheelchair parts, custom wheelchair services at state-supported living centers, and comprehensive DME master contracts serving individuals with traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries across eleven geographic service regions statewide.

The code shows greatest recent activity in Texas, where HHSC has issued at least four separate IFBs and RFPs since February 2026, including wheelchair parts (IFB HHS0016869 and HHS0016869V2), custom wheelchair services at Denton State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0016711V3), and a master DME contract for rehabilitation services (RFP HHS0017173). Outside Texas, the Housing Authority of the City of Alameda (California) solicited ADA accessibility construction at Parrot Gardens office (RFP, May 1 deadline), Family & Children's Aid in Connecticut issued an ITB for handicap ramp reconstruction at Harmony House in Fairfield County (ITB, June 12 deadline), Garland Independent School District (Texas) requested special education large and small equipment including gait trainers and standing frames (RFP, March 12 deadline), and Donna Independent School District (Texas) sought special education supplies on a catalog-discount basis (RFP, April 8 deadline). The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department State Parks Division issued an IFB for five powered track wheelchairs with specialized accessories such as fishing rod holders and snow plow kits (IFB 802-26-81094, due July 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time). Recent Texas procurements carry HUB utilization goals of 21.1 percent with mandatory subcontracting plan submissions, and historical annual spending under similar HHSC contracts ranges from $150,000 to $300,000 per fiscal year for parts and custom services, with the comprehensive DME master contract not to exceed $5 million cumulative over a five-year term.
