UNSPSC 42192212: Patient transfer mats or sheets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as the mats or sheets accommodating a board with grips allowing for the shifting or transporting patients between surfaces in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 300590.

UNSPSC 42192212 Patient transfer mats or sheets, a Commodity code, comprises specialized patient mobility and handling equipment that state and local government health and human services agencies procure for long-term care facilities, community health programs, and emergency-response operations. The code encompasses wheeled mobility devices, foam or rubberized transfer mats, beach access mats, and related patient positioning and transport aids. State and local buyers under this code include health and human services departments operating state-supported living centers and developmental disability facilities, county parks and community resources divisions, and highway safety agencies supporting emergency medical operations. The procurements typically specify manufacturer brands and model numbers, with contracts structured as blanket purchase agreements or firm fixed-price arrangements over one-year terms.

Recent activity spans Texas and California. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017603 on July 15, 2026, requesting medical supplies and equipment for the Abilene State Supported Living Center with a bid due date of July 30, 2026, though the summary lists nine line items focused on gastrostomy feeding tubes, IV devices, and catheters rather than transfer mats specifically. The County of Orange, OC Community Resources, posted IFB IFB0123071801EB on June 29, 2026, for three TERRAWHEELS beach wheelchairs and ten ACCESSMAT beach access mat configurations (6-foot square through 6-foot by 50-foot units) to be delivered to Dana Point, California; the bid due date of June 4, 2026, predates the posting date, suggesting closure or administrative error. A Nevada State Highway Patrol phlebotomy-services RFP (65DPSS3766, posted March 18, 2026, due April 1, 2026) appears unrelated to the code's nominal scope. Recent state and local contracting under the code shows limited volume and fragmented geographic activity.
