UNSPSC 42192214 Wheelchair lifts, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of powered wheelchairs, standard wheelchairs, wheelchair components and parts, and related mobility-assistance equipment and services for state health and human services agencies, school districts, and specialized state facilities. State and local governments buy powered all-terrain wheelchairs (such as track chairs for outdoor recreation), custom wheelchair evaluation and fitting services, durable medical equipment including positioning and mobility devices, and replacement parts and accessories (wheels, casters, footrests, armrests, headrests, seat covers, cushions, and anti-tippers) to support individuals with mobility limitations across supported living centers, state hospitals, mental health facilities, and school special education programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly Texas state agencies—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) placing multiple recurring solicitations for wheelchair parts and custom wheelchair services to serve State Supported Living Centers and State Hospitals—alongside school districts (Donna ISD, Garland ISD) procuring special education equipment and one Illinois state mental health facility. HHSC appears to be the most active repeat buyer under this code, with at least four separate IFB and RFP opportunities since February 2026.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, where HHSC has issued overlapping solicitations for wheelchair components, custom wheelchair services at Denton State Supported Living Center, and comprehensive durable medical equipment across eleven service regions serving traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury populations. Recent opportunities include the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's July 2026 IFB for five powered track wheelchairs with fishing and snow-removal accessories (due July 16, 2026), HHSC's custom wheelchair and parts procurement for Denton State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0016711v3, due February 17, 2026 at $150,000 historical value for FY 2025), HHSC's wheelchair parts and walker IFB (HHS0016869v2, due April 2, 2026 with $300,000 historical value for FY 2025), and HHSC's five-year master contract RFP for durable medical equipment across eleven categories and regions (HHS0017173, due June 2, 2026 with $1,000,000 annual value and $5,000,000 contract ceiling). Texas school districts issued RFPs for special education equipment catalogs and tailored large/small equipment packages in March and April 2026. All HHSC procurements impose a mandatory 21.1 percent Historically Underutilized Business subcontracting utilization goal with material non-compliance resulting in disqualification.
