UNSPSC 42192216: Wheelchair cushions

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 611030.

UNSPSC 42192216 Wheelchair cushions is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not align with wheelchair cushion procurement — instead, they reflect municipal purchases of emergency medical services equipment and parts, including ambulance maintenance and repair services, Stryker stretchers and stairchairs, and Ferno stairchair replacement parts. The actual work being solicited under this code tag spans comprehensive EMS vehicle fleet maintenance (preventative inspections, collision repair, electrical and HVAC system service, oxygen system work, and 24/7 emergency support), single-source acquisition of Stryker medical equipment with parts and warranty coverage, and competitive purchasing of specialized EMS equipment components. Issuing bodies include municipal fire and rescue departments paired with city fleet services and public works offices, indicating that healthcare delivery and emergency response agencies drive demand for this equipment category.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and South, with activity in Atlanta, Tampa, and Dallas. The City of Atlanta Department of Public Works and Atlanta Fire Rescue posted a comprehensive EMS vehicle repair and maintenance RFQ (SOQ/GS/DPW/2604-1260186) with a response deadline of May 29, 2026, seeking technicians with three years' minimum experience and factory authorization for ambulance and specialized transport equipment. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue initiated a single-source procurement (26X00312) for Stryker stretchers, parts, and maintenance services requiring authorized distributor status and comprehensive insurance coverage. The City of Dallas issued an Informal Solicitation (IFSDFDB2500017) for Ferno Stairchair Parts with a January 27, 2026 quote deadline, requiring new equipment in original packaging delivered FOB to a specified Dallas address. The mismatch between the wheelchair cushion code name and the emergency medical transport equipment actually being procured suggests the code assignment may not reflect the intended commodity category or that state and local tagging practices have applied this code broadly to EMS equipment families.
