UNSPSC 42192302 Clinical hydraulic lifts is a Commodity code covering the procurement and maintenance of patient-lifting equipment and related accessibility devices by state and local health agencies, veterans' facilities, rehabilitation services programs, and workforce authorities.

The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas serves as a multi-vendor aggregator for member school districts and other public entities; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Workforce Commission drive significant state-level demand; and the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs procures specialized lift maintenance for facility-based care.
