UNSPSC 42192408: Bedpan carriers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as cart that carries bedpans in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 940290.

UNSPSC 42192408 Bedpan carriers (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement that directly aligns with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code include miscellaneous campus maintenance supplies for a Texas state supported living center, occupational medical surveillance services for Washington State Ferries, pharmacy benefit management services for Collier County, emergency medical supplies for DeKalb County Fire Rescue, a medication dispensing smart cart for a SUNY community college, and a cooperative law enforcement equipment procurement through Sourcewell. Of these, only the DeKalb County emergency medical supplies bid and the Texas HHS miscellaneous supplies solicitation involve medical equipment or supplies that might tangentially relate to hospital or care facility operations, but neither specifically names bedpans or bedpan carriers as line items.

The issuing bodies span state health agencies (Texas HHS), state transportation authorities (Washington State Ferries), county governments (Collier County, DeKalb County), a SUNY college, and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell). Geographic activity is scattered across Texas, Washington, Florida, Georgia, and multi-state cooperative initiatives. The most concrete recent opportunity is the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017729 (due September 14, 2026) for miscellaneous maintenance and parts supplies to the Denton State Supported Living Center, which included 18 line items across categories like safety equipment and facility furnishings but did not explicitly specify bedpans or bedpan carriers. This code presents limited actionable procurement activity for vendors focused on bedpan carriers and related medical transport equipment; current state and local demand under this code designation is not clearly supported by the recent solicitation record.
