UNSPSC 42211502 Crutches is a Commodity code that in current state and local procurement activity encompasses assistive accessibility technology and home modification services, including smart home access systems, wheelchair-accessible sink installations, ceiling lift equipment, and related delivery and setup work. The Texas Workforce Commission Vocational Rehabilitation Division is the primary issuing body represented in recent activity, procuring these services to support individual customer independence and mobility within residential settings. The scope diverges notably from the code's nominal name — state and local buyers are using this code to tag comprehensive home accessibility packages rather than mobility aids alone, reflecting how jurisdictions sometimes map complex assistive-living procurement to the nearest available taxonomy entry.

The Texas Workforce Commission issued IFB 3202600161 in April 2026, due May 11, 2026, to procure smart home access technology (door openers, smart hubs, light switches, plug outlets, deadbolts), wheelchair-accessible sink modifications, a 200-pound-capacity ceiling lift system with motor and railing, and delivery and installation services for a customer in Hutto, Texas. The procurement requires firm, all-inclusive pricing with no price adjustments, submission of multiple forms including cost sheets and financial questionnaires, and compliance with insurance, E-Verify, background check, and Build America Buy America Act requirements. Bidders may claim Texas procurement preferences for service-disabled veteran ownership, Texas-based production, or environmental sustainability. The contract term runs June through August 31, 2026, contingent on funding availability, with liquidated damages of two percent assessed for non-performance. No budget range or award value is disclosed in the solicitation materials.
