UNSPSC 42211600: Bathroom and bathing aids for the physically challenged

In this classification, this class includes products, components, accessories, and supplies utilized in bathroom and bathing aid procedures.

UNSPSC 42211600 Bathroom and bathing aids for the physically challenged is a Class code that in state and local procurement practice encompasses a broader range of mobility, communication, and daily-living aids for individuals with disabilities — including vision-impaired mobility devices, orientation and navigational aids, specialized cooking and housekeeping equipment, speech-generating devices, braille displays and embossers, gait trainers, adaptive tricycles, standing frames, and transfer and mechanical lifts. State workforce agencies, school districts, and vocational rehabilitation programs are the primary buyers. The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) Vocational Rehabilitation Division and independent school districts such as Garland ISD in the Dallas–Fort Worth region have both recently solicited under this code, reflecting demand across state rehabilitation services and K–12 special education budgets. Contracts typically run one to five years with fixed pricing and FOB-destination delivery. Vendors must carry general liability insurance of $250,000 to $1 million per occurrence, comply with E-Verify and background-check requirements, and in Texas meet mandatory subcontracting plans or veteran HUB utilization goals.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas. The Texas Workforce Commission issued IFB 3202600146 on June 3, 2026, with the same-day due date for rehabilitation supplies serving vocational rehabilitation customers across eight product categories (braille watches and clocks, vision-impaired mobility devices, specialized cooking aids, training and recreational aids, and others); the contract anticipates approximately $350,000 annually with a one-year initial term and up to four renewal options plus one extension year. Garland Independent School District posted RFP 3942604 on March 12, 2026, with a same-day 10:30 a.m. CDT deadline for special education large and small equipment (gait trainers, adaptive tricycles, standing frames, speech-generating devices, braille embossers, video magnifiers) serving 51,644 students across 71 schools; the estimated annual contract value is $50,000 with a July 1, 2026 start and automatic renewal through June 30, 2031. Both procurements require percentage discounts off catalog pricing on a firm, fixed basis and permit multiple awards.
