UNSPSC 42211604: Bath mitts for the physically challenged

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a bath mitt for the physically challenged. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 611610.

UNSPSC 42211604 Bath mitts for the physically challenged is a Commodity code that nominally addresses adaptive personal hygiene aids, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect purchases of bath mitts or related products. The four most recent opportunities posted between June and September 2026 span Cal-OSHA safety training delivery (City of Pasadena RFP), pre-qualified recreation and community services instructors (City of Milpitas RFQual), special education materials procurement (Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District IFB and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative Catalog Discount Bid), and vocational rehabilitation supplies for persons with disabilities including Braille devices, mobility aids, and orientation equipment (Texas Workforce Commission IFB). None of these solicitations seek bath mitts or bathing aids specifically. The code shows little relevant recent activity under its stated scope; the tagging mismatch suggests either systematic cataloging drift or that bath-mitt procurement at the state and local level occurs at such low volume or frequency that it does not appear in current notice streams.

Activity appears concentrated in Texas (two school-district and special-education procurement vehicles; TWC vocational rehabilitation supplies) and California (two municipal solicitations from Pasadena and Milpitas). The TWC rehabilitation-supplies IFB (3202600146, due June 3, 2026) is the closest match to adaptive personal care, spanning eight product categories for vocational rehabilitation customers including specialized cooking, housekeeping, and training aids with an estimated annual value of $350,000 over an initial one-year term with up to four renewal options, though bath mitts are not explicitly listed. Vendors must comply with VetHUB subcontracting goals of 5.28 percent, E-Verify, and HIPAA standards. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's special-education catalog bid (SPE2628, due October 1, 2026) represents a multi-vendor cooperative covering $2.65 million over two years with 99 prior awardees. Business development professionals targeting adaptive personal-care or disability-aid markets should monitor TWC and school-district procurement channels but recognize that this UNSPSC code does not currently signal active bath-mitt demand at the state and local level.
