UNSPSC 42211606 Commodes for the physically challenged is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure mobility aids, adaptive equipment, and assistive technology serving students with disabilities and vocational rehabilitation customers. Recent solicitations reflect a broad scope spanning large equipment such as gait trainers, standing frames, mechanical and transfer lifts, and changing tables, alongside small assistive devices including speech-generating systems, video magnifiers, Braille displays and embossers, and orientation aids for vision-impaired users. The issuing bodies include independent school districts serving large student populations and state vocational rehabilitation agencies; school districts appear to be primary buyers in the recent record, though state workforce agencies also conduct substantial procurement under related commodity codes for rehabilitation supplies.

Garland Independent School District issued an RFP (Solicitation 3942604) in March 2026 for special education large and small equipment with an estimated annual contract value of $50,000 and a response deadline of March 12, 2026. The Texas Workforce Commission Vocational Rehabilitation Division posted an IFB (No. 3202600146) in June 2026 for rehabilitation supplies across eight product categories serving vocational rehabilitation customers, with a June 3, 2026 bid deadline and historical annual compensation of $350,000. Both procurements operated under FOB Destination terms, required liability insurance in the $250,000–$1,000,000 range, and imposed compliance requirements including debarment verification and domestic-content or subcontracting goals. Activity under this code is concentrated in Texas, with both recent opportunities sourced from Texas school districts and state agencies. The TWC solicitation explicitly referenced the VetHUB Subcontracting Plan requirement with a 5.28 percent utilization goal, while Garland ISD evaluated proposals against historically underutilized business criteria, signaling set-aside or preference considerations in both jurisdictions.
