UNSPSC 42211610 Shower or bath chairs or seats for the physically challenged is a Commodity code capturing adaptive seating and bathing equipment that state and local governments procure for special-education and human-services populations. In practice, the code anchors a broader procurement of assistive-technology and adaptive equipment for students with disabilities, including mobility aids, transfer equipment, communication devices, and specialized furniture. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts serving students with physical or developmental disabilities; the scope of recent solicitations shows that districts are buying not isolated shower chairs but full suites of large equipment (gait trainers, standing frames, mechanical lifts, transfer lifts, changing tables) and small equipment (speech-generating devices, RFID communication devices, video magnifiers, braille displays) in relatively modest quantities per item.

Garland Independent School District in Texas posted the most recent relevant opportunity on March 12, 2026 — a same-day RFP for special education large and small equipment serving 51,644 students across 71 schools in the Garland, Rowlett, and Sachse area, with an estimated annual contract value of $50,000 and automatic renewal for four additional years. The district weighted evaluation on purchase price (40 points), quality of goods and services (27 points), extent of offerings meeting needs (20 points), vendor reputation (10 points), past relationship (3 points), and compliance with historically underutilized business regulations. Multiple awards were anticipated, and the district required $250,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence general liability insurance with $1 million aggregate, Buy America Act compliance with 51 percent domestic component costs, and FOB-destination delivery with freight prepaid and same-day unload on weekdays between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Price was fixed for one year from award; subsequent increases required approval and could not exceed the Consumer Price Index.
