UNSPSC 42211622 Commode accessories for the physically challenged is a Commodity code that describes mobility and accessibility equipment components — specifically wheelchair parts, walkers, shower chairs, and related seating and transfer aids — procured by state health agencies, school districts, and supported-living facilities to serve individuals with mobility impairments and traumatic injuries. State and local governments buy replacement components and assemblies (wheels, casters, armrests, footrests, headrests, seatbelts, anti-tippers, and structural hardware) from equipment manufacturers and distributors under standing contracts with annual spending in the low hundreds of thousands of dollars. The primary issuing bodies are state health and human services departments purchasing for state-supported living centers and rehabilitation programs, and school districts procuring adaptive equipment for special education populations. Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat buyer, soliciting wheelchair components and mobility aids through multiple competitive sealed bids and master-contract frameworks.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, where the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016869v2 for wheelchair parts, walkers, and shower chairs (response deadline April 2, 2026, with historical annual value of $300,000), and a master-contract RFP HHS0017173 for Durable Medical Equipment and Services across eleven categories and geographic regions supporting individuals with traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries (response deadline June 2, 2026, with cumulative contract value capped at $5 million over five years). Garland Independent School District in Texas solicited special education large and small equipment including gait trainers, standing frames, and mechanical lifts with estimated annual value of $50,000 (response deadline March 12, 2026). Both Texas HHSC solicitations include mandatory Historically Underutilized Business subcontracting plans with a 21.1 percent HUB utilization goal. Vendors must hold current medical device manufacturer or distributor licenses under Texas law, maintain insurance with limits of $1 million to $2 million depending on coverage type, and comply with Medicare DMEPOS quality standards and pricing constraints where applicable.
