Jumbo clocks, alarms and talking watches used to assist with time management.

UNSPSC 42211717 Clocks or watches for the physically challenged is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure assistive timepieces and related vision-assistance devices for disabled populations, particularly those served through vocational rehabilitation and workforce programs. The scope extends beyond clocks and watches to encompass a broader family of rehabilitation supplies including orientation and navigational aids, mobility devices for the vision impaired, and specialized training and recreational equipment. State agencies dominate this code, with the Texas Workforce Commission issuing recent solicitations that bundle assistive timepieces alongside complementary disability aids under consolidated rehabilitation-supply contracts.

The Texas Workforce Commission Vocational Rehabilitation Division posted an Invitation for Bids (IFB No. 3202600146) on June 3, 2026, with a due date of June 3, 2026, for rehabilitation supplies including Braille watches and clocks as one of eight product categories. The procurement encompasses 33 line items with an anticipated contract value of $350,000 annually and an initial one-year term plus up to four optional one-year renewals. Bidders must submit percentage discounts off catalog list prices with firm fixed pricing statewide; mandatory pass/fail VetHUB subcontracting compliance at 5.28 percent utilization is required, and vendors claiming Texas preferences (including service-disabled veteran-owned business status) are eligible. The contract mandates HIPAA compliance, E-Verify, and commercial general liability insurance with minimum $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate coverage, with contract commencement anticipated for August 2026.
