UNSPSC 42211800: Dressing and grooming aids for the physically challenged

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in Dressing and grooming aid procedures.

UNSPSC 42211800 Dressing and grooming aids for the physically challenged is a Class code that encompasses assistive home modification and accessibility technology installation services purchased by state vocational rehabilitation and disability-support agencies. State and local governments under this code procure smart home access systems, wheelchair-accessible sink and bathroom modifications, ceiling lift systems, and related installation and delivery services for individual customers with mobility or physical limitations. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include state workforce and vocational rehabilitation divisions; these agencies typically procure small-scope, customer-specific home modifications rather than bulk commodity purchases, and award single-vendor contracts for defined customer populations.

Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) Vocational Rehabilitation Division represents recent activity on the code. TWC issued IFB 3202600161 in April 2026 seeking assistive accessibility technology home modification services—specifically smart home access technology (door openers, smart hubs, light switches, outlets, deadbolts), wheelchair-accessible sink and header modifications, and a 200-pound-capacity ceiling lift system with installation and delivery—for a single customer in Hutto, Texas, with bids due May 11, 2026. The contract term runs June through August 31, 2026, contingent on funding availability. Bidders must submit firm, all-inclusive pricing with no adjustments permitted; comply with E-Verify, background checks on all personnel, insurance requirements (Workers Compensation and Commercial General Liability with $1 million per-occurrence limits), and federal Build America Buy America Act provisions; and may voluntarily claim Texas preferences including service-disabled veteran ownership and products made from recycled or energy-efficient materials. No incumbent vendor is identified, and liquidated damages of two percent of total service costs apply for non-performance after a ten-day cure period.
