UNSPSC 42211813 Zipper pulls for the physically challenged is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, actually encompasses broader assistive accessibility technology and home modification services rather than zipper pulls alone. The Texas Workforce Commission Vocational Rehabilitation Division has posted solicitations seeking comprehensive smart home accessibility installations, including door openers, smart lighting and outlet controls, smart deadbolts, wheelchair-accessible sink modifications, and ceiling lift systems with installation and delivery services. Issuing bodies for this code include state vocational rehabilitation agencies and related workforce-development divisions serving individuals with disabilities seeking home modifications to support independence and mobility. The work involves both equipment procurement and specialized installation labor, with vendors required to carry substantial insurance coverage (including $1,000,000 minimum commercial general liability per occurrence), maintain E-Verify enrollment, conduct three-year criminal background checks on field personnel, and comply with federal Buy America provisions.

Recent activity centers on Texas, where the Texas Workforce Commission Vocational Rehabilitation Division issued Invitation for Bids (IFB) 3202600161 in April 2026 for a single customer home modification project in Hutto, Texas (Williamson County), with a response deadline of May 11, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Central Time and a contract term running June through August 31, 2026. The solicitation permits bidders to claim Texas procurement preferences for service-disabled veteran ownership, Texas-based production, recycled-material products, energy-efficient goods, and items from economically depressed areas. No specific dollar range or budget is disclosed; all pricing must be firm with no adjustments permitted, and liquidated damages of two percent of total service costs apply for non-performance. The source shows no other recent opportunities under this code in other states or jurisdictions, suggesting limited current activity outside Texas vocational rehabilitation programs.
