UNSPSC 42211909 Drink holders for the physically challenged is a Commodity code that covers adaptive beverage-containment aids for individuals with mobility, dexterity, or vision impairments. Recent state and local solicitations show procurement of specialized drinking devices, holders, and related assistive equipment integrated with broader rehabilitation-supplies packages rather than as standalone items. Issuing bodies under this code include state vocational rehabilitation divisions and state workforce agencies procuring supplies for customers with disabilities enrolled in employment training and community integration programs. The work encompasses product supply contracts on a catalog-discount or line-item basis, with vendors expected to maintain stock, manage statewide or multi-jurisdictional distribution, and comply with HIPAA, non-discrimination, E-Verify, and workers' compensation requirements typical of state human-services procurement.

The Texas Workforce Commission Vocational Rehabilitation Division posted IFB No. 3202600146 on June 3, 2026, for rehabilitation supplies serving vocational rehabilitation customers, with a response due date of June 3, 2026, and bids closing at 10:00 AM Central Time. The solicitation encompasses eight product categories distributed across 33 line items, including drink holders alongside Braille watches, orientation aids for the disabled, cooking and housekeeping aids, and mobility devices for vision-impaired users. The procurement requires percentage-discount pricing off catalog list prices, firm-fixed statewide delivery on FOB Destination terms with no fuel or handling surcharges, and the initial contract term runs one year with TWC holding the option to renew for up to four additional one-year terms. Historical compensation for similar contracts is $350,000 annually. The contract imposes mandatory pass/fail Veteran HUB subcontracting compliance with a 5.28 percent utilization goal, and bidders must submit a VetHUB Subcontracting Plan regardless of certification status. Texas-based bidders may claim preferences for goods produced or services offered by Texas vendors, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, and environmentally sensitive or energy-efficient products.
