UNSPSC 42211911 Food guards for the physically challenged, a Commodity code, encompasses adaptive eating and dining aids for individuals with mobility, vision, or dexterity limitations. The actual procurement activity under this code centers on rehabilitation supplies for vocational rehabilitation customers, including specialized cooking and housekeeping aids, orientation or navigational equipment for the disabled, vision-impaired mobility devices, and related adaptive equipment. The Texas Workforce Commission Vocational Rehabilitation Division issued IFB 3202600146 in June 2026, soliciting bids for eight product categories of rehabilitation supplies distributed across multiple NIGP classes, with bidders required to submit percentage discounts off catalog list prices and commit to statewide delivery on a firm fixed-price basis. Issuing bodies under this code include state vocational rehabilitation agencies and related workforce-development departments serving clients with disabilities.

The code shows activity in Texas, where the TWC IFB represents the most recent documented opportunity. The TWC solicitation required bids due June 3, 2026, at 10:00 AM Central Time, with an anticipated contract start in August 2026 and an initial one-year term plus up to four optional one-year renewals. Historical compensation for similar TWC contracts runs approximately $350,000 annually, though volume and total compensation are not guaranteed. Bidders must comply with federal and state requirements including E-Verify, HIPAA compliance, and workers' compensation insurance with minimum coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence. Texas statutes permit bidders to claim preferences for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, Texas-produced goods, and products from economically depressed areas; all bidders face mandatory VetHUB Subcontracting Plan submission with a state goal of 5.28 percent veteran-owned business utilization, and successful vendors must submit monthly Progress Assessment Reports to track compliance and expenditures.
