UNSPSC 42211915 Self feeders for the physically challenged is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure rehabilitation supplies and adaptive equipment for disabled populations. The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) Vocational Rehabilitation Division issued Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. 3202600146 on June 3, 2026, for rehabilitation supplies serving vocational rehabilitation customers across eight product categories including specialized cooking and housekeeping aids, vision impaired mobility devices, Braille watches and clocks, orientation and navigational aids for the disabled, training and recreational aids, check writing guides, Braille labeling materials, and blind teaching and training equipment. The procurement spans 33 line items distributed across six NIGP classes, with successful vendors required to provide statewide delivery on a firm fixed-price basis with no additional charges for delivery, handling, or fuel surcharges. Vendors must bid all line items within each NIGP class selected and provide percentage discounts off catalog list prices.

The code shows recent activity from state vocational rehabilitation agencies. The TWC procurement was the primary tracked opportunity under this code, with a bid due date of June 3, 2026, and anticipated contract start in August 2026 under a one-year initial term with options for up to four additional one-year renewals plus one extension year. Historical compensation for similar contracts is $350,000 annually, though TWC reserves the right to adjust based on available funding and makes no guarantee of volume. The procurement carries mandatory HUB subcontracting plan requirements at 5.28 percent utilization and permits bidders to claim preferences for Texas-based vendors, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, recycled or environmentally sensitive materials, energy-efficient products, and other statutory preferences under Texas Government Code. Vendors must comply with E-Verify, HIPAA, background checks, and maintain workers' compensation and commercial general liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate.
