UNSPSC 42212002: Key turners or holders for the physically challenged

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as key turners for the physically challenged. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 392490.

UNSPSC 42212002 Key turners or holders for the physically challenged (Commodity) encompasses adaptive hardware and specialized equipment for mobility, orientation, and independent living activities purchased by state agencies and regional cooperative purchasing consortia serving schools and rehabilitation programs. The code captures a narrow product family — primarily adaptive door hardware, grab bars, lever-type door and faucet handles designed for limited grip strength or dexterity, and related equipment — but recent state and local solicitations broaden scope to include the full ecosystem of rehabilitation and special education supplies that accompany these devices. State and local buyers under this code include vocational rehabilitation divisions, special education cooperatives, and workforce agencies procuring on behalf of customers with disabilities. The Texas Workforce Commission Vocational Rehabilitation Division and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (serving member school districts and institutions across its footprint) are the principal recent issuing bodies.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, where the Vocational Rehabilitation Division's Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. 3202600146 seeks rehabilitation supplies across eight product categories—Braille watches, orientation aids, specialized cooking and housekeeping equipment, mobility devices for vision-impaired users, training aids, and labeling materials—with bids due June 3, 2026, and contract start anticipated for August 2026. The Texas Workforce Commission estimates annual compensation near $350,000 with an initial one-year term renewable for up to four additional years. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative issued Catalog Discount Bid SPE2628 on August 24, 2026, for multi-vendor supply of special education and supplies across its membership, with estimated expenditures of $2,713,541 over two years and response due October 1, 2026; the previous award supported 99 concurrent vendors. Both solicitations require FOB Destination delivery, accept percentage discounts off catalog pricing, mandate compliance with Texas Veteran HUB subcontracting goals, and carry workers' compensation and commercial general liability insurance thresholds at or above $1,000,000 per occurrence.
