UNSPSC 42212113: Smokers aids for the physically challenged

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as smokers aids for the physically challenged. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 981700.

UNSPSC 42212113 Smokers aids for the physically challenged (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being procured under this code in recent state and local opportunities. The two recent solicitations tagged to this code—rehabilitation supplies for vocational rehabilitation customers from the Texas Workforce Commission and special education large and small equipment from Garland Independent School District—both cover adaptive mobility aids, specialized communication and vision devices, and accessibility equipment for individuals with disabilities, but neither mentions smoking-related aids. The code shows a substantial mismatch between its nominal scope and the actual procurement activity it captures in state and local systems.

The two opportunities span different customer populations and issuing bodies: the Texas Workforce Commission serves vocational rehabilitation clients through a statewide contract encompassing eight product categories including orientation and navigational aids, specialized cooking and housekeeping aids, vision impaired mobility devices, and training equipment with an anticipated annual value of $350,000; Garland Independent School District procures large and small equipment (gait trainers, adaptive tricycles, speech-generating devices, braille displays, embossers) for approximately 51,644 students across 71 schools with an estimated annual contract value of $50,000. Both opportunities are in Texas, both offer multiple-year terms, and both impose mandatory HUB or historically underutilized business compliance and insurance requirements. The TWC IFB (3202600146) closed June 3, 2026, with a pre-solicitation conference and written question period in late April 2026; the Garland ISD RFP (3942604) posted March 12, 2026, with the same-day response deadline already passed. The code's recent activity reflects procurement of adaptive and assistive technology for disabled and special-education populations, not the smoking-aid category its name suggests.
