UNSPSC 42212204: Tube squeezers for the physically challenged

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

UNSPSC 42212204 Tube squeezers for the physically challenged is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses comprehensive home accessibility modifications and assistive technology installations rather than the narrow product category the code name suggests. State and local buyers under this code are soliciting integrated smart home systems, wheelchair-accessible fixtures, and specialized mobility equipment—including smart door openers, deadbolts, light switches, plug outlets, sink replacements, and ceiling lift systems with specified weight capacities—bundled with delivery, setup, and installation services for individual customers with mobility or access needs. The Texas Workforce Commission Vocational Rehabilitation Division is the issuing body visible in recent activity, procuring these modifications on behalf of customers enrolled in its programs.

The Texas Workforce Commission's Hutto, Texas home modification solicitation (IFB 3202600161, due May 11, 2026) represents the visible recent activity under this code. The commission issued the IFB on April 20, 2026, and later reposted it on May 11, 2026, seeking a single vendor to deliver and install smart home access technology, sink modifications, and a 200-pound-capacity ceiling lift system with firm, all-inclusive pricing through August 31, 2026. Bidders must comply with E-Verify enrollment, background checks on all personnel, Workers' Compensation and Commercial General Liability insurance ($1,000,000 per-occurrence minimum), and federal Build America Buy America Act provisions. Texas preference categories—service-disabled veteran ownership, Texas production, recycled materials, energy efficiency, and economically depressed-area sourcing—are available to qualifying bidders. No specific dollar range or set-asides are disclosed. The code shows limited recent solicitation volume; if your firm does not already serve assistive-technology and home-modification niches for state workforce or rehabilitation agencies, the narrow activity here may not justify pursuit.
