In this classification, this family includes medical equipment, components, instruments and appliances as well as accessories used in the medical treatment that is focused on the clinical nutrition of a patient.

UNSPSC 42230000 Clinical nutrition, a Family code, encompasses infant formula supply and rebate contracting, registered dietitian services for institutional menu planning and nutritional compliance, and medical nutrition support supplies including enteral feeding products and related durable medical equipment—the range of nutrition-focused goods and services state and local governments procure to support WIC programs, correctional facilities, developmental centers, and other institutions. Recent solicitations reveal work spanning multi-state formula rebate contracts with volume-based pricing structures, specialized consultant services for large institutional food operations, and vendor relationships for ongoing supply of medical nutrition and DME products. State agencies, correctional departments, developmental centers, and county governments are the primary issuing bodies, with repeat activity from Illinois developmental centers and multi-state health agencies managing nutrition programs across hundreds or thousands of daily meals and participants.

The code sees recent activity across Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, Utah, Illinois, and Florida.
