UNSPSC 42230000: Clinical nutrition

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 is a Family code that encompasses durable medical equipment (DME), enteral feeding supplies and pumps, infant formula, medical supplies, and related nutritional products that state and local governments procure for institutional facilities, developmental centers, and public health programs. Recent state and local opportunities under this code reflect purchases by developmental centers, state health departments, and county facilities seeking vendors to supply specialized feeding equipment, mobility aids, respiratory devices, and formula products—often priced against Medicare fee schedules or managed through rebate-based contracting models. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include state health and human services departments (Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota), county governments (Pasco County, Gwinnett County), and specialized state institutions (Murray Developmental Center in Illinois). The code also captures supplemental grocery procurement for county facilities and vendor management of statewide public benefit programs like WIC infant formula distribution.

Recent activity concentrates in Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota, with secondary activity in Florida and Georgia. Representative solicitations include Murray Developmental Center (Illinois Department of Human Services) issuing two IFBs for DME vendors with response dates of June 10 and June 30, 2026, seeking Medicare-certified suppliers of enteral products, ostomy supplies, respiratory equipment, and mobility aids under Medicare Part B fee schedule pricing; the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services issuing multiple RFPs (most recently posted February 17, 2026, with April 6, 2026 response deadline) for an infant formula manufacturer to manage the WIC Infant Formula Rebate Program serving approximately 41,100 infants across 83 counties over a 60-month term; and the Minnesota Office of State Procurement issuing an RFP through the MMCAP cooperative purchasing consortium (posted June 11, 2026, response due July 20, 2026) for medical supplies with responses submitted directly to MMCAP rather than to the state procurement office. Contracts often require Medicare certification, commercial general liability insurance ($1 million minimum per occurrence), compliance with federal food and drug regulations, and acceptance of state standard certifications covering tax compliance, drug-free workplace, and cybersecurity standards.
