UNSPSC 42231800: Formulas and products for nutritional support

In this classification, this class includes products, components, accessories, and supplies utilized in formulas and products for nutritional procedures.

UNSPSC 42231800 Formulas and products for nutritional support is a Class code under which state and local governments procure infant formula, durable medical equipment supplies including enteral feeding products, and miscellaneous nutritional groceries. Recent solicitations show the code spanning infant formula rebate contracts managed by state health departments, medical supply vendors serving developmental centers and institutional facilities, and supplemental food purchases by county departments. The mix of issuing bodies includes state health and human services departments (Michigan, Illinois), county boards of commissioners and developmental facilities, and specialized procurement divisions. Work being solicited ranges from dedicated infant formula rebate management and supply to bundled DME vendor contracts covering enteral feeding pumps and supplies as a subset of broader Medicare-compliant equipment provision, to one-off supplemental grocery sourcing for county facilities including frozen and canned food items.

Michigan's Department of Health and Human Services has been the dominant repeat buyer, issuing multiple RFPs for the WIC Infant Formula Rebate Program (solicitations posted February 17, March 17, March 24, and April 17, 2026, with response deadlines in early April 2026), seeking a single manufacturer to supply milk-based and soy-based infant formula in powder, liquid concentrate, and ready-to-feed forms across 83 counties serving approximately 41,100 infants over a 60-month period starting November 1, 2026. Illinois' Murray Developmental Center in Centralia solicited DME vendors twice in early June 2026 (IB 27444DHSDEVDIB52788 due June 10, 2026, and IB 27444DHSDEVDIB52936 due June 30, 2026) to supply all Medicare DME classifications including enteral feeding supplies at Medicare Part B fee-schedule pricing. Gwinnett County, Georgia posted an IB (BL048-26) on March 26, 2026, due May 6, 2026, for supplemental groceries including frozen pies, beverages, and prepared foods to three county locations. Pasco County, Florida solicited large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate as an RFQ posted June 3, 2026, due June 26, 2026 — unrelated to nutritional support and showing a code-to-content mismatch. Geographic activity centers on Michigan and Illinois, with additional activity in Georgia and Florida.
