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 for WIC programs, nutritional supplements for developmental centers, and specialized medical nutrition products. The scope includes milk-based and soy-based infant formulas in concentrated liquid, powdered, and ready-to-feed forms, as well as enteral feeding supplies and pumps supplied to state developmental facilities. Issuing bodies are primarily state health and human services agencies administering WIC programs and state developmental centers managing medical equipment and nutritional support for institutionalized populations. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the Illinois Department of Human Services have posted recent solicitations under this code; both are repeat buyers managing multi-year contracts with performance obligations across multiple fiscal years and service recipients.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, and Florida. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0016707 on October 14, 2026, soliciting competitive bids for infant formula rebate contracts serving WIC programs in Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, and the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, with bids due January 11, 2027 at 10:30 AM Central Time. The procurement anticipates awarding up to two contracts—one for milk-based infant formula and one for soy-based infant formula—or a single contract covering both product lines, with contract performance running October 1, 2027 through September 30, 2032 and a potential one-year extension. Contractors must demonstrate a minimum of two years of relevant formula rebate experience, comply with HUB subcontracting plan requirements and all federal WIC regulations under 7 CFR 246, and structure rebate pricing as a percentage discount applied to manufacturer's lowest national wholesale cost per unit. The Illinois Department of Human Services' Murray Developmental Center in Centralia posted two DME vendor solicitations (27444DHSDEVDIB52788 due June 10, 2026 and 27444DHSDEVDIB52936 due June 30, 2026) to supply Medicare-classified durable medical equipment including enteral feeding supplies and pumps, with contract terms through June 30, 2027 and pricing dictated by Medicare Part B fee schedules.
