UNSPSC 42231815 Plumby Nut is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized nutritional products and related supplies, though recent state and local procurement activity shows limited direct relevance to the code's narrow designation. State and local buyers under this code include developmental centers, county health departments, and state human services agencies that purchase medical supplies, infant nutrition programs, and food commodities. The Illinois Department of Human Services (Murray Developmental Center) has solicited multiple bids for Durable Medical Equipment vendors covering enteral feeding supplies, pumps, and related nutritional support products; Michigan's Department of Health and Human Services has issued multiple RFPs for infant formula rebate program contracts serving the WIC program statewide. Work solicited includes supply, quality assurance, rebate administration, and delivery of specialized nutritional products to state facilities and authorized retail vendors, often with pricing dictated by federal fee schedules (Medicare Part B for DME, USDA nutritional standards for WIC formula).

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Illinois and Michigan, with activity also noted in Florida and Georgia. Representative opportunities include Murray Developmental Center's IFB 27444DHSDEVDIB52936 for a DME vendor to supply enteral feeding products and related equipment with a June 30, 2026 response date and contract term through June 30, 2027; and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services' RFP 260000001094 for an infant formula manufacturer to supply rebate program services over a 60-month term from November 1, 2026 through October 31, 2031, with proposal submission deadlines that ranged from April 6 to April 24, 2026. The Michigan WIC formula procurement is substantial—estimated at approximately 13,093,025 units over the contract period and structured as a no-cost or negative-cost agreement to the state, with award granted to the lowest total monthly net price bidder. Mead Johnson & Company, LLC was recommended for award in one completed WIC procurement cycle based on the lowest net price submission.
