UNSPSC 42231900: Breast feeding equipment and accessories and supplies

In this classification, this class includes, equipment, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in Breast feeding equipment and accessories based medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42231900 Breast feeding equipment and accessories and supplies, a Class code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged to it. The most recent opportunities posted under this code span ambulatory infusion pumps, durable medical equipment (wheelchairs, orthotics, prosthetics, respiratory supplies), gastrostomy and enteral feeding tubes, IV equipment, comprehensive medical-supply master agreements, infusion-center management services, and law-enforcement equipment—none of which fall within breast feeding equipment and accessories scope. The mismatch suggests either systematic tagging error or mission creep in how issuing bodies are classifying medical-supply and equipment procurements. State and local buyers show substantial and active demand for medical supplies and durable medical equipment; the code itself shows little recent relevant activity.

The geographic and issuing-body footprint across the mistagged opportunities spans state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, California DHCS), cooperative purchasing vehicles (NASPO ValuePoint administered by South Dakota, MMCAP administered by Minnesota, Sourcewell in Minnesota), and institutional health systems (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio). Representative recent opportunities include MMCAP RFP 37259 for full-line medical supplies and equipment distributors due July 20, 2026, serving approximately 8,000 member governments across the United States with $300 million in annual collective purchasing power; Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017603 for medical supplies and small tools at the Abilene State Supported Living Center due July 30, 2026; and HHSC RFP HHS0017173 for Durable Medical Equipment and Services across eleven geographic regions in Texas due June 2, 2026, with a 21.1 percent Texas HUB set-aside. Vendors pursuing actual breast feeding equipment and supplies should not rely on this code to identify relevant state and local opportunities; recoding or clarification from issuing bodies is warranted before bid planning proceeds.
