UNSPSC 42231901: Breast pumps

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a breast pump in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Breast pumps under 21 CFR 884.5150 and under FDA product code HGX. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 841381.

UNSPSC 42231901 Breast pumps (Commodity) represents a specialized medical device category that state and local governments acquire primarily through Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) programs and public health agencies. Recent solicitations show procurement of both electric and manual pumps, accessories, sterile milk collection kits, and associated technical support and customer service. Issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services departments, including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), Georgia Department of Public Health, and Texas Department of State Health Services, along with university health systems and safety-net clinics. All recent WIC-related procurements include mandatory Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) subcontracting plans with statewide utilization goals of approximately 21 percent; vendors must meet HUB participation targets or document good-faith outreach efforts to certified minority and women-owned firms. Winning vendors must demonstrate FDA 510(k) market clearance for electric devices, multi-language instructional materials (English and Spanish), adjustable cycling rates (60–72 cycles per minute), warranty coverage (typically three years for multi-user pumps, one year for single-user models), and delivery timelines of 30–45 days from order.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with Texas HHSC driving the largest volume through WIC procurement. The Texas HHSC IFB HHS0007034 (bid due April 2020, though the posting date shown is January 29, 2026) historically ordered 12,425 single-user electric pumps, 12,280 manual pumps, 10,300 milk collection kits, and 96 multi-user electric pumps annually in prior years, indicating substantial per-unit demand despite no volume guarantees. The Georgia Department of Public Health eRFP 40500-DPH0000259 (proposals due March 18, 2026) targeted the state WIC program serving 246,278 participants across 159 counties and 181 clinics, but was cancelled April 20, 2026, with no new solicitation posted. The Texas Department of State Health Services issued a compressed IFB for Medela-brand Pump In Style Pro units (IFQ9100DJD1010, bid due February 24, 2026) with a six-day window, signaling urgent or renewal demand. Cooperative purchasing through the Minnesota Multigovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP RFP 37259, proposals due July 20, 2026) includes breast pumps within a full-line medical supplies catalog for an 8,000-member government network generating $300 million in collective annual medical supply purchasing power. WIC-focused procurements are episodic and state-driven; activity is not currently broad across jurisdictions.
