UNSPSC 42251619: Therapeutic ceramic clays

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a ceramic clay to aid in therapeutic activities in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42251619 Therapeutic ceramic clays (Commodity) does not match the scope of recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The most recent opportunities solicited under this code are a special education supplies catalog discount bid from Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas; durable medical equipment and services from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission; athletic training services from the City of Tucson; a law enforcement equipment procurement from Sourcewell; and athletic and physical education supplies from Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District—none of which involve therapeutic ceramic clays as a primary deliverable or material component. The Region 7 cooperative procurement (SPE2628) requests proposals for discounted catalogs of special education and supplies with an estimated two-year expenditure of $2,713,541, while the HHSC procurement (HHS0017173) covers eleven durable medical equipment categories across eleven Texas service regions with a contract ceiling of $5,000,000 and a HUB set-aside requirement of 21.1 percent utilization.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, with secondary procurement from California (a California Department of Health Services bid for SciFit Pro2 equipment due June 12, 2026), Arizona (Tucson Fire and Police athletic training services due June 9, 2026), and a multi-state cooperative through Sourcewell serving participants across Washington, Minnesota, and beyond (law enforcement equipment due June 16, 2026). The issuing bodies span school districts, municipal police and fire departments, state health agencies, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. The code's nominal scope—therapeutic ceramic clays—bears no apparent relationship to the equipment, supplies, and services actually being procured. Vendors should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities under this code, as the mismatch suggests either data-entry error on the issuer's side or a fundamental misalignment between the code definition and current state and local buying patterns.
