UNSPSC 42261511: Autopsy vein directors

In this classification, this commodity that is a product used as a vein director in association with autopsy procedures in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Autopsy vein directors under 21 CFR 878.4820 and under FDA product code DWH. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42261511 Autopsy vein directors, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local forensic procurement activity identified in recent solicitations. The four recent opportunities—from the City of Dallas, Harris County, Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties, and the City of Tampa—all solicit crime scene supplies, forensic equipment, and law enforcement equipment broadly conceived, but none specifically reference autopsy vein directors or autopsy-related surgical instruments. The Harris County solicitation explicitly lists DNA collection items, evidence containers, fingerprint supplies, sharps containers, gloves, chemicals, and camera repair services; the Dallas Police Department requests unspecified forensic equipment for its Crime Scene Response unit; and Tampa seeks a FAST Forensics Custom Forensics Workstation. The Sourcewell RFP frames a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of public entities across the United States and Canada but does not detail equipment types. None of these procurements address the autopsy context the code name implies.

The source shows recent activity concentrated in Texas (Dallas and Harris County), Florida (Tampa), and multi-state cooperative purchasing (Sourcewell serving Washington counties and other jurisdictions nationwide), with response dates spanning February through June 2026. However, because the code's nominal scope—autopsy vein directors—does not match the forensic and crime scene equipment actually being solicited under this code tag, the categorization appears to be a data labeling mismatch rather than evidence of active autopsy-instrument procurement. State and local buyers do pursue forensic and law enforcement equipment through RFP, RFQ, and ITB vehicles, but the recent records associated with this specific UNSPSC code do not support genuine market activity in autopsy surgical instruments at the state or local level.
