UNSPSC 42261514 Dissection boards or pads is a Commodity code that encompasses forensic and crime scene equipment and supplies procured by law enforcement agencies and police departments. The recent opportunities recorded under this code show state and local governments purchasing forensic workstations, crime scene investigation equipment, and related forensic supplies—including DNA collection kits, evidence containers, fingerprint collection supplies, and specialized forensic machinery—rather than dissection boards in the medical or educational sense. Issuing bodies include municipal police departments (Dallas Police Department, Tampa Police Department), county sheriff's offices (Harris County Sheriff's Office), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit coordinating procurement for multiple Washington State counties and public entities across the United States and Canada). The Harris County Sheriff's Office ITB indicates standing demand for crime scene supplies on an as-needed basis with multiple-vendor pools, suggesting recurring procurement cycles rather than one-time purchases.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with broader geographic reach through the Sourcewell cooperative procurement serving Washington State counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima) and participating entities nationwide. The City of Dallas posted an IFB (Solicitation IFSDPDB2600026) on June 22, 2026, for forensic equipment delivery to the Dallas Police Department Crime Scene Response unit at 1400 Botham Jean Boulevard with a bid due date of June 26, 2026, requiring new, unopened products in original packaging with FOB delivery pricing submitted through the City's Bonfire portal. Harris County, Texas issued an ITB (Solicitation 250415) posted May 15, 2026, for crime scene supplies and related items with a June 8, 2026 response deadline, seeking to establish a multi-vendor pool for DNA collection items, evidence containers, fingerprint supplies, and camera repair services under a one-year term beginning June 1, 2026, with mandatory insurance (workers' compensation $1 million, general liability $1 million per occurrence/$2 million aggregate, automobile liability $1 million, umbrella $1 million) and a $21.65 per hour minimum wage requirement. Sourcewell issued an RFP (061626) posted May 12, 2026, for law enforcement equipment available to participating entities and public agencies across multiple jurisdictions, with proposals due June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal.
