UNSPSC 42261700: Autopsy furniture

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized as autopsy furniture.

UNSPSC 42261700 Autopsy furniture, a Class code, reflects state and local government procurement of specialized mortuary and forensic equipment used in mass fatality response, medical examiner operations, and anatomical education — not traditional furniture but equipment and supplies for human remains processing, storage, and examination. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) solicited mortality resources and services under IFB No. HHS0017352, requiring contractor-managed strike teams with licensed funeral directors and mortuary technicians capable of body processing, remains transport, and family interface, supported by storage and maintenance of state-owned mortuary trailers; the Technical College System of Georgia issued two sole-brand eRFQs for Anatomage Virtual Cadaver Tables at Atlanta Technical College and Southern Regional Technical College; and the District of Columbia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner posted an IFB for forensic photography supplies and equipment. Issuing bodies span state health agencies, technical colleges, medical examiners' offices, and county animal welfare departments — a mix reflecting both public-health emergency preparedness and educational and operational forensic capacity.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and the District of Columbia. The Texas HHSC opportunity (HHS0017352, due July 17, 2026) is the largest and most comprehensive, establishing a service contract with historical spend of $269,485.68 and a firm fixed-price structure running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with three optional renewals. The Georgia procurements (both eRFQs posted March 31, 2026, due April 10, 2026) pursued one-time equipment purchases with no brand substitution allowed, suggesting established vendor relationships in academic anatomical training. The Escambia County Department of Animal Welfare in Florida posted two ITQs for walk-in freezer removal and replacement at its animal welfare facility, indicating that mortuary-adjacent refrigeration infrastructure also falls within recent procurement activity under this code, though freezer equipment procurement represents marginal relevance to the code's core scope of autopsy and forensic work. The mix suggests that state and local procurement under this code concentrates on mass-fatality operational capability and medical education equipment rather than consumable supplies.
