UNSPSC 42261700: Autopsy furniture

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

UNSPSC 42261700 Autopsy furniture is a Class code that covers cadaver carriers, trays, bariatric carriers, and related mortuary equipment storage and handling systems that county medical examiners and state health agencies procure for deceased-remains processing and temporary storage. State and local governments under this code are buying specialized metal and plastic transport carriers designed to meet occupational-safety and dignity-of-remains standards, along with operational support services for deployed mortuary trailers and strike teams during mass-fatality incidents. The issuing bodies are primarily county medical examiners' offices and state health departments; Collin County (Texas) Medical Examiner and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as active recent buyers.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and scattered jurisdictions across the South and Northeast. Collin County Medical Examiner issued IFB 2026-430 Autopsy Cadaver Carriers and Trays with a response deadline of October 15, 2026, seeking sealed bids on Mopec autopsy cadaver carriers, trays, and bariatric carriers (approximately 105 units combined, firm-fixed price contract with delivery required within 60 days of award, approximate annual value $220,000). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, procuring on behalf of HHSC and the Department of State Health Services, issued IFB HHS0017352v3 Mortality Resources and Services with responses due October 28, 2026, requiring contractor-maintained inventory of mortuary supplies and equipment, deployment of four DSHS-owned 32-foot mortuary trailers within 24 hours of notification, secure long-term storage within 125 miles of Waco, and establishment of four Strike Teams staffed with licensed funeral directors and funeral-service professionals trained in Incident Command System classes. The Texas procurement has historical spend of $269,485.68 from October 2022 through June 2026 and runs from January 1, 2027, through August 31, 2027, with three optional one-year renewals. Escambia County (Florida) issued an ITQ for walk-in freezer replacement at its Animal Welfare and Adoption Center, with quotes due March 9, 2026 — functionally related to cold-storage asset management rather than autopsy-specific furniture.
