UNSPSC 42261701: Autopsy grossing workstations

In this classification, this commodity that is a product used as a grossing workstation in association with autopsy procedures in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Autopsy grossing workstations under 21 CFR 878.4960 and under FDA product code LGX. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 940290.

UNSPSC 42261701 Autopsy grossing workstations is a Commodity code that covers specialized equipment and facilities for post-mortem examination and body processing, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code centers on mortality services delivery rather than autopsy workstation hardware alone. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) issued an IFB in July 2026 for Mortality Resources and Services—a comprehensive strike-team deployment model requiring licensed funeral directors and mortuary technicians to staff four mobile units, maintain body storage capacity, and support mass fatality response operations. The Technical College System of Georgia has posted two separate sole-brand eRFQs for Anatomage Virtual Cadaver Tables at Atlanta Technical College and Southern Regional Technical College in March 2026, which are anatomical education devices rather than autopsy workstations but are being tagged under this code. Escambia County, Florida issued multiple ITQs for walk-in freezer replacement and installation at its Animal Welfare and Adoption Center, a scope plainly unrelated to autopsy workstations or mortuary operations. The code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and what state and local entities are actually procuring under it; the HHSC mortality services contract and the educational cadaver table purchases represent the only substantively relevant recent activity.

The geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, and Florida, though the recent opportunities are sparse and fragmented across unrelated equipment categories. The Texas HHSC mortality services opportunity, with responses due July 17, 2026, is the most decision-relevant for contractors in mortuary operations and mass fatality response, requiring deployment capability within 48 hours and strike-team staffing aligned with Federal Pay Scale rates capped at GS-12-Step 10 for licensed funeral directors. The two Georgia technical college procurements (Atlanta Technical College and Southern Regional Technical College, both due April 10, 2026) represent restricted sole-brand purchases for educational anatomy equipment with no substitution permitted. The Escambia County walk-in freezer replacements in Pensacola, Florida are unrelated to the code's scope. This code currently shows limited recent activity directly aligned with autopsy workstation procurement; the majority of tagged opportunities fall outside traditional mortuary or pathology equipment scope.
