UNSPSC 42261703: Autopsy tables

In this classification, this commodity that is a product used as a table in association with autopsy procedures in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 940290.

UNSPSC 42261703 Autopsy tables (Commodity) shows minimal state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. Recent opportunities posted under this code include mass-fatality mortuary services, anatomical education equipment (virtual cadaver tables), law enforcement equipment, forensic photography supplies, and walk-in freezer replacement—none of which involve physical autopsy tables as traditionally defined. The one substantive match, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's Mortality Resources and Services contract (IFB HHS0017352, response due July 17, 2026), requires mortuary strike teams with bodies processing and embalming competencies to operate and maintain state-owned mortuary trailers, not to procure autopsy tables themselves. The remaining opportunities appear to be miscoded: two Georgia technical colleges sought sole-brand Anatomage Virtual Cadaver Tables (educational simulation equipment), Escambia County solicited walk-in freezer replacement for an animal shelter, Sourcewell issued a cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment broadly, and the District of Columbia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner requested forensic photography supplies. None involve autopsy-table procurement.

State and local buyers tagging opportunities under this code appear to span state health agencies, technical college systems, county facilities, and special-purpose cooperatives across Texas, Georgia, Florida, and the District of Columbia, but the code shows no clear pattern of autopsy-table purchasing in the recent record. Issuers include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Technical College System of Georgia (on behalf of Atlanta Technical College and Southern Regional Technical College), Escambia County, and Sourcewell. A business development professional evaluating this code should note that current activity does not reflect traditional autopsy-table sales; opportunities tagged here are either mislabeled or reflect adjacent mortuary and anatomical-equipment categories. The code warrants monitoring for reclassified procurement or consolidation into more accurate taxonomy, but near-term pursuit should focus on whether your firm's autopsy-table offering can reasonably support mass-fatality mortuary operations or medical-education environments where the code is seeing actual buyer interest.
