UNSPSC 42261704 Necropsy tables is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitation activity under this code shows a material mismatch between its nominal scope and actual work being procured. The source contains one directly relevant opportunity—the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017352 for Mortality Resources and Services (due July 17, 2026)—which calls for establishing and maintaining strike teams trained in mortuary operations, body processing, remains transport, human remains identification, embalming, cremation, and family interface to support public health emergencies and mass fatality response. However, four of the six opportunities in the recent-opportunities block are unrelated to necropsy tables or mortuary services: the Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026), the District of Columbia OCME IFB for forensic photography supplies and equipment (due June 1, 2026), and two Technical College System of Georgia eRFQs for Anatomage Virtual Cadaver Tables at Atlanta Technical College and Southern Regional Technical College (both due April 10, 2026). Two Escambia County animal welfare walk-in freezer replacement solicitations (posted March 10 and March 2, 2026) similarly fall outside the code's nominal scope, though freezer equipment may tangentially relate to remains storage.

The mismatch suggests either tagging inconsistency in the source data or that the code is not being actively deployed for its intended purpose in recent state and local procurement. The one substantially relevant opportunity—the Texas HHSC mortality services contract—involves firm fixed pricing with historical spend of $269,485.68 from October 2022 through June 2026, a four-strike-team staffing model with licensed funeral directors and trained personnel, maintenance of DSHS-owned mortuary trailers within 125 miles of Waco, and participation in preparedness exercises and the Texas Mass Fatality Operations Response Team. Bidders must demonstrate a minimum of two years' relevant experience and provide three verifiable references for similar contracts within the past ten years; personnel compensation is capped at Federal Pay Scale rates. The contract runs September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with three optional one-year renewals. Beyond this single relevant posting, the code shows little active procurement aligned with its necropsy-table nominal definition in the recent state and local market.
