UNSPSC 42261708: Autopsy workstation or furniture accessories

In this classification, this commodity is a product used as an accessory to grossing workstations and associated furniture in association with autopsy procedures in a medical setting.

UNSPSC 42261708 Autopsy workstation or furniture accessories, a Commodity code, encompasses equipment and supplies used in medical examiner and forensic facilities, including cadaver carriers, trays, mortuary trailers, and related storage and handling systems. State and local buyers under this code include county medical examiner offices, state health and human services departments, community colleges with forensic or nursing programs, and specialized disaster-response units. Recent activity shows county government driving the most visible procurement, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission and individual county medical examiners as primary issuing bodies soliciting mortuary equipment, storage systems, and staffing services tied to autopsy and remains-handling operations.

The code shows active purchasing in Texas, Florida, Washington, and across multiple jurisdictions via cooperative vehicles. Collin County Medical Examiner posted an IFB (2026-430) due October 15, 2026, for Mopec autopsy cadaver carriers, trays, and bariatric carriers totaling approximately $220,000 for a twelve-month firm-fixed-price contract; delivery and installation must occur within 60 days of award. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, on behalf of both HHSC and the Department of State Health Services, issued IFB HHS0017352v3 due October 28, 2026, for mortality resources and services—including deployment of four 32-foot mortuary trailers, secure storage within 125 miles of Waco, and four Strike Teams (each with licensed funeral directors and funeral service professionals) available within 24 to 48 hours—with historical annual spending around $269,485 and initial contract term running January 1, 2027, through August 31, 2027, with three optional one-year renewals. Escambia County, Florida, issued an ITQ (FREEZERMAR2) for walk-in freezer removal and replacement at an animal welfare facility. Washington State Department of Transportation (via Washington State Ferries) posted RFP20260825 due October 9, 2026, for occupational medical surveillance services rather than autopsy-specific workstations, indicating some misalignment between code assignment and actual scope. Rockland Community College solicited a virtual cadaver table (RFBRCC2026002, due August 20, 2026) through an RFP, and the District of Columbia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner issued IFB DOC827571 for forensic photography supplies and equipment due June 1, 2026.
