UNSPSC 42261801 Cadaver storage racks is a Commodity code covering autopsy and mortuary equipment, including cadaver carriers, trays, bariatric carriers, autopsy carts, and related storage systems that state and local medical examiner and public health offices procure for the handling, transport, and temporary storage of deceased persons. Recent solicitations show county medical examiners and state health agencies purchasing branded equipment (Mopec carriers, autopsy carts) alongside mortuary transport services and mass-fatality-response infrastructure, indicating the code captures both discrete equipment purchases and the broader mortuary operations and equipment management within which cadaver storage operates.
