UNSPSC 42261807 Autopsy carts is a Commodity code that encompasses forensic and crime scene equipment and supplies procured by state and local law enforcement, medical examiner, and public health agencies. Recent activity shows state and local governments buying forensic equipment, crime scene supplies, and related items — including DNA and evidence collection kits, fingerprint collection supplies, evidence containers, sharps disposal, and forensic camera components — rather than autopsy carts specifically. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county sheriffs' offices, municipal police departments, state universities, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles. Harris County, Texas and the City of Dallas Police Department posted the most recent law-enforcement-focused procurements; Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, is marketing a broader law enforcement equipment contracting vehicle to its participating entities across multiple states.

Recent activity centers in Texas and the Upper Midwest, with Harris County's ITB for Crime Scene Supplies and Related Items (due June 8, 2026) and Dallas Police Department's forensic equipment RFB (due June 26, 2026) representing the most concrete local-government buys. The University of Wisconsin-Madison posted an RFB for Implied Consent Blood Draw Kits (due August 7, 2026), reflecting procurement by higher-education institutions operating forensic or medical services. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (due June 16, 2026) establishes a cooperative contracting vehicle available to thousands of public entities across the United States and Canada, and a second Sourcewell cooperative opportunity for Physical Health Products and Related Services (due October 20, 2026) may include forensic or crime-scene-related categories within a broader scope. The code shows active procurement in Texas, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, with cooperative purchasing vehicles expanding geographic reach across multiple jurisdictions and entity types.
