UNSPSC 42261808: Cadaver trays

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a tray having to do with cadaver, in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42261808 Cadaver trays (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code designation appears in a single relevant opportunity: Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) IFB No. HHS0017352, Mortality Resources and Services, due July 17, 2026, which solicits comprehensive mortuary operations and mass fatality response services including body processing, remains identification, transport, and storage. However, the remaining three opportunities tagged to this code — a Klein Independent School District RFP for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics instructional resources (due June 5, 2026), a Collier County Emergency Management RFP for Major Incident Standby Services (due March 18, 2026), and two Escambia County procurements for walk-in freezer replacement and removal (originally due January 29 and March 9, 2026) — bear no substantive connection to cadaver trays or mortuary equipment. The mismatch suggests either miscoding or a data-tagging error on the state and local side; the code sees little genuine procurement activity aligned to its intended product category.

The single relevant opportunity, HHSC's mortality services contract, requires the contractor to establish four strike teams of funeral service professionals, maintain mortuary trailers in storage near Waco, and deploy remains-handling capabilities within 48 hours of notification, with a firm fixed-price structure covering labor, equipment, supplies, and transport. Historical spend for similar services was $269,485.68 from October 2022 through June 2026, and the initial term runs September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with three optional one-year renewals. Responses to this solicitation closed on July 17, 2026. Beyond this single alignment, cadaver trays as a discrete commodity line do not surface in recent state and local solicitation activity; purchasers appear to bundle mortuary equipment and consumables within broader mass fatality or emergency response service contracts rather than procure trays as standalone line items.
