UNSPSC 42261809: Cadaver lifter or transfer devices

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a lift or transfer device having to do with cadaver, in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42261809 Cadaver lifter or transfer devices is a Commodity code for which recent state and local procurement activity shows minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) posted IFB No. HHS0017352 on July 1, 2026, for Mortality Resources and Services with a response deadline of July 17, 2026, requiring a contractor to establish and maintain four strike teams trained in mortuary operations, body processing, remains transport, human remains identification, embalming, cremation, and family interface, with strike teams to deploy within 48 hours of notification. The contract runs September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with three optional one-year renewals, and historical spend from October 2022 through June 2026 totaled $269,485.68; compensation for licensed funeral directors is capped at Federal Pay Scale GS-12-Step 10 and non-licensed personnel at GS-8-Step 10. The remaining recent opportunities in the source—Klein Independent School District's RFP for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics resources (posted April 17, 2026), Collier County's RFP for Major Incident Standby Services (posted April 2, 2026), and Escambia County's ITQ for walk-in freezer replacement (posted March 10, 2026 and March 2, 2026)—do not involve cadaver lifters, transfer devices, or mortuary equipment and appear to be mistagged under this code.

The single relevant opportunity reflects activity in Texas state health services procurement, specifically the HHSC's ongoing need for mortality response contractors. No geographic spread or issuing-body concentration can be reliably characterized from a single relevant solicitation. The code shows little substantive recent activity aligned with its stated purpose of cadaver lifter or transfer device procurement at state and local levels.
