UNSPSC 42262002: Embalming vein drainage tubes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a tube for draining veins in an embalming procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42262002 Embalming vein drainage tubes, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The nominal scope—specialized supplies for mortuary operations—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this code. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for mortality resources and services (HHS0017352, due July 17, 2026) that encompasses strike teams, equipment, and personnel for mass fatality response; Klein Independent School District posted an RFP for career technical education and advanced academics instructional resources (RFP #26-101, due June 5, 2026); Collier County issued an RFP for major incident standby services covering disaster supplies and manpower (RFP No. 25-8416, due March 18, 2026); and Escambia County twice solicited walk-in freezer removal and replacement at its animal welfare facility (ITQ FREEZERMAR2 and FREEZERJAN12). None of these procurements target embalming supplies or mortuary equipment as their primary scope, and the code assignment appears to reflect a tagging mismatch rather than genuine demand for the product line.

Activity under the code is concentrated in Texas and Florida, but the opportunities themselves—mass fatality operations management, educational resources, emergency response logistics, and facility equipment replacement—fall outside the mortuary supply market that the code nominally describes. Firms pursuing this code would find limited actionable opportunities in the recent record. The Texas HHS mortality services contract represents the closest match to mortuary-related work, but it emphasizes team deployment, training, and facilities management rather than consumable supplies such as embalming tubes. No set-asides or preference programs specific to this code tier are evident in the recent solicitations.
