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 (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—autopsy cadaver carriers and trays, morgue transport services, mortuary equipment deployment, and walk-in freezer replacement—do not align with the narrow scope of vein drainage tubes for embalming. State and local jurisdictions appear to be purchasing broader mortuary equipment, services, and infrastructure rather than consumable drainage components. Collin County Medical Examiner and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) have posted multiple solicitations for mortuary supplies, equipment, and disaster-response services, but none explicitly target the vein drainage tube commodity as defined.

The geographic activity supporting the code centers on Texas, with Collin County posting IFBs for autopsy cadaver carriers (IFB 2026-430, approximately $220,000 annual value, responses due October 15, 2026) and morgue transport services (IFB 2026-300, approximately $130,000 annual value, responses due October 15, 2026), and HHSC posting multiple iterations of a Mortality Resources and Services solicitation (HHS0017352v3, responses due October 28, 2026) requiring strike teams and mortuary trailer deployment. One autopsy cart procurement from the City of Philadelphia (Micro Purchase B2728086, responses due September 28, 2026, budget cap $45,000) and an Escambia County, Florida freezer replacement project (ITQ FREEZERMAR2, responses due March 9, 2026) represent isolated activity outside Texas. The code shows no current demand signal for embalming vein drainage tubes as a standalone commodity line item.
