UNSPSC 42262007: Embalming injector needles

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a hollow needle commonly used with a syringe to inject or extract substances or fluids associated with a procedure. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901832.

UNSPSC 42262007 Embalming injector needles is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local solicitation activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The source records show no recent opportunities specifically requesting embalming injector needles; instead, the opportunities tagged to this code address autopsy equipment, mortuary transport services, and mass-casualty mortuary operations. The mismatch between the code name and the actual solicitations suggests either a cataloging anomaly in the state and local procurement systems or that the code is used as a catchall for medical examiner and mortuary-related equipment more broadly than the commodity name implies. Purchasing offices in Texas, Florida, and Pennsylvania have posted opportunities in the medical examiner and mortuary services space over the past two months, but the specific product line of embalming injector needles does not appear in the recent opportunity descriptions.

The medical examiner and mortuary-equipment ecosystem represented in the source shows activity from county medical examiner offices and state health agencies. Collin County Medical Examiner (Texas) posted two separate ITBs in October 2026—one for autopsy cadaver carriers and trays (IFB 2026-430, due October 8, 2026) valued at approximately $220,000, and another for morgue transport services (IFB 2026-300, due October 15, 2026) valued at approximately $130,000 annually. The City of Philadelphia Procurement Department requested quotes for an autopsy cart (B2728086, due September 28, 2026) with a budget ceiling of $45,000. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, procuring on behalf of HHSC and the Department of State Health Services, issued multiple iterations of a large mortality resources and services contract (HHS0017352v3, due October 28, 2026; HHS0017352v2, due September 9, 2026; HHS0017352, due July 17, 2026) requiring strike-team mortuary services, trailer maintenance, and long-term storage within 125 miles of Waco. Escambia County's Department of Animal Welfare in Florida also solicited walk-in freezer replacement services (ITQ FREEZERMAR2, due March 9, 2026). Given the absence of direct embalming injector needle solicitations and the present focus on larger mortuary infrastructure and services, this code warrants close monitoring for future activity but shows no immediate pipeline under its stated commodity definition.
