UNSPSC 42262009: Embalming sink accessories

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an accessory for a sink in an embalming station in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule embalming sink accessories under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42262009 Embalming sink accessories, a Commodity code, covers mortuary equipment and supplies that state and local governments procure for medical examiners' offices, county morgues, and emergency mass-fatality operations. Recent solicitations show this code encompasses not only sink fixtures but also related autopsy and cadaver-handling equipment, cadaver transport services, mortuary trailers and strike-team staffing, and walk-in freezer systems for body storage. Collin County Medical Examiner, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and Department of State Health Services (DSHS), the City of Philadelphia, and Escambia County are the primary recent buyers. The issuing bodies span county medical examiner offices, state health agencies, municipal procurement departments, and county animal welfare facilities — a diverse mix reflecting the scattered jurisdictional ownership of mortuary infrastructure across local and state government.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Pennsylvania, and Florida. Collin County posted two sealed-bid IFBs in October 2026: IFB 2026-430 for Mopec autopsy cadaver carriers, trays, and bariatric carriers (response deadline October 15, 2026, estimated annual contract value $220,000) and IFB 2026-300 for morgue transport services (response deadline October 15, 2026, estimated annual contract value $130,000). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017352v3 for mortality resources and services—mortuary trailers, strike-team personnel, and storage—due October 28, 2026, with historical spending guidance of $269,485.68 over a prior four-year period. The City of Philadelphia quoted an autopsy cart in late September 2026 (response deadline September 28, 2026, ceiling $45,000). Escambia County in Florida sought quotes for walk-in freezer removal and replacement in March 2026 (ITQ released August 6, 2026). All contracts are firm, fixed-price structures with standard insurance requirements (general liability typically $1 million to $2 million, workers' compensation, and commercial auto liability) and delivery or deployment timelines of 24 to 60 days.
