UNSPSC 42262010: Embalming workstation

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a workstation in an embalming station in a medical setting Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42262010 Embalming workstation, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal product scope and recent state and local solicitations actually posted under it. The recent opportunity record includes one procurement explicitly tagged to this code — the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB No. HHS0017352 for Mortality Resources and Services — which solicits mortuary strike-team labor, body processing, remains transport, human remains identification, cremation, and family interface services, not embalming workstations or equipment. The remaining three opportunities posted under the code (Klein ISD's CTE and Advanced Academics RFP, Collier County's Major Incident Standby Services RFP, and Escambia County's walk-in freezer replacement ITQs) bear no relationship to embalming equipment or mortuary operations and appear to reflect administrative tagging mismatches. The Texas HHSC opportunity is the sole substantive signal under this code.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB No. HHS0017352, with responses due July 17, 2026, is the only recent state and local procurement with scope genuinely related to mortuary and embalming work, though it emphasizes staffing and operational services rather than equipment procurement. The contract requires establishing four strike teams with licensed funeral directors and trained personnel, maintaining storage and DSHS-owned mortuary trailers within a 125-mile radius of Waco, and supporting the Texas Mass Fatality Operations Response Team if deployed under an initial one-year term running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with three optional one-year renewals. Historical spend for similar services totaled $269,485.68 from October 2022 through June 2026. Personnel compensation is capped at Federal Pay Scale rates (GS-12-Step 10 for licensed funeral directors, GS-8-Step 10 for non-licensed staff), and the contractor must maintain workers' compensation, commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, professional liability, and umbrella liability coverage of $1 million each. Beyond this Texas opportunity, the code shows no recent state and local activity in embalming workstations or related equipment procurement.
