UNSPSC 42262101: Mortuary outfits

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a outfit of clothing in association with mortuary services. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 401490.

UNSPSC 42262101 Mortuary outfits is a Commodity code that spans emergency mortality management services and equipment, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal volume and inconsistent relevance. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB No. HHS0017352 in July 2026 for Mortality Resources and Services, the only mission-aligned opportunity in the recent pipeline—a firm-fixed-price contract to establish and maintain four strike teams for mass fatality response, deploy mortuary trailers, and support the Texas Mass Fatality Operations Response Team, with responses due July 17, 2026. The other three opportunities in the recent dataset (Klein Independent School District CTE procurement, Collier County major incident standby services, and Escambia County walk-in freezer replacements) are tagged to this code but fall outside mortuary outfit scope and appear to reflect tagging errors in the issuing bodies' UNSPSC classification. Issuing bodies that do procure under this code tend to be state health and human services agencies rather than cities, counties, or school districts, though the dataset is too sparse to characterize a clear issuing-body pattern.

The geographic spread is extremely limited, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission the sole verified recent buyer in the actual mortuary services category. Activity is concentrated in Texas, specifically around the Waco metropolitan area and central Texas locations where HHSC maintains mortuary trailer storage. The HHS0017352 opportunity represents the only substantive recent signal for this code: it calls for personnel to hold minimum two years' relevant experience, maintain four licensed funeral directors and associated non-licensed staff across strike teams, establish secure storage for DSHS-owned equipment within 125 miles of Waco, and support quarterly maintenance reporting and annual preparedness exercises. Historical spend on similar services from October 2022 through June 2026 totaled $269,485.68 with no volume guarantee; the initial contract term runs September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with three optional one-year renewals. Winning bidders must carry workers' compensation, commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, professional liability, and umbrella coverage at $1 million each, with bids submitted in person or through HHS Online Bid Room by July 17, 2026. The code shows light recent activity; firms without established relationships in Texas emergency management and funeral services infrastructure will face significant startup barriers.
