UNSPSC 42301502 Anatomical human mannequins for medical education or training (Commodity) covers specialized training simulators and anatomical models that state and local education and health institutions purchase to support clinical and medical workforce development. Recent solicitations show demand for high-fidelity, specialized equipment: virtual cadaver tables that double as dissection platforms and classroom displays; obstetric trainer sets with multiple configurations (Sophie, Charlie, and related product lines) for nursing and midwifery education; canine simulators for veterinary technology programs; and associated accessory kits. The issuing bodies are predominantly higher-education institutions — community colleges, university health sciences centers, and university veterinary programs — that integrate these mannequins into degree curricula and clinical training labs rather than individual skills-training vendors or hospital systems.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, with three of four posted opportunities originating from Texas institutions: Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) in June 2026 for multiple obstetric trainer sets and accessory kits for delivery to Dallas; Texas A&M University Division of Finance and Business Services issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) in June 2026 for a K9 Diesel canine simulator with wound kit and amputation attachment for the Vet Tech Lab in College Station; and Rockland Community College in New York posted an RFP for a Virtual Cadaver Convertible Table by August 20, 2026, with Anatomage named as the standard manufacturer and authorized distributors only eligible to bid. The Texas Tech and Texas A&M procurements use best-value criteria incorporating cost, vendor reputation, quality, warranty, and long-term total cost; TTUHSC includes HUB and disability-owned business set-asides and preferences. The Rockland Community College solicitation allows alternate manufacturers as approved equals, with final determination reserved to the Nursing Department.
