UNSPSC 48131500: Burial or grave products

A product that is used to place the body or decorate the tomb site.

UNSPSC 48131500 Burial or grave products is a Class code under which state and local governments procure mortuary equipment, gravestone restoration services, and related decedent-management supplies. Recent solicitations show that the code captures autopsy equipment (carriers, trays, and carts), gravestone and monument conservation and restoration, and specialized mortuary services including decedent transport and mass-fatality strike-team operations. Issuing bodies include county medical examiners' offices, municipal cemetery departments, state health and human services agencies, and town procurement offices. The Collin County Medical Examiner's Office and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as repeat buyers in the recent activity block, signaling sustained procurement across medical examiner operations and emergency preparedness functions.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Massachusetts, Florida, and Pennsylvania. The Collin County Medical Examiner solicited sealed bids for autopsy cadaver carriers and trays (IFB 2026-430, due October 15, 2026, estimated annual value $220,000) and morgue transport services (IFB 2026-300, due October 15, 2026, estimated annual value $130,000). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017352v3 for mortality resources and services including mortuary trailer deployment, Strike Team operations, and storage (due October 28, 2026, with historical spending guidance of $269,485.68 from October 2022 through June 2026). The City of Philadelphia procured an autopsy cart via micro purchase (quotes due September 28, 2026, not-to-exceed $45,000). Gravestone restoration work appears across Massachusetts municipalities—the Town of Wellfleet (approximately 405 historic gravestones, proposals due October 2, 2026) and the Town of Edgartown (Old West Side Cemetery restoration, bids due November 4, 2026)—indicating a secondary but active stream of cemetery preservation work. Escambia County, Florida solicited walk-in freezer replacement for its Animal Welfare facility (ITQ due March 9, 2026, though this appears to be misdated or archived), indicating that burial-products codes sometimes capture tangential medical/mortuary storage infrastructure.
