About UNSPSC 48131503

Written by GovTribe AI · Oct 20, 2026

UNSPSC 48131503 Shroud is a Commodity code that describes autopsy and mortuary equipment and supplies, specifically cadaver carriers, trays, transport containers, and related mortuary infrastructure used by county medical examiners' offices and state health departments. State and local procurement under this code centers on the physical containment, transport, and storage of human remains during autopsy, examination, and emergency mass fatality response operations. Issuing bodies include county medical examiner departments, state health and human services agencies, and municipal procurement offices. The scope includes both routine equipment replacement—standard autopsy carrier chassis, molded plastic trays, and bariatric carriers for individual examinations—and large-scale mortuary preparedness assets such as 32-foot mortuary trailers and strike-team deployment infrastructure for disaster response.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, with Collin County Medical Examiner (IFB 2026-430 for autopsy cadaver carriers and trays, bids due October 15, 2026, estimated annual contract value $220,000) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring mortality resources and services on behalf of the Department of State Health Services (IFB HHS0017352v3, responses due October 28, 2026, based on historical spend of $269,485.68 from October 2022 through June 2026). The City of Philadelphia Procurement Department issued a micro purchase for an autopsy cart (B2728086, quotes due September 28, 2026, ceiling $45,000). Escambia County's Department of Animal Welfare in Florida solicited walk-in freezer replacement (ITQ FREEZERMAR2, quotes due March 9, 2026). The Texas HHSC procurements represent sustained statewide demand for mortuary trailers, licensed funeral director personnel, and storage infrastructure within 125 miles of Waco; Collin County's medical examiner activity reflects routine equipment replenishment with vendor-managed delivery and installation within 60 calendar days of award.
