NIGP 11512: Blood Fractions (Not for Human Use): Antigens, Antiserums, Controls, Serums, etc.

NIGP 11512 Blood Fractions (Not For Human Use): Antigens, Antiserums, Controls, Serums, Etc., an Item code, covers laboratory reagents and diagnostic materials derived from blood or blood components that state and local governments procure for research, quality control, and clinical laboratory operations — including antigens, antiserums, control serums, and related blood fractions used in testing and validation rather than direct patient transfusion or therapeutic use. The code supports procurement by state health departments, public health laboratories, university research facilities, and hospital systems that maintain in-house diagnostic and quality-assurance operations. These jurisdictions source materials for pathology testing, immunoassay validation, serological screening protocols, and reference standards used in blood banking, microbiology, and hematology divisions.

The source material provided does not include recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. Without posted solicitations, issuing-body patterns and geographic activity cannot be characterized from current procurement records.
