UNSPSC 41102902: Embedding molds

UNSPSC 41102902 Embedding molds, a Commodity code, describes products and services that state and local governments procure for laboratory and forensic operations, specifically tissue embedding, processing, and analysis services. Recent solicitations show demand for histology laboratory services supporting medical examiner and investigative agencies — the work includes tissue embedding, cutting, staining with specialized reagents, and preparation of microscopy slides for pathological examination. Issuing bodies consist primarily of state investigative bureaus and county medical examiner offices; the State of Georgia's Bureau of Investigation has solicited histology services twice within the past three months, and Brevard County's Medical Examiner's Office represents county-level demand for the same service class.

Activity concentrates in California and Florida, with Georgia emerging as a repeated buyer. The State of California issued a Request for Bid (RFBIS26200981) posted May 19, 2026, with response due June 4, 2026, requiring CBE certification and technical compliance with unspecified performance standards. Brevard County Purchasing Services solicited histology laboratory services via RFQ72607, posted April 6, 2026, with response due April 7, 2026, specifying Florida state certification, College of American Pathologists accreditation, HT(ASCP) or HTL(ASCP) personnel credentials, minimum liability coverage of $1 million general, $1 million professional, $2 million auto, and $5 million cyber, five-year contract duration, and a four-working-day turnaround on completed histological reports. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation issued two consecutive eRFQs — Solicitation 47100GBI0000203 posted April 29, 2026, due May 8, 2026, and Solicitation 47100GBI0000204 posted May 12, 2026, due May 15, 2026 — both seeking histology services with compressed response windows of nine and three days respectively.
