UNSPSC 41102925: Histology formalin and solvent resistant permanent marker

Solvent and formalin resistant permanent markers for histology microslide and tissue cassette labeling

UNSPSC 41102925 Histology formalin and solvent resistant permanent marker is a Commodity code that covers supplies and materials used in histological specimen preparation and analysis, though recent state and local solicitations under this code actually procure full histology laboratory services—including tissue embedding, cutting, staining, analysis, and expert testimony—rather than markers alone. Issuing bodies include county medical examiners' offices and state forensic and investigative agencies. Brevard County, Florida's Medical Examiner's Office has posted multiple solicitations for histology services in 2026, including a sole-source procurement (Solicitation 5050708, response due July 13, 2026) and an RFQ for qualified histology laboratory providers (RFQ-7-26-07, sealed proposals due April 7, 2026 at 10:00 AM) requiring tissue staining, analysis, and chain of custody documentation with four-working-day turnaround, CAP accreditation, and professional certifications such as HT(ASCP) or HTL(ASCP), plus $1 million general liability and $5 million cyber liability coverage.

Recent activity spans Florida, Illinois, Georgia, and California. Cook County, Illinois issued a re-bid for histology and toxicology supplies (Solicitation 245709110RR, due July 22, 2026) with limited scope detail in the public posting. The State of Georgia, through the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, posted two eRFQs for histology services—Solicitation 47100GBI0000204 (posted May 12, 2026, due May 15, 2026) and Solicitation 47100GBI0000203 (posted April 29, 2026, due May 8, 2026)—both with compressed three- to nine-day response windows and incomplete public documentation. The State of California issued Request for Bid RFB-IS-26200981 (posted May 19, 2026, due June 4, 2026) with a CBE certification requirement and technical specifications, though the detailed scope was not fully accessible in the public summary. Brevard County's RFQ specifies a five-year contract term with proposals remaining firm for ninety days from opening, no set-asides disclosed, and evaluation on organizational profile, operations, facilities, experience, and certifications totaling 100 points.
