UNSPSC 41102928: Automated microscope slide labeler

Automated microscope labeling system and its accessories and supplies

UNSPSC 41102928 Automated microscope slide labeler is a Commodity code that covers histology laboratory services — including tissue processing, embedding, cutting, staining (routine hematoxylin and eosin, acid-fast bacilli, fungi, Gram stain, Wright-Giemsa, reticulum, and Masson's trichrome), slide preparation, and analysis of postmortem and clinical specimens. State and local buyers soliciting under this code are county medical examiners' offices and state investigative agencies. Brevard County Purchasing Services has posted multiple histology service solicitations on behalf of its Medical Examiner's Office, including both a sole-source procurement and a competitive RFQ; the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has issued eRFQs for histology services. Contractors typically must hold Florida state certification (or equivalent state licensure), College of American Pathologists accreditation, active proficiency testing program participation, and personnel certifications such as HT(ASCP) or HTL(ASCP). Insurance requirements commonly include general liability, professional liability, auto liability, and cyber liability coverage. Deliverables include completed histological reports, chain of custody documentation, stained slide courier delivery, and availability for expert consultation and potential court testimony.
