UNSPSC 41103030: Cryogenic storage bag or overwrap

Bag and protective overwrap used for long term cryogenic freezing, storage and thawing of human blood components and cells

UNSPSC 41103030 Cryogenic storage bag or overwrap is a Commodity code that names a narrow product category, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect actual procurement of cryogenic storage bags or overwraps. Instead, the tagged solicitations describe purchases of refrigeration and freezer equipment—evidence storage units, pharmacy refrigerators, vaccine data loggers, and medical-grade refrigeration systems—that are structurally unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The City of Austin, Illinois Department of Corrections, and other issuing bodies are buying large refrigerated storage cabinets with secured lockers and temperature-monitoring systems, not cryogenic storage films or overwraps. State and local procurement offices have applied this code to solicitations for capital equipment and support systems that do not match the Commodity's defined product line, indicating either miscoding of the opportunities or a gap between the code's intended use and actual purchasing practice under it.

No recent state and local opportunities for actual cryogenic storage bags or overwraps appear in the source. The code shows little relevant activity in current state and local procurement, and the few records tagged to it describe unrelated equipment purchases. Practitioners considering this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for cryogenic film products or confirm whether procurement interest lies in the refrigeration equipment appearing in these solicitations instead.
