UNSPSC 41103034: Cryobead system for microbial organism cryogenic storage

Cryogenic storage system for bacteria that is composed of a cryovial incorporating treated beads and special cryopreservative solution

UNSPSC 41103034 Cryobead system for microbial organism cryogenic storage is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect cryogenic storage systems for microbes. Instead, the code shows active procurement for evidence refrigeration and freezer units, medical-grade pharmacy and vaccine refrigeration equipment, and laboratory refrigeration systems. State and local governments are buying purpose-built refrigeration and freezer cabinets with secured lockers, temperature monitoring and alarm functions, data logging capabilities, and stainless steel construction — equipment suited for forensic evidence preservation, medical supply storage, and vaccine maintenance rather than microbial cryopreservation.

The issuing-body mix spans cities, state corrections departments, state health agencies, and public health laboratories. The City of Austin Forensic Science Department, the Illinois Department of Corrections (appearing twice with separate procurements for pharmacy refrigerators and medical-grade vaccine refrigeration units), the District of Columbia Public Health Lab, and the Texas General Land Office all posted opportunities between May and July 2026. Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, and the District of Columbia. Representative opportunities include the City of Austin's IFQ for three evidence refrigerators (Spacesaver RS24 model) and one evidence freezer (Spacesaver ERF42 model) with delivery due within ninety days of order and quotes due August 3, 2026; the Illinois Department of Corrections' IFB for 28 countertop medical pharmacy refrigerators with digital temperature control and alarm functions, bids due May 18, 2026 with delivery by June 30, 2026; and the Illinois Department of Corrections' IFB for medical-grade refrigeration units and vaccine data loggers across 26 statewide correctional facilities, also due May 18, 2026 with installation required by June 30, 2026.
