UNSPSC 41104004: Sample preparation bombs

UNSPSC 41104004 Sample preparation bombs, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The one clearly on-code solicitation is the State of Nebraska, Department of Administrative Services, State Purchasing Bureau's ITB 125399OR for DNA Database Buccal Collection Kits, posted July 29, 2026 with a response date of July 24, 2026. The kits function as forensic sample-collection assemblies for the Nebraska State Patrol Crime Laboratory, containing specified components (envelope, instruction sheet, nitrile gloves, disposable pre-inked fingerprint strip, collection bag, EasiCollect Plus Collection Device, sample envelope, proofs, evidence seal, and kit shipping seal) that meet chain-of-custody and evidence-integrity standards for DNA handling. The estimated annual usage is approximately 7,500 kits per year under a four-year initial term with options for four one-year renewals; delivery is F.O.B. destination within forty-five calendar days, with late-delivery penalties of fifteen percent on applicable invoices. The second opportunity in the source — Orange County, Florida's bridge-replacement project (Y26-742, due July 7, 2026, estimated cost $6,202,246.05) — is unrelated to sample-preparation goods and appears to be mis-tagged under this code.

The recent-opportunities block supports no pattern of repeat buyers or broad geographic spread under the code. State patrol crime laboratories and forensic-services functions within state and local criminal-justice agencies are the primary customer base when activity occurs, but the code shows sparse current solicitation volume. Nebraska is the only state with a documented recent opportunity in this dataset. Firms pursuing this code should monitor state and local law-enforcement purchasing portals and crime laboratory procurement channels for specimen-collection and evidence-handling supply needs, though current activity does not suggest sustained demand across multiple jurisdictions.
