UNSPSC 41104015: Plant samples analysis equipment

UNSPSC 41104015 Plant samples analysis equipment (Commodity) covers forensic and biological sample collection and processing materials that state and local governments procure for crime laboratory operations and environmental testing. Recent solicitations show state purchasing offices and county resource management agencies acquiring DNA buccal collection kits for forensic databases, native plant propagation and production services for environmental restoration programs, and related sample-handling supplies that support chain-of-custody requirements for evidence processing. The code serves specialized state and county procurement needs rather than routine commodity purchases, with issuing bodies including state crime laboratories, county natural resource departments, and county purchasing bureaus.

The State of Nebraska Department of Administrative Services, Materiel Division posted ITB 125399OR in July 2026 for DNA Database Buccal Collection Kits, with deliverables including EasiCollect Plus Collection Devices, evidence seals, fingerprint strips, and related chain-of-custody materials for the Nebraska State Patrol Crime Laboratory; estimated annual usage was approximately 7,500 kits per year on a four-year initial term with optional one-year renewals. The County of Orange, California, OC Community Resources issued RFP 0122949801ST in June 2026 for California Native Container Plant Supply and Services, seeking custom propagation and off-the-shelf native plant inventory across multiple container sizes to fulfill annual orders of 5,000 plants, with local small business and disabled veteran enterprise preferences of 5–8% on cost scores. Recent activity concentrates in Nebraska and California, with forensic laboratory supply and environmental restoration services as the primary procurement drivers under this code.
