UNSPSC 41104018: Solid phase extraction preparations

UNSPSC 41104018 Solid phase extraction preparations (Commodity) describes forensic and laboratory sample-collection kits used in criminal-justice and public-health applications, though the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show limited direct relevance to the code's nominal scope. The one concrete match is the Nebraska State Patrol Crime Laboratory's procurement of DNA Database Buccal Collection Kits under ITB 125399OR, which explicitly includes solid-phase extraction components and chain-of-custody handling. State and local issuing bodies using this code appear to span state patrol and correctional agencies, county public-health laboratories, and higher-education research institutions. The Nebraska procurement is the only recent opportunity that aligns directly with forensic specimen collection; the other three opportunities in the recent activity block (Orange County bridge replacement, Santa Clara LIMS procurement, and University of Southern Mississippi XRD instrument acquisition) are unrelated to solid-phase extraction and appear to be miscoded.

The Nebraska State Patrol procurement is the primary recent activity supporting this code. The Department of Administrative Services, Materiel Division, State Purchasing Bureau issued ITB 125399OR on July 1, 2026, with bids due July 24, 2026, for approximately 7,500 DNA buccal collection kits annually under an initial four-year contract term with optional one-year renewals. The kits must include the EasiCollect Plus Collection Device, envelope, gloves, fingerprint strip, sample bag, evidence seals, and shipping components, with delivery required within forty-five calendar days of order receipt and pricing firm for the initial year. No other state or local jurisdictions appear in the recent opportunities block with solicitations directly matching this commodity code's scope. Geographic activity is limited to Nebraska based on the available records.
