UNSPSC 41104018: Solid phase extraction preparations

UNSPSC 41104018 Solid phase extraction preparations is a Commodity code that captures laboratory sample-collection and processing consumables used in forensic and analytical work by state and local crime laboratories and public-safety agencies. Recent state and local solicitations show active procurement of DNA collection kits—specifically buccal swab systems with sealed evidence envelopes, fingerprint strips, gloves, and chain-of-custody documentation—rather than the broader extraction reagents or chromatography columns the code name might suggest. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments of administrative services purchasing for crime laboratories and state patrol agencies. The scope centers on kits meeting forensic evidence-handling standards, including integrity seals, shipping containers, and compliance with procedural requirements for DNA database intake.

The Nebraska State Patrol Crime Laboratory, through the State of Nebraska Department of Administrative Services Materiel Division, issued ITB 125399OR in July 2026 seeking DNA Database Buccal Collection Kits with a response deadline of July 24, 2026 and estimated annual usage of approximately 7,500 kits per year; the contract terms span an initial four-year period with four optional one-year renewals, pricing firm for year one with subsequent increases capped at six percent. The code shows concentrated activity in the Great Plains region, with Nebraska identified as a recent active buyer. The Orange County, Florida opportunity tagged to this code (project Y26-742, sealed bid due July 7, 2026, estimated cost $6,202,246.05) is materially unrelated—it concerns emergency bridge replacement—and does not reflect actual buying patterns under the code.
