UNSPSC 41104021: Fraction collector

A type of fraction collector used to separate liquid according to density which is parted from columns such as liquid chromatography, and automatically form a liquid layer within the centrifugal separating tube.

UNSPSC 41104021 Fraction collector is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement with minimal recent activity tied to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show a significant mismatch: the State of Nebraska's DNA Database Buccal Collection Kits solicitation (ITB 125399OR, due July 24, 2026) involves specimen-collection containers and chain-of-custody seals for crime-laboratory intake, not laboratory fraction-collection equipment. The other three posted opportunities—Orange County, Florida's bridge replacement project, Santa Clara County's lab information management system replacement, and the University of Southern Mississippi's X-ray diffraction instrument procurement—bear no relation to fraction collection and appear to be classification errors in the source data.

The single relevant recent solicitation is the Nebraska State Patrol Crime Laboratory's request for approximately 7,500 buccal-collection kits annually under a four-year initial term with one-year renewal options, priced net and inclusive of transportation with forty-five-day delivery and six percent price-increase caps on renewal periods. The issuing body is a state agency purchasing unit (Nebraska Department of Administrative Services, State Purchasing Bureau). Geographic concentration cannot be assessed from the available data; only Nebraska shows recent activity under this code. The code shows little current state and local procurement activity in its intended commodity category.
