UNSPSC 41104023: Water sampler accessories

Accessories to water sampling equipment

UNSPSC 41104023 Water sampler accessories is a Commodity code that in practice covers specialized collection and evidence-handling kits for forensic and laboratory use, not traditional water-sampling equipment. The State of Nebraska Department of Administrative Services recently solicited DNA Database Buccal Collection Kits for its State Patrol Crime Laboratory, indicating that state purchasing offices use this code for integrated collection systems that combine swabs, containers, chain-of-custody seals, and supporting materials into complete field-ready kits. The kit components include collection devices, evidence envelopes, integrity seals, gloves, and fingerprint strips — all conforming to forensic evidence standards. State agencies appear to be the primary buyers under this code, purchasing kits in volume for crime laboratory operations.

The Nebraska ITB 125399OR, posted July 29, 2026 with a bid due date of July 24, 2026, represents the most recent activity. The State projected approximately 7,500 kits per year and awarded an initial four-year contract with optional one-year renewals, requiring F.O.B. destination delivery within forty-five days and firm pricing for the first year. A second recent opportunity, Orange County, Florida's bridge replacement project (Y26-742, bids due July 7, 2026, estimated cost $6,202,246.05), appears unrelated to the code's actual scope — no water sampler or collection-kit procurement is evident in that solicitation. Geographic activity centers on the Great Plains and Southeast based on the Nebraska and Florida records, though the small number of recent postings suggests limited current procurement velocity under this code. Firms pursuing state laboratory supply contracts should monitor crime-lab RFQs and state purchasing cooperative vehicles for DNA collection kit opportunities.
