UNSPSC 41104107: Vacuum blood collection tubes or containers

UNSPSC 41104107 Vacuum blood collection tubes or containers (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity under this code. The most recent opportunities posted to this code span water treatment chemicals, water purification systems, deionized water maintenance, water softening equipment, aeration systems, and water quality monitoring—none of which involve vacuum blood collection tubes or phlebotomy supplies. The mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error at the source level or that the code is not actively solicited by state and local governments for its intended commodity.

The opportunities recorded show instead a consistent pattern of water and wastewater treatment procurement across Florida, Texas, Georgia, and California jurisdictions, including Broward County (sole-source valve services), Dallas Independent School District (district-wide water treatment), San Mateo County Sheriff's Office (laboratory water filtration maintenance), Marion County Schools (water softener installation), Tampa Convention Center (cooling tower treatment), the City of Tampa (aeration equipment), the City of Austin (water quality monitoring chemicals), Hillsborough County (deionized water system maintenance), the University of Texas at Austin (ultrapure water system design and installation), the City of Tucson (advanced water purification operator services), and the City of LaGrange (treatment plant chemicals). These represent water infrastructure and laboratory support procurement, not clinical or medical supplies. Given the absence of relevant opportunities under this code and the divergence between the code's stated scope and actual buying activity, firms pursuing vacuum blood collection tubes should verify the correct UNSPSC classification with the issuing body before responding, as the current code assignment does not reflect what state and local governments are actually procuring in this commodity family.
