UNSPSC 41104108: Non vacuum blood collection tubes or containers

UNSPSC 41104108 Non vacuum blood collection tubes or containers is a Commodity code that covers specimen collection and handling products used in forensic, medical, and laboratory testing applications. State and local governments purchase these products primarily through law enforcement agencies, public health departments, and state laboratory facilities. The code encompasses collection devices, swabs, containers, seals, and associated kit components designed to maintain chain-of-custody integrity and sample viability for DNA and biological testing.

The Nebraska State Patrol Crime Laboratory represents the primary recent buyer under this code, having issued ITB 125399 OR on July 29, 2026 for DNA Database Buccal Collection Kits with a response deadline of July 24, 2026. The State of Nebraska Department of Administrative Services Materiel Division State Purchasing Bureau solicited complete kits containing collection devices, envelopes, nitrile gloves, fingerprint strips, evidence seals, and shipping materials, with estimated annual usage of 7,500 kits and a four-year initial contract term at firm pricing for the first year. The contract included late-delivery penalties, F.O.B. destination delivery within forty-five calendar days, and sample submission requirements. No other recent state or local opportunities under this code are present in the source; the second opportunity listed involves emergency bridge replacement and is unrelated to specimen collection products.
