UNSPSC 41104109: Blood unit collection bags

UNSPSC 41104109 Blood unit collection bags (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent state and local activity. The one matchable opportunity involves DNA buccal collection kits rather than blood unit collection bags—a related but distinct forensic specimen-collection product. The State of Nebraska, Department of Administrative Services, Materiel Division, State Purchasing Bureau posted ITB 125399OR in July 2026 for DNA Database Buccal Collection Kits for the Nebraska State Patrol Crime Laboratory, specifying kits containing an envelope, instruction sheet, nitrile gloves, disposable pre-inked fingerprint strip, collection bag, EasiCollect Plus Collection Device, sample envelope, evidence seal, and kit shipping seal. The contract contemplates approximately 7,500 kits annually under an initial four-year term with optional one-year renewals, with pricing firm for the first year and subject to capped increases thereafter. A second recent posting—Orange County, Florida's emergency bridge-replacement project—bears no connection to the code's nominal scope and appears to be a tagging error. The code shows little demonstrated recent procurement activity in state and local markets centered on blood unit collection bags as typically defined.

Nebraska represents the only jurisdiction with a current relevant opportunity under this code, and the scope divergence between the code name (blood unit collection bags) and what is actually being solicited (forensic DNA buccal kits) suggests either misclassification at posting or a narrow application of the code to forensic specimen collection rather than traditional phlebotomy or blood-bank collection. Firms serving forensic or crime-laboratory markets may find periodic opportunity here, but the current pipeline does not support sustained pursuit of this code as a dedicated category.
