UNSPSC 41104116: Swab collection or transport containers

UNSPSC 41104116 Swab collection or transport containers is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure specialized kits and containers for biological specimen collection and evidence handling. The State of Nebraska Department of Administrative Services has recently solicited DNA Database Buccal Collection Kits for the Nebraska State Patrol Crime Laboratory, requesting complete kits that include collection devices, envelopes, gloves, fingerprint strips, seals, and shipping containers conforming to chain-of-custody standards for forensic DNA evidence. State purchasing offices and crime laboratory agencies are the primary issuing bodies under this code, procuring kits in volume for law enforcement and forensic analysis programs.

The Nebraska State Patrol solicitation (ITB 125399OR, due July 24, 2026) represents the most recent relevant activity under the code, with an estimated annual usage of approximately 7,500 kits per year under an initial four-year term with four one-year renewal options. The contract pricing is firm for the first year with subsequent renewals capped at six percent price increases, and delivery must occur within forty-five calendar days of order with late-delivery penalties of fifteen percent. The second opportunity listed in the source — Orange County, Florida's bridge replacement project (Y26-742) — is unrelated to the scope of the code and appears to be a misclassification. Recent activity under UNSPSC 41104116 remains concentrated in state law enforcement procurement, particularly in the upper Midwest, with limited visibility into broader geographic coverage or a diverse issuing-body base.
