UNSPSC 41104118: Specimen collection container

Containers used for holding specimens.

UNSPSC 41104118 Specimen collection container is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure DNA evidence and forensic collection kits, including buccal swabs, fingerprint strips, sealing envelopes, and associated chain-of-custody materials for law enforcement laboratory operations. The Nebraska State Patrol Crime Laboratory recently solicited DNA Database Buccal Collection Kits under ITB 125399 OR, requesting approximately 7,500 kits annually with a four-year initial contract term and renewal options. The kits must include specified components such as the EasiCollect Plus Collection Device, nitrile gloves, disposable fingerprint strips, collection bags, sample and evidence envelopes, and integrity seals meeting forensic handling standards. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state law enforcement laboratories and public health departments; the recent activity reflects state purchasing bureaus managing bulk procurement for crime laboratory operations.

Recent opportunities for this code concentrate in the Great Plains and Southeast. The Nebraska State Patrol Crime Laboratory ITB 125399 OR, posted July 1, 2026 with a July 24, 2026 response deadline, specifies delivery within forty-five calendar days, F.O.B. destination, with pricing firm for the initial one-year term and capped at six percent increases in renewal periods. The Florida Department of Health, Division of Disease Control and Health Protection, Bureau of Public Health Laboratories also procured under related specimen collection and laboratory supply codes for Hologic Panther instruments and NAAT testing kits in a $2.897 million two-year single-source contract with Hologic, Inc., posted April 2, 2026. The Santa Clara County Public Health Lab's RFI for a lab information management solution replacement, posted April 7, 2026, signals demand for modernized specimen tracking and lab workflow systems across state and county health agencies, though it represents system infrastructure rather than collection container procurement itself.
