UNSPSC 41104119: Bone tissue collection containers

UNSPSC 41104119 Bone tissue collection containers, a Commodity code, covers specialized kits used by state forensic laboratories and criminal justice agencies to collect, process, and preserve biological samples for DNA analysis and evidence management. State and local governments soliciting under this code include state departments of administrative services and law enforcement, primarily the Nebraska State Patrol Crime Laboratory based on recent activity. The kits themselves contain multiple integrated components—collection devices, swabs, gloves, fingerprint strips, envelopes, evidence seals, and chain-of-custody documentation—designed to meet forensic chain-of-custody standards and comply with DNA evidence handling protocols. Suppliers must meet precise technical specifications for seal integrity, sample preservation, and shipping requirements, with deliveries typically required within forty-five days of order and firm pricing for initial contract terms.

The State of Nebraska, Department of Administrative Services, Materiel Division posted ITB 125399OR on July 29, 2026 (though the due date shown is July 24, 2026) requesting DNA Database Buccal Collection Kits for the Nebraska State Patrol Crime Laboratory, with an estimated annual usage of approximately 7,500 kits and an initial four-year contract term plus four optional one-year renewals. The solicitation specifies the EasiCollect Plus Collection Device and requires samples of five identical kits at no cost within ten business days of request, with late deliveries subject to a fifteen percent penalty. No other recent opportunities under this code appear in the source—the second opportunity listed is an Orange County, Florida bridge replacement project unrelated to tissue collection and appears to be a miscoding. Geographic activity is currently limited to Nebraska based on available recent solicitations.
