UNSPSC 41104122: Stool collection containers without media

UNSPSC 41104122 Stool collection containers without media is a Commodity code that covers specialized medical collection and transport containers used in clinical and institutional healthcare settings. State and local procurement under this code spans medical supplies purchased by health and human services agencies, state-operated care facilities, and public health institutions for specimen collection, diagnostic testing, and patient care operations. The work involves sourcing standardized, sterile or non-sterile collection vessels meeting clinical specifications and regulatory requirements for safe handling and transport of biological specimens.

The recent opportunities block shows limited direct activity under this specific code. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017603 for medical supplies at the Abilene State Supported Living Center, due July 30, 2026, is the most directly relevant recent solicitation — it covers a broad range of specialized medical equipment and supplies including feeding tubes, catheters, syringes, and IV components sourced from manufacturers including Cardinal Health, C.R. Bard, Becton Dickinson, and Nonin. The remaining opportunities in the block address underground utility locating, travel sprinkler irrigation equipment, law enforcement equipment, irrigation system upgrades, and disaster debris removal — none of which align with stool collection containers or specimen handling. Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas (HHSC procurement) with no other states showing relevant recent opportunities. The code appears to see limited solicitation activity in the recent procurement pipeline; state and local buyers may be consolidating specimen collection supplies under broader medical supply line items or cooperative purchasing agreements not captured in the current opportunity set.
