UNSPSC 41104125: Histology or pathology preservative specimen container

For prefilled 10% neutral buffered formalin specimen containers and other fixitives, media, and additives that are used for tissue collection and preservation for histology and pathology.

UNSPSC 41104125 Histology or pathology preservative specimen container is a Commodity code that captures specialized laboratory supplies for medical and pathological specimen preservation and transport. State and local governments procure these products primarily through health and human services agencies, hospital systems, and state-supported living centers that require containers meeting regulatory and clinical specifications for safe specimen handling. The code encompasses sealed, chemically appropriate vessels designed to preserve tissue samples, blood specimens, and other biological materials during collection, storage, and laboratory analysis.

The source records show no recent state and local solicitations specifically targeting histology or pathology specimen containers as a primary line item. The single opportunity identified—Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017603 for medical supplies at the Abilene State Supported Living Center (due July 30, 2026)—lists nine medical supply line items including feeding tubes, IV devices, catheters, and sensors, but does not reference specimen preservation containers. The remaining four opportunities in the source record address underground utility locating, irrigation equipment, law enforcement equipment, and debris removal services, none of which relate to pathology or histology supplies. The code appears to see minimal recent procurement activity in the state and local market, or opportunities tagged to this UNSPSC are not represented in current notice data.
