UNSPSC 41104130: Blood culture collection kit

Kit used to collect blood culture specimens that includes all venipuncture supplies and/or antimicrobial skin cleansing preparations, and/or is inclusive with blood culture bottles

UNSPSC 41104130 Blood culture collection kit is a Commodity code that encompasses DNA and biological sample collection kits used by state and local forensic and public health laboratories. The recent solicitation activity shows that state and local governments procure specimen-collection assemblies—including swabs, collection devices, gloves, fingerprint strips, evidence seals, chain-of-custody envelopes, and shipping containers—designed for DNA database and forensic evidence purposes. The State of Nebraska Department of Administrative Services issued an ITB on July 1, 2026 for DNA Database Buccal Collection Kits for the Nebraska State Patrol Crime Laboratory, specifying approximately 7,500 kits annually with a four-year initial term and optional renewal periods. State purchasing departments and law enforcement agencies are the primary issuing bodies under this code.

The recent activity is concentrated in the Midwest and shows limited geographic spread from a single recent solicitation. The Nebraska State Patrol procurement (ITB 125399OR, due July 24, 2026) is the representative opportunity on file, calling for completed kits within forty-five calendar days of order, with pricing firm for the first year and subject to a six-percent-maximum increase in renewal periods. The contract is non-exclusive, and the State reserves the right to source the same kits from multiple vendors. No advance payments are permitted, and late deliveries exceeding forty-five days incur a fifteen-percent penalty. Samples of five identical kits are required at no cost within ten business days of request.
