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 (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under this code. State and local procurement offices solicit collection kits for forensic DNA and buccal sampling in crime-laboratory applications, but the recent opportunities block records only one matching solicitation: the State of Nebraska's ITB for DNA Database Buccal Collection Kits (solicitation 125399OR, due July 24, 2026). The second opportunity in the block — Orange County, Florida's bridge replacement project — is unrelated to collection kits and was misclassified. The Nebraska solicitation specifies a forensic-application kit including an envelope, instruction sheet, nitrile gloves, disposable pre-inked fingerprint strip, collection bag, EasiCollect Plus Collection Device (WB120472), sample envelope, proofs, evidence seal, and kit shipping seal, with approximately 7,500 kits required annually under a four-year initial term with optional renewal periods.

Activity under the code appears concentrated in state-level criminal-justice procurement, though the single recent opportunity provides insufficient basis to characterize broader issuing-body patterns or geographic concentration. The Nebraska Department of Administrative Services, Materiel Division, State Purchasing Bureau solicited the DNA collection kits through a competitive ITB with delivery required within forty-five calendar days of order receipt and firm pricing for the initial one-year term, subject to a fifteen percent penalty for late deliveries. No additional state or local collection-kit opportunities are documented in the recent activity block.
