UNSPSC 41104131: Pinworm collection paddle or device

Paddle, tape or device utilized for perianal sampling to detect enteric pinworms

UNSPSC 41104131 Pinworm collection paddle or device is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity maps primarily to specimen-collection kits for forensic and diagnostic laboratory use, not pinworm-specific devices. The State of Nebraska, Department of Administrative Services, Materiel Division, State Purchasing Bureau solicited DNA Database Buccal Collection Kits under ITB 125399 OR, specifying kits for the Nebraska State Patrol Crime Laboratory with an estimated annual usage of approximately 7,500 units. Kits included a collection device (EasiCollect Plus), envelope, instruction sheet, nitrile gloves, disposable pre-inked fingerprint strip, collection bag, evidence seal, kit shipping seal, and supporting documentation. The contract structure reflected a four-year initial term with four optional one-year renewals, pricing held firm for year one with subsequent increases capped at six percent, and delivery required within forty-five calendar days at F.O.B. destination. The second opportunity in the source—Orange County, Florida's emergency bridge replacement project Y26-742 estimated at $6.2 million—is unrelated to the code's nominal scope and represents a data-classification mismatch rather than genuine activity under this Commodity.

State and local procurement under this code shows limited recent activity. The Nebraska opportunity represents the primary substantive solicitation in the source, issued by a state purchasing bureau on behalf of a forensic laboratory. Geographic spread is narrow; the source supports only Nebraska as a recent active jurisdiction. The ITB closed on July 24, 2026, with written questions due June 25, 2026. This code sees infrequent state and local procurement activity overall, and the recent record suggests that when it does appear, it reflects institutional laboratory collection-kit buys rather than the pinworm-specific devices the code name implies.
