UNSPSC 41104133: Umbilical cord blood collector

Collection container utilized for the collection of fetal cord blood and/or umbilical cord tissue for general purpose and/or cryogenic stem cell storage

UNSPSC 41104133 Umbilical cord blood collector is a Commodity code that state and local governments are actually procuring as DNA collection kits for forensic and crime laboratory applications, not umbilical cord banking. The State of Nebraska Department of Administrative Services' recent ITB for DNA Database Buccal Collection Kits (due July 24, 2026) illustrates the actual scope: complete kits containing collection devices, evidence seals, chain-of-custody documentation, and protective equipment for forensic DNA sampling. State procurement offices and law-enforcement agencies drive demand under this code, purchasing kits for crime laboratories and forensic databases rather than medical or maternal-health applications. The mismatch between the code's nominal name and the work being solicited reflects how state and local procurement systems sometimes tag forensic collection equipment under medical-device or specimen-collection codes.

Activity under this code is minimal in recent state and local filings. The Nebraska State Patrol Crime Laboratory solicitation (ITB 125399 OR, response due July 24, 2026) represents the only relevant recent opportunity in the source block; the other three posted opportunities—bridge replacement, lab information management system, and X-ray diffraction equipment—are unrelated to specimen collection. Nebraska is the only jurisdiction showing recent relevant activity under this code. Firms pursuing this market should monitor state law-enforcement and crime-lab procurement channels directly rather than relying on broad UNSPSC-code-based searches, as activity is sparse and concentrated in specialized forensic-laboratory contexts.
