UNSPSC 41104134: Refrigerant pack for diagnostic specimen shippers

Gel and liquid refrigerant pack utilized in maintaining a refrigerated environment within a diagnostic specimen shipping container

UNSPSC 41104134 Refrigerant pack for diagnostic specimen shippers, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The one relevant opportunity on record involves DNA Database Buccal Collection Kits—specimen-collection and chain-of-custody materials for forensic laboratories—rather than refrigerant packs or thermal management for shipper systems. State and local governments procuring under this code appear to be primarily law enforcement and forensic laboratories acquiring complete diagnostic specimen collection and containment systems, though the recent posting does not isolate refrigerant or thermal component procurement as a line item.

The State of Nebraska Department of Administrative Services issued an ITB (125399OR) on July 29, 2026 for DNA Database Buccal Collection Kits to supply the Nebraska State Patrol Crime Laboratory, with an original response deadline of July 24, 2026 and an estimated annual volume of 7,500 kits per year under a four-year initial term with optional one-year renewals. A second opportunity—Orange County, Florida's bridge-replacement project (Y26-742)—appears to be mislabeled under this code and bears no relation to specimen shipping or refrigerant packs. The code shows no clear pattern of repeat buyers or geographic concentration based on recent activity; Nebraska represents the only issuing body with a substantive, on-scope procurement.
