UNSPSC 41104135: Template bleeding time incision device and blotting paper

Graduated penetration depth device for performing template bleeding times and/or the blotting paper used in the testing process

UNSPSC 41104135 Template bleeding time incision device and blotting paper is a Commodity code that shows limited alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The Nebraska State Patrol DNA Database Buccal Collection Kit solicitation and the Orange County bridge replacement project represent the only recent opportunities tagged to this code, and neither involves template bleeding time devices or blotting paper in any form. The buccal kit solicitation calls for collection and handling supplies — envelopes, instruction sheets, nitrile gloves, fingerprint strips, collection bags, sample envelopes, and evidence seals — for DNA evidence processing at a state crime laboratory. The bridge replacement is a civil infrastructure project wholly outside the code's nominal medical-device scope. State and local issuing bodies tagging work to this code appear limited to select state departments and counties, based on the two recent records available.

The Nebraska Department of Administrative Services and Orange County, Florida represent the only recent issuers in the dataset. The Nebraska opportunity (ITB 125399OR) calls for approximately 7,500 DNA collection kits annually under a four-year initial contract with four optional one-year renewal periods, with bids due July 24, 2026 and firm pricing for the first year followed by capped six-percent increases thereafter. The Orange County opportunity (Y26-742) is a bridge replacement project with an estimated cost of $6,202,246.05 and bids due July 7, 2026, but represents a clear mismatch with the code's stated purpose. Recent activity in this code is concentrated in Nebraska and Florida, though the small sample size and category misalignment suggest this code sees minimal relevant procurement volume in state and local markets. Vendors evaluating this category should treat it as dormant for decision purposes unless they hold existing relationships with crime-laboratory supply chains or can clarify the basis for the bridge-project tagging.
