UNSPSC 41104136: Specimen drop box

Box, usually containing a lock mechanism, which is utilized for the receipt and storage of recently collected specimens and which maintains a tamper free environment until that specimen is transported to the testing laboratory

UNSPSC 41104136 Specimen drop box, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The State of Nebraska Department of Administrative Services solicited DNA Database Buccal Collection Kits under ITB 125399 OR, a package that includes specimen containers, envelopes, collection devices, gloves, fingerprint strips, seals, and shipping materials for forensic evidence handling at the Nebraska State Patrol Crime Laboratory. The second recent opportunity tagged to this code—Orange County, Florida's emergency bridge replacement project (Y26-742, estimated cost $6.2 million)—is structurally unrelated to specimen collection and appears to be a coding error in the source system.

State and local issuing bodies using this code are limited in the recent record to state forensic laboratories and their parent administrative agencies. The Nebraska ITB represents the primary relevant activity, calling for approximately 7,500 kits per year under a four-year initial term with four optional one-year renewals, firm pricing for the first year, and F.O.B. destination delivery within forty-five calendar days with a fifteen percent late-delivery penalty. Bids were due July 24, 2026, submitted via Webex with public opening at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. Geographic activity is confined to Nebraska in the relevant solicitation; the code shows little current activity outside forensic evidence collection contexts and does not demonstrate a broad market presence among state, county, or municipal buyers.
