UNSPSC 41104139: Tamper proof container for specimen custody or security

Pathology Chain of Custody protocols require locked and tamper proof storage boxes, bags and cups for evidentiary specimens.

UNSPSC 41104139 Tamper proof container for specimen custody or security is a Commodity code purchasing tamper-evident and chain-of-custody containers used primarily in law enforcement evidence handling, laboratory specimen collection, and related secure-transfer applications. State and local governments procure these containers as part of broader law enforcement equipment and forensic services sourcing, though recent opportunities show the code tagged sporadically across disparate procurement categories rather than as a standalone focus area.

Recent opportunities under this code span multiple issuing-body types and geographies with limited direct relevance to the code's nominal scope. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on behalf of participating entities in Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima) and other U.S. jurisdictions to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution with response due June 16, 2026—a broad framework that may encompass specimen containers as ancillary items within law enforcement supply. The City of Dallas issued an IFB (IFSDWUB11000025) for Bac T Bottles to the Dallas Water Utilities department due February 27, 2026, a utility-focused purchase unrelated to evidence or custody applications. Collier County, Florida and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System posted separate RFPs for seniors' services and educational materials respectively during March and April 2026—neither substantively connected to tamper-proof specimen containers. The code shows minimal recent activity directly aligned with forensic evidence, laboratory specimen, or chain-of-custody container procurement; state and local buyers appear to source these items either under broader law enforcement or medical-supply umbrellas rather than as discrete commodity purchases.
